the price action heading into the new year will be closely monitored — especially given the relatively light economic data and earnings calendar for the coming days.</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 (^GSPC) is entering the period known for ushering in the so-called Santa Claus Rally, or seasonally strong timeframe for stocks at the end of each year.</p>\n<p>The term, coined by Stock Trader's Almanac in the 1970s, encompasses the final five trading days of the year and first two sessions of the new year. This year, that Santa Claus Rally window is set to start on Monday, Dec. 27 — or the latest a Santa Claus rally has started in 11 years, due to the timing of the holidays this year.</p>\n<p>According to data from LPL Financial, the Santa Claus Rally period encapsulates the seven days most likely to be higher in any given year. Since 1950, the Santa Claus Rally period has produced a positive return for the S&amp;P 500 78.9% of the time, with an average return of 1.33%.</p>\n<p>“Why are these seven days so strong?” wrote Ryan Detrick, LPL Financial chief market strategist, in a note. “Whether optimism over a coming new year, holiday spending, traders on vacation, institutions squaring up their books — or the holiday spirit — the bottom line is that bulls tend to believe in Santa.”</p>\n<p>And if history is any indication, the absence of a Santa Claus Rally has also typically served as a harbinger of lower near-term returns.</p>\n<p>\"Going back to the mid-1990s, there have been only six times Santa failed to show in December. January was lower five of those six times, and the full year had a solid gain only once (in 2016, but a mini-bear market early in the year),\" Detrick added.</p>\n<p>“Considering the bear markets of 2000 and 2008 both took place after <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the rare instances that Santa failed to show makes believers out of us,\" he said. A bear market typically refers to when stocks drop at least 20% from recent record highs. \"Should this seasonally strong period miss the mark, it could be a warning sign.\"</p>\n<p>And this year, investors do have considerable additional concerns to mull heading into the new year. Though stocks closed out Thursday's session at fresh record highs before the long holiday weekend, December still marked a volatile month to start, with renewed concerns over the Omicron variant and the potential for tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve weighing on risk assets. Plus, prospects for more near-term fiscal support via the Biden administration's Build Back Better bill have dwindled, and inflation concerns spiked further. Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose at a 4.7% year-over-year clip, or the fastest since 1983.</p>\n<p>\"If the U.S. was not battling the Omicron variant, U.S. stocks would be dancing higher as the Santa Claus Rally would have kept the climb going into uncharted territory,\" Edward Moya, chief market strategist at OANDA, wrote in a note last week. \"It is too early to say for sure if we will get a Santa Claus Rally, but given all the short-term risks of Fed tightening, Chinese weakness, fiscal support uncertainty and COVID, Wall Street is not complaining.\"</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1279eeacff5d764e6ff5b3e8f7a24f49\" tg-width=\"4000\" tg-height=\"2667\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>A man in a Santa Claus costume gestures on the floor at the closing bell of the Dow Industrial Average at the New York Stock Exchange on December 5, 2019 in New York.

This year, that Santa Claus Rally window is set to start on Monday, Dec. 27 — or the latest a Santa Claus rally has started in 11 years, due to the timing of the holidays this year.\nAccording to data from LPL Financial, the Santa Claus Rally period encapsulates the seven days most likely to be higher in any given year. Since 1950, the Santa Claus Rally period has produced a positive return for the S&P 500 78.9% of the time, with an average return of 1.33%.\n“Why are these seven days so strong?” wrote Ryan Detrick, LPL Financial chief market strategist, in a note. “Whether optimism over a coming new year, holiday spending, traders on vacation, institutions squaring up their books — or the holiday spirit — the bottom line is that bulls tend to believe in Santa.”\nAnd if history is any indication, the absence of a Santa Claus Rally has also typically served as a harbinger of lower near-term returns.\n\"Going back to the mid-1990s, there have been only six times Santa failed to show in December. January was lower five of those six times, and the full year had a solid gain only once (in 2016, but a mini-bear market early in the year),\" Detrick added.\n“Considering the bear markets of 2000 and 2008 both took place after one of the rare instances that Santa failed to show makes believers out of us,\" he said. A bear market typically refers to when stocks drop at least 20% from recent record highs. \"Should this seasonally strong period miss the mark, it could be a warning sign.\"\nAnd this year, investors do have considerable additional concerns to mull heading into the new year. Though stocks closed out Thursday's session at fresh record highs before the long holiday weekend, December still marked a volatile month to start, with renewed concerns over the Omicron variant and the potential for tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve weighing on risk assets. Plus, prospects for more near-term fiscal support via the Biden administration's Build Back Better bill have dwindled, and inflation concerns spiked further. Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge — rose at a 4.7% year-over-year clip, or the fastest since 1983.\n\"If the U.S. was not battling the Omicron variant, U.S. stocks would be dancing higher as the Santa Claus Rally would have kept the climb going into uncharted territory,\" Edward Moya, chief market strategist at OANDA, wrote in a note last week. \"It is too early to say for sure if we will get a Santa Claus Rally, but given all the short-term risks of Fed tightening, Chinese weakness, fiscal support uncertainty and COVID, Wall Street is not complaining.\"\nA man in a Santa Claus costume gestures on the floor at the closing bell of the Dow Industrial Average at the New York Stock Exchange on December 5, 2019 in New York.

The <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/ARKK\">ARK Innovation ETF</a></b> (NYSEMKT:ARKK) is down 38% off its all-time high and down 22% year to date.</p>\n<p>ARK and Wood invest in lots of high-growth tech stocks that have been battered this year, which is what's causing the fund's poor performance. <b>Coinbase Global</b> (NASDAQ:COIN), <b>Shopify</b> (NYSE:SHOP), and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b> (NYSE:PATH) are some of Cathie Wood's favorites, and all are between 20% and 50% off their all-time highs. However, the fact that millions of dollars of their stock are sitting in Wood's ETFs should be indicative of their long-term potential. These companies are trading at bargain prices today, so you might want to consider putting them on your watchlist.</p>\n<h2>Coinbase: A way to invest in crypto</h2>\n<p>Coinbase is ARK Invest's third-largest holding, clocking in at a market value of $1.25 billion. Shares of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange have sunk like a stone recently, falling 32% off its all-time highs. However, this isn't fully indicative of business performance.</p>\n<p>With over $255 billion in assets across 100 different countries and 72 million users, Coinbase has become a cornerstone of the crypto economy as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the leading, most trusted cryptocurrency exchanges. The company takes a cut of every purchase of crypto on the platform, so the rise in popularity of cryptocurrency has resulted in impressive revenue success. The company's revenue increased by over 330% year over year in Q3. With this, the company has also achieved impressive profitability: Coinbase brought almost one-third of its revenue to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>While its reliance on cryptocurrencies like <b>Bitcoin</b> (CRYPTO:BTC) has led to amazing growth recently, it's really a double-edged sword. The company makes money only on purchases of crypto, so in large-scale crypto sell-offs, the company is left stranded.

Whether this is justified or not, Coinbase will likely mimic the crypto market, and its success largely depends on the widespread adoption of crypto. Therefore, if you think that cryptocurrencies will skyrocket over the next decade, Coinbase could be a smart investment.</p>\n<h2>UiPath: An AI pureplay</h2>\n<p>While not as large as Coinbase, ARK ETFs hold over $1 billion of UiPath stock -- making it the sixth-largest holding across all of Wood's funds. UiPath is disrupting the way companies operate and handle tedious, repetitive tasks by normalizing the use of artificial intelligence and bots. The company has the vision to deliver a fully automated enterprise so that workers can optimize their efficiency, and the way the company is doing this has attracted companies like <b>AutoDesk</b> (NASDAQ:ADSK)&nbsp;and NASA.</p>\n<p>While UiPath's product sounds like a pie-in-the-sky dream, the company is more than real. It has over 9,600 customers and $818 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). With such dominance, UiPath has been named a market leader in the robotic process automation (RPA) market in <b>Gartner</b>'s Magic Quadrant. As the leader, it has gained the trust and confidence of companies that might be wary of bringing automation and robots into the workplace.</p>\n<p>UiPath has lots of potential to grow. The company sees a $30 billion addressable opportunity by 2024, which would be immense growth from its current $818 million in ARR. UiPath might get some pushback along the way from those wary of integrating robots into the workplace, but its robots can provide efficiency improvements. The company has saved its customers millions of hours and dollars without putting workers' jobs on the line. UiPath is meant to work alongside human employees, and it has been successful in doing so.</p>\n<p>Shares have fallen drastically since it came public earlier this year, and that has provided a valuation that an appealing valuation public at 60 times sales, but it now trades at 22 times sales. Cathie Wood has taken the opportunity to buy more shares this December, and you might want to consider doing the same.</p>\n<h2>Shopify: The rising e-commerce pick</h2>\n<p>Shopify is farther down at the 11th-largest ARK position, but still represents $950 million worth of shares -- and for good reason. The company has doubled its gross merchandise volume (GMV) over the past 16 months, reaching $400 billion in cumulative GMV on its merchants' platforms in Q3. This has been because of the company's relentless focus on its customers' growth and success. This is unrivaled by competitors like <b>Amazon</b> (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.</p>\n<p>The company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.</p>\n<p>This focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves</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\">\n3 Bargain Stocks That Cathie Wood Loves\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-26 10:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/3-bargain-stocks-that-cathie-wood-loves/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>After an astounding 2020, the chief investment officer of ARK Invest and stock picker extraordinaire Cathie Wood has had a rough 2021.

This is unrivaled by competitors like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which have often stifled SMBs by noticing their success and then offering and promoting a self-developed product that competes with them directly.\nThe company recently announced a new feature that would make international sales easier for merchants. Shopify Markets would allow companies to streamline global expansion -- something many Shopify users might never have thought possible. The company also has plans to roll out additional features over the next few years, with one of my personal favorites being Shopify Fulfillment. With this, users could access the fulfillment network that Shopify is building out and let the company pack and ship orders for them.\nThis focus on customer success is truly unique, which is why the company demands a very high premium. The company trades at roughly 40 times sales, which is the highest valuation out of these three stocks. However, I also believe that Shopify is the highest-quality stock on this list. While all three of these stocks are appealing, Shopify has proven itself the most, and the company's expansion efforts beyond SMB look very promising. While there is more risk that share prices could continue dropping, I think it is worth paying up for high-quality companies, and Shopify fits that bill. Given the number of shares that Cathie Wood owns, I think she is in agreement.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698553149,"gmtCreate":1640476217863,"gmtModify":1640476218160,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698553149","repostId":"2193317305","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2193317305","pubTimestamp":1640399660,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2193317305?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-25 10:34","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Can This Top Blue Chip Stock Handle Soaring Inflation?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2193317305","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"We are in strange times right now, so how companies navigate the current environment is vital to their success.","content":"<p>In the month of November, the Consumer Price Index, a widely used measure of inflation, jumped 6.8% from a year ago. Sparked by supply-chain disruptions and labor shortages across the economy, it was the highest increase in almost 40 years.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>For a company like&nbsp;<b>Home Depot</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:HD) that has done extremely well during the pandemic, the threat of rising costs is a real challenge heading into the new year, having possibly negative implications ahead of what is traditionally a busy spring and summer for the&nbsp;business.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Continue reading to find out how this&nbsp;blue chip stock&nbsp;is dealing with the current situation.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Lumber prices are going back up&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>A major commodity that has a meaningful&nbsp;impact&nbsp;on Home Depot's&nbsp;business&nbsp;is lumber. From April 2020 to May 2021,&nbsp;lumber prices skyrocketed&nbsp;to nearly $1,700 per thousand board feet, an all-time record. Prices came down over the following few months, but they shot up again from mid-November to mid-December, settling at just over $1,000 per thousand board feet today. This is still extremely high from a historical perspective.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\"Lumber is a driver of projects throughout the business, and that certainly carries on,\" Chief Executive Officer Craig Menear highlighted on the company's third-quarter earnings call. During Home Depot's fiscal second quarter that ended Aug. 1 (when lumber prices were sky-high), the company posted record quarterly sales of $41.1 billion. The gross margin of 33.2%, while down slightly from previous quarters, was still very healthy and in line with past results.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>This is a positive indicator of Home Depot's ability to handle the unpredictable price swings with a core commodity like lumber. As prices soared, unit sales fell. Even so, the business reported a historic quarter. Now, as lumber prices rise, especially ahead of the busy home-building and remodeling season in the spring and summer, don't be surprised if lumber unit sales start to drop again.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Nonetheless, other product categories like outdoor garden, appliances, and kitchen and bath should be strong. And thanks to a robust housing market, characterized by low interest rates, consumers are increasingly looking to undertake renovation projects to boost the value of their existing homes. This underlying trend supports demand for the products and services Home Depot offers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>\"We have effectively managed inflationary environments in the past, and we feel good about our ability to continue managing through the current environment,\" said President and Chief Operating Officer Ted Decker on the latest conference call with Wall Street analysts.</p>\n<h2>Home Depot's success is&nbsp;undeniable&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>One of Home Depot's overarching objectives is to be the low-cost provider in the home improvement industry. This means that the business wants to lag competitors when raising prices and lead when reducing prices. Obviously, this negatively impacts profitability in the near term as the company is hesitant to pass higher costs on to consumers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>But if we look at Home Depot's historical performance, we see that this is definitely the right strategy to take. Over the past several years, while revenue has grown in the mid-single digits on a yearly basis, net income has soared as a result of expanding margins. In fiscal 2015, profit totaled $7 billion. Over the trailing-12-month period, it was almost $16 billion.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And the business is popular among contractors and other professionals, who account for roughly 45% of sales. Instead of immediately passing on higher input costs, which could alienate these high-value customers and push them to competitors, Home Depot understands that building long-term relationships with them is crucial to the success of the company. Sacrificing margin in unusual times like today to keep customers loyal is the right move.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The current economic environment is full of uncertainties with issues like the omicron coronavirus variant and tightening monetary policy receiving the bulk of investors' attention. When it comes to inflation in particular, I have no reason to believe that Home Depot won't be able to step up to whatever challenges 2022 brings. &nbsp;</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Can This Top Blue Chip Stock Handle Soaring Inflation?</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\">\nCan This Top Blue Chip Stock Handle Soaring Inflation?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-25 10:34 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/12/24/can-top-blue-chip-stock-handle-soaring-inflation/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In the month of November, the Consumer Price Index, a widely used measure of inflation, jumped 6.8% from a year ago.

The home-exercise technology company also had its sails trimmed on Thursday when analysts at Citi cut their price target on Peloton's (PTON) stock to $38 a share on expectations of higher expenses and falling demand for Peloton (PTON) products next year.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":444,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":698947331,"gmtCreate":1640296629557,"gmtModify":1640296630485,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/698947331","repostId":"1192623075","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1192623075","pubTimestamp":1640269891,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192623075?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-23 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. adds Merck pill as 2nd easy-to-use drug against COVID-19","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192623075","media":"SeattleTimes","summary":"U.S. health regulators on Thursday authorized the second pill against COVID-19, providing another ea","content":"<p>U.S. health regulators on Thursday authorized the second pill against COVID-19, providing another easy-to-use medication to battle the rising tide of omicron infections.</p>\n<p>The Food and Drug Administration authorization of Merck’s molnupiravir comes one day after the agency cleared a competing drug from Pfizer.

Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk said in an interview he has sold \"enough stock\" following several weeks of share sales by the billionaire.\nU.S. consumer confidence improved further in December, suggesting the economy would continue to expand in 2022. The survey from the Conference Board showed more consumers planned to buy a house and big-ticket items such as motor vehicles and major household appliances as well as go on vacation over the next six months.\nOther reports showed U.S. home sales increased for a third straight month in November, and that gross domestic product increased at a 2.3% annualized rate in the July-September quarter, revised up from the 2.1% rate estimated last month.\nIn another encouraging development against the pandemic, the United States authorized Pfizer Inc's oral antiviral COVID-19 pill for at-risk people aged 12 and above, making it the first at-home treatment for the coronavirus. Pfizer shares rose 1%.\nThe benchmark S&P 500 is now up 25% so far in 2021. Still, the environment for equities could be changing heading into next year as the Federal Reserve is expected to begin raising interest rates in 2022 to rein in inflation.\nThe market is \"certainly at an extended level of valuation,\" said Rick Meckler, partner at Cherry Lane Investments in New Vernon, New Jersey. “Next year is a more difficult picture, but if inflation is going to be part of the problem, I think investors will certainly choose stocks over bonds.”\nAdvancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 3.17-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.65-to-1 ratio favored advancers.\nThe S&P 500 posted 15 new 52-week highs and no new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 35 new highs and 99 new lows.\nAbout 8.6 billion shares changed hands in U.S. exchanges, below the 11.8 billion daily average over the last 20 sessions.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":726,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691914726,"gmtCreate":1640124361829,"gmtModify":1640124362101,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691914726","repostId":"1131687838","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1131687838","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com

This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Meta Platforms</a></b> (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.</p>\n<p>The metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.</p>\n<p>Let's take a look at the <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/META\">Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF</a> </b>(NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF).

That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the <b>S&amp;P 500 </b>index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy <b>Nasdaq Composite</b> has gained 4.7% over this period.</p>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.</p>\n<p>This ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.</p>\n<h2>Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings</h2>\n<table>\n <thead>\n  <tr>\n   <th><p><b>Holding No.&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>&nbsp;Company</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Market Cap&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n   <th><p>Wall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years</p></th>\n   <th><p><b>Weight (% of Portfolio)</b></p></th>\n   <th><p><b>YTD 2021 Return&nbsp;</b></p></th>\n  </tr>\n </thead>\n <thead></thead>\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>1</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Nvidia </b>(NASDAQ:NVDA)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$710 billion</p></td>\n   <td>39.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>10.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>118%</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>2</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Roblox </b>(NYSE:RBLX)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$55 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>8.6%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A*</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>3</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Microsoft </b>(NASDAQ:MSFT)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$2.4 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>16.5%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">7.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">47.3%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>4</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Meta Platforms</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$932 billion</p></td>\n   <td>21.4%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">6.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">22.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>5</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Unity Software </b>(NYSE:U)</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$38 billion</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(13%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td><p>6</p></td>\n   <td><p><b>Apple</b></p></td>\n   <td>$2.8 trillion</td>\n   <td>15.7%</td>\n   <td>4.2%</td>\n   <td>30.6%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>7</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Amazon.com</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$1.7 trillion</p></td>\n   <td>36%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.2%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">3.7%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>8</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Autodesk</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$59 billion</p></td>\n   <td>28.8%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">4.1%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(11.7%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>9</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Qualcomm</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$200 billion</p></td>\n   <td>25.6%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\">3.9%</td>\n   <td width=\"108\">19.1%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>Tencent Holdings</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>$545 billion</p></td>\n   <td>3.7%</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>3.9%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">(20.8%)</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>Total Top 10</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>58.7%</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td width=\"101\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"198\"><p><b>S&amp;P 500</b> / <b>Nasdaq Composite Indexes</b></p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n   <td width=\"102\"><p>N/A</p></td>\n   <td width=\"108\">26% / 17.8%</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Data sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo! Finance, and YCharts. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Roblox went public via a direct listing on March 10, 2021; its stock is up 47.6% from the opening price on the first trading day. Data to Dec. 16, 2021.</p>\n<p>Below is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.</p>\n<p>Nvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.</p>\n<p>Roblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.</p>\n<p>Microsoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.</p>\n<p>Last week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.</p>\n<h2>A solid way to invest in the metaverse</h2>\n<p>The Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.</p>\n<p>If you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view.

This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.\nThe metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.\nLet's take a look at the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF). You might decide that one or more of this ETF's holdings are worth further exploration or that you want to buy the ETF itself.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Performance and the basics\nThis ETF only began trading on June 30, 2021, so it's too soon to make any judgments about its performance. That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the S&P 500 index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained 4.7% over this period.\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.\nThis ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings\n\n\n\nHolding No. \n Company\nMarket Cap \nWall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years\nWeight (% of Portfolio)\nYTD 2021 Return \n\n\n\n\n\n1\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n$710 billion\n39.4%\n10.6%\n118%\n\n\n2\nRoblox (NYSE:RBLX)\n$55 billion\nN/A\n8.6%\nN/A*\n\n\n3\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n$2.4 trillion\n16.5%\n7.7%\n47.3%\n\n\n4\nMeta Platforms\n$932 billion\n21.4%\n6.6%\n22.6%\n\n\n5\nUnity Software (NYSE:U)\n$38 billion\nN/A\n4.9%\n(13%)\n\n\n6\nApple\n$2.8 trillion\n15.7%\n4.2%\n30.6%\n\n\n7\nAmazon.com\n$1.7 trillion\n36%\n4.2%\n3.7%\n\n\n8\nAutodesk\n$59 billion\n28.8%\n4.1%\n(11.7%)\n\n\n9\nQualcomm\n$200 billion\n25.6%\n3.9%\n19.1%\n\n\n10\nTencent Holdings\n$545 billion\n3.7%\n3.9%\n(20.8%)\n\n\nTotal Top 10\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n58.7%\nN/A\n\n\nN/A\nS&P 500 / Nasdaq Composite Indexes\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n26% / 17.8%\n\n\n\nData sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo! Finance, and YCharts. EPS = earnings per share. YTD = year to date. *Roblox went public via a direct listing on March 10, 2021; its stock is up 47.6% from the opening price on the first trading day. Data to Dec. 16, 2021.\nBelow is a brief look at how the top five companies in this ETF are involved in the metaverse.\nNvidia is a \"pick-and-shovel\" play on the metaverse. That is, the computer gaming and tech giant provides the tools other companies need to create their own metaverses. Most notable among these tools is its recently launched Omniverse platform. The \"Omniverse brings together Nvidia's expertise in AI [artificial intelligence], simulation, graphics, and computing infrastructure,\" CEO Jensen Huang said last month in the company's release of its stellar fiscal third-quarter results.\nRoblox (No. 2) and Unity Software (No. 5) are gaming engines that can be used to create virtual worlds. They're both relatively new to the public markets: Roblox went public in March 2021 via a direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange and Unity held its initial public offering (IPO) in September 2020. Both companies are rapidly growing revenue, but neither is profitable from an accounting standpoint.\nMicrosoft has been building Mesh, its mixed-reality platform that will power Microsoft Teams and other applications. Users will be able to access Mesh on the company's enterprise-focused augmented-reality headset HoloLens 2, as well as virtual reality (VR) headsets, mobile phones, tablets, or PCs using any Mesh-enabled app.\nLast week, Meta Platforms took its first leap into the metaverse via its public launch of Horizon Worlds to adults in the U.S. and Canada. Horizon Worlds is a free social VR platform in which users equipped with the company's Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets can interact.\nA solid way to invest in the metaverse\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF looks like a solid way for investors to get exposure to the metaverse. The drawback of ETFs is the same as their advantage: diversification. Indeed, investors willing to do some work and select individual stocks should have a decent shot at outperforming this fund.\nIf you're looking for a larger company that's profitable, it's probably hard to go wrong with Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. Meta Platforms (the former Facebook) isn't as good a bet. It has higher regulatory risk than the other big U.S.-based tech companies, in my view. Moreover, it has nearly all its (revenue) eggs in one basket because it generates almost all of its revenue from digital advertising.\nRisk-averse investors should steer clear of Tencent Holdings because it's headquartered in China. The Chinese government has been cracking down on tech companies, making their regulatory risk high.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":317,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690529902,"gmtCreate":1639695093688,"gmtModify":1639695093928,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690529902","repostId":"1195807724","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195807724","pubTimestamp":1639666797,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195807724?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-16 22:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. manufacturing activity slows; factory supply constraints easing - IHS Markit survey","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1195807724","media":"Reuters","summary":"U.S. manufacturing activity slowed to a one-year low in December, but there are signs that labor and","content":"<p>U.S. manufacturing activity slowed to a one-year low in December, but there are signs that labor and raw material supply constraints at factories are starting to ease.</p>\n<p>Data firm IHS Markit said on Thursday that its flash manufacturing PMI fell to a reading of 57.8 in mid-December from 58.3 in November.

If this continued for the next 15 years, you would have over $300,000 in savings to retire on if you invested $100,000, which is bigger than the average 60-year-old American's 401(k) balance.</p>\n<p>While this strategy could produce solid returns, there are two stocks that could crush that average by 2035. Here's why I think <b>Latch</b> (NASDAQ:LTCH) and <b>Lemonade</b> (NYSE:LMND) have the potential to provide high-quality returns so that you can retire right.</p>\n<h2>1. Latch: Smart security</h2>\n<p>This smart lock manufacturer is taking the industry by storm with its software. With LatchOS, apartment managers can get a birds-eye view of all their apartments on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> platform, making sure all of their tenants are safe and secure. Moreover, managers can let in workers or delivery people from that platform. Latch is the only company that can offer a combination of smart, keyless locks and innovative software, so it's no wonder it is rapidly being adopted by apartment buildings across America.</p>\n<p>Nearly a third of new apartment buildings are being built today with Latch installed in them, and once Latch's locks are in, it can be incredibly hard to replace them with a competitor. Additionally, when customers agree to use Latch, they sign six- to 10-year contracts to use LatchOS. These two factors provide amazingly high switching costs, so once Latch is installed, it's likely that its users will stay Latch users for a long time. Latch has experienced zero turnovers since it started operations in 2017, and that will probably continue to be the case.</p>\n<p>Latch's market is massive, and the high switching costs and first-mover advantage will likely allow the company to capitalize on it.

Since Latch customers sign agreements with Latch to use its products before the apartments are even built, it is crucial that Latch is in talks with apartment managers before the construction team breaks ground. That is why Latch has partnered with some of the largest apartment builders in the U.S., like <b>Brookfield</b> (NYSE:BAM) and <b>Avalon Bay</b> (NYSE:AVB).</p>\n<p>This company has only been operational since 2017, so there are plenty of risks with this business. The primary risk is that it is losing lots of cash.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Metric</th>\n   <th>Q3 2020</th>\n   <th>Q3 2021</th>\n   <th>Change</th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss</td>\n   <td>$15.9 million</td>\n   <td>$34.2 million</td>\n   <td>115%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss as a percentage of revenue</td>\n   <td>311.5%</td>\n   <td>305.7%</td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>The company is making most of its money today on its locks, which it sells at a loss. These losses are bad today, but Latch's profitability can improve. Latch has noted that the timeframe it takes from construction to a builder beginning their subscription services is 24 months. The contracts the company has seen could finally turn into reportable revenue within the next couple of years. Analysts see the potential as well with growth forecasts of nearly 50% for the next five years.</p>\n<p>Also, as its customers stay with the company longer and pay more in its subscription fees for the software -- which has gross margins of 90% -- the company's losses will likely improve to provide a pathway to profitability. This could be a multi-year effort, but if it can use its differentiated product and strong partnerships to attract customers and its high switching costs to retain them, Latch could give investors immense returns by 2035.</p>\n<h2>2. Lemonade: An insurance provider anyone can love</h2>\n<p>Lemonade is making insurance enjoyable. Whether applying for insurance or getting a claim, Lemonade's process is easy and hassle-free with its artificial intelligence (AI)-based bots that can approve applicants and claims in seconds. The company is also aligning its interest with its consumers: Lemonade charges a flat fee, and any money from leftover claims that went unpaid goes to charities that Lemonade customers choose. So far in 2021, Lemonade has donated over $2.2 million in unpaid claims on behalf of its customers.</p>\n<p>Lemonade's incentive alignment structure can hurt its bottom line, but it has resulted in amazing customer attraction. Lemonade has over 1.3 million customers, and it has been one of the fastest-growing insurance stocks ever.</p>\n<p>The company started in renters insurance, targeting young renters. However, just as its customers have moved on in life, Lemonade has expanded. Now it offers homeowners, pet, life, and even car insurance. Lemonade hopes to attract young customers with small offerings like renters and car insurance, then integrate them deeper into the ecosystem with its fast and delightful service.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Metric</th>\n   <th>First Nine Months of 2020</th>\n   <th>First Nine Months of 2021</th>\n   <th>Change</th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss</td>\n   <td>$88.4 million</td>\n   <td>$171.0 million</td>\n   <td>93.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss as a percentage of revenue</td>\n   <td>119.6%</td>\n   <td>195.6%</td>\n   <td><p>N/A</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>This major uptick in net losses has primarily been because of the company's loss ratio. Lemonade's net loss ratio -- which represents the amount of premium paid out on claims -- was 77% in the third quarter. A ratio of 75% or below is the long-term goal that management is targeting, but it has been consistently higher in 2021 because of the new products that Lemonade has launched this year and in 2020.</p>\n<p>Lemonade's AI can often take time to learn and collect data about its new markets, resulting in poor short-term performance but long-term opportunities. As its AI obtains more data, it should become more accurate, lowering its loss ratio and its net loss. With the lowered loss ratio, investors could expect the company to generate a profit, which would provide optimism beyond its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts.</p>\n<p>Both of these companies are incredibly young and are quite risky today, which is clearly noted in the stock decreases of more than 25% for each year-to-date. But in a balanced portfolio, these stocks could define someone's future investing success. If both companies can use their competitive edges to rapidly grow their business over the next 15 years and become profitable, they could reward investors by 2035.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $1 Million in Retirement?

If this continued for the next 15 years, you would have over $300,000 in savings to retire on if you invested $100,000, which is bigger than the average 60-year-old American's 401(k) balance.\nWhile this strategy could produce solid returns, there are two stocks that could crush that average by 2035. Here's why I think Latch (NASDAQ:LTCH) and Lemonade (NYSE:LMND) have the potential to provide high-quality returns so that you can retire right.\n1. Latch: Smart security\nThis smart lock manufacturer is taking the industry by storm with its software. With LatchOS, apartment managers can get a birds-eye view of all their apartments on one platform, making sure all of their tenants are safe and secure. Moreover, managers can let in workers or delivery people from that platform. Latch is the only company that can offer a combination of smart, keyless locks and innovative software, so it's no wonder it is rapidly being adopted by apartment buildings across America.\nNearly a third of new apartment buildings are being built today with Latch installed in them, and once Latch's locks are in, it can be incredibly hard to replace them with a competitor.

200,000.\nAutomotive News reported earlier on Friday that Ford was postponing the production of electric versions of the Explorer and Lincoln Aviator crossovers by about one and a half years to increase manufacturing of its Mustang Mach-E SUVs.\nFord told its suppliers that production of these new EVs is now scheduled to start in December 2024, according to the report.\nFord did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Automotive News report.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":219,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":605471024,"gmtCreate":1639234288227,"gmtModify":1639234288498,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/605471024","repostId":"2190675480","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2190675480","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com

The company raised $2.60 billion, as it sold 289.15 million shares in the IPO, which priced at $9, compared with the expected range of between $8 and $9 a share. With 4.61 billion shares expected after the IPO, the pricing values the company at about $41.48 billion. The stock is expected to begin trading some time after the open under the ticker symbol \"NU.\"\nBerkshire bought 10% of the shares in the offering, said a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be identified because it wasn’t public. Berkshire didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment sent to Buffett’s assistant.\nNubank’s IPO makes it the most valuable financial institution in Latin America, surpassing Itau Unibanco Holding SA, with a $38 billion market value.\nSequoia Capital, which invested $1 million in Nubank in 2013 in a seed round, now has a stake that is worth $7.1 billion at the $9 share price, based on the company’s filings. Other top shareholders include DST Global, Tencent and Tiger Global.\nBerkshire’s Stake\nBerkshire invested in Nubank in June, taking a $500 million stake valuing the company at $30 billion, a person familiar with the matter said at the time.\nNubank, the world’s biggest standalone digital bank, had more than 48 million customers across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia as of September. It provides easy-to-use financial products that come with relatively low fees.\nExpansion Push\nThe company said it had a $99 million loss on revenue of $1.06 billion for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30. Interest income accounted for $607 million of that revenue, with fees and commissions making up the remainder.\nNubank warned investors to brace for “short-term profit implications” from the firm’s expansion push.\nChief Executive Officer David Velez will own a stake in the company worth about $8.9 billion at the IPO price. His co-founder, Cristina Junqueira, has a stake worth $1.1 billion.\nBefore creating the startup, Velez spent two years at Sequoia, trying to find an investment in Latin America. Instead he left with an idea of his own.\nVelez, who’s Colombian, had a grueling experience opening a bank account in Brazil and enlisted Junqueira, fresh off a stint at Itau’s credit card unit, to help him create an alternative.\nBrazil, like much of Latin America, is plagued by expensive financial services that are available to only a limited portion of the population. Century-old banks dominate the market beset by bureaucratic barriers. Still, a high percentage of the region’s 700 million people own mobile phones, making it an attractive target for digital banks.\nVelez, whose Class B shares come with 20 votes each compared with one apiece for the Class A shares sold in the IPO, will hold 75% of the company’s voting power after the offering. Junqueira will control 9.3% of the voting power. Neither planned to sell shares in the offering, according to the filings.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":132,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":602153024,"gmtCreate":1638997959542,"gmtModify":1638998243770,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/602153024","repostId":"1161444269","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1161444269","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1638977215,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1161444269?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-08 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple shares rose nearly 2% to a new high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1161444269","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Apple shares rose nearly 2% to a new high in morning trading.","content":"<p>Apple shares rose nearly 2% to a new high&nbsp;in morning trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9a9f5fdc1cb0a898675c515a39de7611\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The internet's been around for 20 years, 25 years, but it's still making these changes.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWOA.U\">Two</a> companies I really love in the telehealth space, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of them is Doximity, just came public this year. DOCS is their ticker. Doximity is basically the <b>Facebook</b> of healthcare, the LinkedIn of healthcare. Eighty percent of doctors are on the Doximity platform, 90% of med students are on the Doximity platform. It is a huge networking site for healthcare, for doctors, and they've got three businesses that they run from their website. One is the LinkedIn for people in healthcare looking for jobs, that networking thing. You don't go to Facebook and you don't go to LinkedIn, you go to Doximity because that's where they all are. The other one they do is they do telehealth, so they compete with <b>Teladoc</b> and they actually did a lot more telehealth visits than (Teladoc) over the last year. That's actually why I got into the stock because I was just blown away.</p>\n<p>They rolled out Dialer, it's called Dialer. They rolled it out at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. The doctors on their platform just love Dialer because it allowed them to do telehealth through that network with their actual patients. It protected them, protected their privacy so the patients couldn't call them in the middle of the night or anything. That was the other one. Then of course, the third business is having that Facebook-type business where pharmaceutical companies and other people can reach doctors and other healthcare professionals. The advertising business, monetizing all those medical eyeballs. That's a big part of Doximity's plan.</p>\n<p>OptimizeRX is another much smaller company in the telehealth space, which I own both of these to give you just a warning, I guess, about my own bias. But I love both of these stocks. Optimize is a lot smaller, but they're focused in a different area that Doximity is not. OptimizeRX is focused on electronic health records. Electronic health records are those things your doctor's looking at when he's looking at his iPad. All your health records are going to be online pretty much, but there is no <b>Microsoft</b> in this area. There are like 500 or 600 software providers or a thousand. There's just a ton of little ones. OptimizeRX is putting together an entire network. They put it together. I think it's like 60% or 70% of doctors is their reach in that electronic health network. The idea is maybe to give a little link to a Harvard study when the doctor is looking at his notes about this new drugs so that the pharmaceutical companies can reach a doctor in the course of this workflow without interrupting his workflow and bring new -- because doctors always have to get update on new things, new studies, new drugs, new stuff. Optimize is a specialist at that. And I thought, wow, these two companies would really fit into the Doximity wheelhouse because it's all about connection, and healthcare connection, and reaching doctors. That would be my suggestion.</p>\n<p>But I agree with you, I don't know if anybody listens to me, [laughs] but both stocks have done actually really well. In fact, OptimizeRx has done better. I think it's about doubled this year. They're still small, I think it's a billion (market cap). It's a tiny company. Doximity is a lot bigger, but they might be a good combo.</p>\n<p><b>Jason Hall:</b> It's interesting because it's one of those spaces that there are just dozens and dozens of companies that do these things.

While Apple might look somewhat expensive at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27, analysts have been underestimating the iPhone maker for years. The stock has delivered multibagger returns over the last decade even though the brand was just as well known in 2011 as it is today.</p>\n<p>Wait times for the newest iPhones are reported to be the longest in at least four years at more than four weeks. While Wall Street tries to figure out whether it's genuine demand or supply shortages creating the delays, the only thing that matters is that the 5G upgrade cycle is definitely here, and it's going to lead to more revenue growth for Apple over the next few years.</p>\n<p>Apple started the year with an installed base of 1.65 billion devices worldwide, a new record.&nbsp;The introduction of 5G on the iPhone 12 drove strong revenue performance a year ago. Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2021&nbsp; (through June), iPhone sales were up 37.5% year over year. The new iPhone 13 should pull in users that skipped last year's upgrade, especially once people get a look at the smoothness of the new screens on the Pro models.</p>\n<p>The iPhone is the flywheel product for Apple, since strong sales tend to spill over to other products and services. All said, Apple is looking at a profitable stretch of growth and is a good bet for investors.</p>\n<h2>Micron Technology: A top provider of essential mobile hardware</h2>\n<p>Micron is a leading supplier of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), non-volatile memory (NAND), and NOR flash memory and storage products that are used in consumer PCs, data centers, and by some of the leading smartphone manufacturers. Long-term demand trends in the data center and 5G markets are driving a strong growth phase for the company, with revenue up 29% in fiscal 2021, which ended in September.</p>\n<p>Micron's mobile business unit grew 26% in fiscal 2021 and accounted for slightly more than a quarter of its total revenue. Management is anticipating another strong year of growth, as 5G phones contain significantly more memory capacity than 4G phones.</p>\n<p>Micron has supplied products for iPhones in the past, but a recent teardown of the iPhone 13 revealed that Apple chose to use chips from Micron competitors SK Hynix and Kioxia this time around. This isn't a problem for Micron, though, since the smartphone market is much bigger than Apple, with 5G smartphone sales expected to reach 500 million units this year.</p>\n<p>Given the growth Micron is seeing across the data center, mobile, automotive, and industrial markets, the stock looks particularly attractive at a forward P/E of just 7.2.

While Apple might look somewhat expensive at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27, analysts have been underestimating the iPhone maker for years. The stock has delivered multibagger returns over the last decade even though the brand was just as well known in 2011 as it is today.\nWait times for the newest iPhones are reported to be the longest in at least four years at more than four weeks. While Wall Street tries to figure out whether it's genuine demand or supply shortages creating the delays, the only thing that matters is that the 5G upgrade cycle is definitely here, and it's going to lead to more revenue growth for Apple over the next few years.\nApple started the year with an installed base of 1.65 billion devices worldwide, a new record. The introduction of 5G on the iPhone 12 drove strong revenue performance a year ago. Through the first three quarters of fiscal 2021  (through June), iPhone sales were up 37.5% year over year. The new iPhone 13 should pull in users that skipped last year's upgrade, especially once people get a look at the smoothness of the new screens on the Pro models.\nThe iPhone is the flywheel product for Apple, since strong sales tend to spill over to other products and services. All said, Apple is looking at a profitable stretch of growth and is a good bet for investors.\nMicron Technology: A top provider of essential mobile hardware\nMicron is a leading supplier of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), non-volatile memory (NAND), and NOR flash memory and storage products that are used in consumer PCs, data centers, and by some of the leading smartphone manufacturers. Long-term demand trends in the data center and 5G markets are driving a strong growth phase for the company, with revenue up 29% in fiscal 2021, which ended in September.\nMicron's mobile business unit grew 26% in fiscal 2021 and accounted for slightly more than a quarter of its total revenue. Management is anticipating another strong year of growth, as 5G phones contain significantly more memory capacity than 4G phones.\nMicron has supplied products for iPhones in the past, but a recent teardown of the iPhone 13 revealed that Apple chose to use chips from Micron competitors SK Hynix and Kioxia this time around. This isn't a problem for Micron, though, since the smartphone market is much bigger than Apple, with 5G smartphone sales expected to reach 500 million units this year.\nGiven the growth Micron is seeing across the data center, mobile, automotive, and industrial markets, the stock looks particularly attractive at a forward P/E of just 7.2. Throw in a small quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share (yielding about 0.15% at the current stock price), and investors are looking at one cheap stock to invest in the 5G growth cycle.\nZynga: A fast-growing mobile game producer\nIt's not just hardware suppliers that will benefit from 5G. People who play mobile games will see significant benefits, such as faster downloads, from the technology and Zynga is the company behind several popular mobile games, including FarmVille, Merge Magic!, Empires & Puzzles, and Words With Friends. The stock has delivered a return of 150% over the last five years, and the era of 5G could significantly boost player engagement and growth for this company.\nPlayers using 5G devices will be able to download games with large file sizes much faster while away from their home Wi-Fi network, which could increase player engagement. 5G speeds will also bring major benefits to online multiplayer games, such as Zynga's CSR Racing. Overall, games will look better and play faster.\nManagement estimates that investments in international growth, cross-platform play, launching hyper-casual games, and mobile advertising put the company's long-term addressable market at $240 billion. Zynga generated just $2.5 billion in revenue over the last four quarters, with second-quarter bookings up a robust 37% year over year.\nHowever, market participants are concerned about slowing growth in the near term, as Zynga numbers come up against high growth during the earlier days of the pandemic. As a result, the stock is down about 31% over the last few months. Given that mobile gaming is already the fastest-growing segment in the $175 billion video game industry, an investment in Zynga at the beginning of the 5G upgrade cycle could lead to stellar returns for investors over the next five years.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":159,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":867589502,"gmtCreate":1633301129249,"gmtModify":1633301129516,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/867589502","repostId":"1145081858","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145081858","pubTimestamp":1633271769,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1145081858?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-03 22:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Top Performing ETFs For September 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145081858","media":"The Street","summary":"Energy funds dominate as the cyclical reflation trade returns.","content":"<p>September will almost certainly be a month that most equity investors would soon forget.

Natural gas prices, in particular, have been taking off as some forecasters have begun predicting a cold snap for this winter. Crude oil prices are settled in around $75 a barrel today, but a spike towards $100, while unlikely, is still not out of the question.</p>\n<p>On the equity side, we've got all sorts of funds focused on specific areas of the energy space and the broad sector in general.

Shipping costs are likely to remain sky high and that could play into BDRY's hands, but expect a LOT of volatility in this fund for a while.</p>\n<p>Other ETFs worth noting:</p>\n<p>Uranium ETFs have taken advantage of soaring prices over the past two months.

The<b>Global X Uranium ETF (URA)</b>is the best-known name of the group, returning more than 13%, but the<b>North Shore Global Uranium Mining ETF (URNM)</b>, a fund that has been around for nearly 2 years but is comparatively smaller, was the bigger winner logging a 22% return.</p>\n<p>China ETFs have done poorly,but that didn't stop the<b>Global X MSCI China Utilities ETF (CHIU)</b>from logging a 10% gain.

Latch: Smart security</h2>\n<p>This smart lock manufacturer is taking the industry by storm with its software. With LatchOS, apartment managers can get a birds-eye view of all their apartments on <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> platform, making sure all of their tenants are safe and secure.

Additionally, when customers agree to use Latch, they sign six- to 10-year contracts to use LatchOS.

Since Latch customers sign agreements with Latch to use its products before the apartments are even built, it is crucial that Latch is in talks with apartment managers before the construction team breaks ground. That is why Latch has partnered with some of the largest apartment builders in the U.S., like <b>Brookfield</b> (NYSE:BAM) and <b>Avalon Bay</b> (NYSE:AVB).</p>\n<p>This company has only been operational since 2017, so there are plenty of risks with this business. The primary risk is that it is losing lots of cash.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Metric</th>\n   <th>Q3 2020</th>\n   <th>Q3 2021</th>\n   <th>Change</th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss</td>\n   <td>$15.9 million</td>\n   <td>$34.2 million</td>\n   <td>115%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss as a percentage of revenue</td>\n   <td>311.5%</td>\n   <td>305.7%</td>\n   <td>N/A</td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>The company is making most of its money today on its locks, which it sells at a loss. These losses are bad today, but Latch's profitability can improve. Latch has noted that the timeframe it takes from construction to a builder beginning their subscription services is 24 months. The contracts the company has seen could finally turn into reportable revenue within the next couple of years. Analysts see the potential as well with growth forecasts of nearly 50% for the next five years.</p>\n<p>Also, as its customers stay with the company longer and pay more in its subscription fees for the software -- which has gross margins of 90% -- the company's losses will likely improve to provide a pathway to profitability. This could be a multi-year effort, but if it can use its differentiated product and strong partnerships to attract customers and its high switching costs to retain them, Latch could give investors immense returns by 2035.</p>\n<h2>2. Lemonade: An insurance provider anyone can love</h2>\n<p>Lemonade is making insurance enjoyable. Whether applying for insurance or getting a claim, Lemonade's process is easy and hassle-free with its artificial intelligence (AI)-based bots that can approve applicants and claims in seconds. The company is also aligning its interest with its consumers: Lemonade charges a flat fee, and any money from leftover claims that went unpaid goes to charities that Lemonade customers choose. So far in 2021, Lemonade has donated over $2.2 million in unpaid claims on behalf of its customers.</p>\n<p>Lemonade's incentive alignment structure can hurt its bottom line, but it has resulted in amazing customer attraction. Lemonade has over 1.3 million customers, and it has been one of the fastest-growing insurance stocks ever.</p>\n<p>The company started in renters insurance, targeting young renters. However, just as its customers have moved on in life, Lemonade has expanded. Now it offers homeowners, pet, life, and even car insurance. Lemonade hopes to attract young customers with small offerings like renters and car insurance, then integrate them deeper into the ecosystem with its fast and delightful service.</p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n <tbody>\n  <tr>\n   <th>Metric</th>\n   <th>First Nine Months of 2020</th>\n   <th>First Nine Months of 2021</th>\n   <th>Change</th>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss</td>\n   <td>$88.4 million</td>\n   <td>$171.0 million</td>\n   <td>93.4%</td>\n  </tr>\n  <tr>\n   <td>Net loss as a percentage of revenue</td>\n   <td>119.6%</td>\n   <td>195.6%</td>\n   <td><p>N/A</p></td>\n  </tr>\n </tbody>\n</table>\n<p>This major uptick in net losses has primarily been because of the company's loss ratio. Lemonade's net loss ratio -- which represents the amount of premium paid out on claims -- was 77% in the third quarter. A ratio of 75% or below is the long-term goal that management is targeting, but it has been consistently higher in 2021 because of the new products that Lemonade has launched this year and in 2020.</p>\n<p>Lemonade's AI can often take time to learn and collect data about its new markets, resulting in poor short-term performance but long-term opportunities. As its AI obtains more data, it should become more accurate, lowering its loss ratio and its net loss. With the lowered loss ratio, investors could expect the company to generate a profit, which would provide optimism beyond its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts.</p>\n<p>Both of these companies are incredibly young and are quite risky today, which is clearly noted in the stock decreases of more than 25% for each year-to-date. But in a balanced portfolio, these stocks could define someone's future investing success. If both companies can use their competitive edges to rapidly grow their business over the next 15 years and become profitable, they could reward investors by 2035.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Want $1 Million in Retirement?

For example, investing $300 a month could grow into more than $1 million in 30 years if it can generate a 12% annual return. That's slightly better than the&nbsp;average stock market return&nbsp;over the last 50 years of nearly 11%.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Many companies have a long history of beating the market. Three companies that appear likely to continue doing so in the decades ahead are&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/BEP\"><b>Brookfield Renewable</b>&nbsp;</a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CCI\"><b>Crown Castle International</b>&nbsp;</a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NEE\"><b>NextEra Energy</b>&nbsp;</a>. Because of that, $100 invested in each one every month could grow into a $1 million nest egg by retirement.</p>\n<h2>Benefiting from a powerful megatrend</h2>\n<p>Brookfield Renewable has enriched its investors over the years. Since its inception, the&nbsp;renewable energy&nbsp;producer has generated an annualized total return of 19%. The company had done that by investing billions of dollars into expanding its renewable energy portfolio. That has powered more than 10% annual growth in its cash flow per share, supporting 6% annual dividend increases over the last decade. </p>\n<p>However, Brookfield's best days appear to lie ahead. The global economy needs to invest trillions of dollars to decarbonize the energy sector over the next 30 years. That should enable Brookfield to continue to invest in expanding its renewable energy portfolio.</p>\n<p>The company currently has 36 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy projects in development. That's bigger than the company's current operating portfolio of about 21 GW. Combined with rising power rates, and its growing scale, these projects should support up to 11% annual cash flow per share growth through at least 2026. </p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Brookfield sees up to another 9% yearly boost from future acquisitions. Add that growing renewable-powered cash flow stream to the company's 3%-yielding dividend, and Brookfield appears to have the power to produce double-digit annual returns for decades to come.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Connected to the data supercycle</h2>\n<p>Crown Castle has been an exceptional value creator over the years. The infrastructure-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) has delivered a more than 13% annual total return over the two-plus decades since its initial public offering. </p>\n<p>A major driver of those returns has been the billions of dollars the company has poured into expanding its communications infrastructure portfolio. Over the last decade alone, the REIT spent $31 billion on acquisitions and capital expenditures (capex), powering 9% annual dividend growth since 2014.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>\n<p>The company still sees significant investment opportunities ahead. Crown Castle noted that the telecom industry's rollout of&nbsp;5G networks&nbsp;represents a decade-long investment cycle. Meanwhile, some see a 100-year data infrastructure upgrade investment opportunity to support the digital economy. Because of that, Crown Castle has a lot of growth ahead of it, which should drive continued strong returns. </p>\n<p>Crown Castle expects to grow its 3.2%-yielding dividend at a 7% to 8% annual rate in the near term. That suggests the company could deliver double-digit total returns in the coming years.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Plugged into several growth catalysts</h2>\n<p>NextEra Energy has also created an enormous amount of wealth for its investors over the years. The&nbsp;utility&nbsp;has generated a roughly 700% total return over the last decade alone, crushing the 276% total return produced by the S&amp;P 500. Powering the company's robust results has been its ability to deliver above-average earnings and dividend growth. It has increased its earnings per share at an 8.7% compound annual rate since 2005, supporting 9.6% compound annual dividend growth. </p>\n<p>A major catalyst has been the company's leadership in renewable energy. It has grown into one of the world's largest wind and&nbsp;solar energy&nbsp;producers.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>That leadership should continue since it has one of the world's biggest backlogs of wind and solar energy development projects. In addition to tried-and-true technologies like wind and solar, NextEra is a leader in emerging technologies, including battery storage and green hydrogen. Meanwhile, it's&nbsp;tapping into other sources of growth&nbsp;like water infrastructure. Because of that, NextEra should have plenty of power to continue growing its earnings and dividend in the decades ahead.</p>\n<h2>Grow rich slowly</h2>\n<p>Compound interest can do wonders for your retirement.

For example, investing $300 a month could grow into more than $1 million in 30 years if it can generate a 12% annual return. That's slightly better than the average stock market return over the last 50 years of nearly 11%. \nMany companies have a long history of beating the market. Three companies that appear likely to continue doing so in the decades ahead are Brookfield Renewable , Crown Castle International , and NextEra Energy . Because of that, $100 invested in each one every month could grow into a $1 million nest egg by retirement.\nBenefiting from a powerful megatrend\nBrookfield Renewable has enriched its investors over the years. Since its inception, the renewable energy producer has generated an annualized total return of 19%. The company had done that by investing billions of dollars into expanding its renewable energy portfolio. That has powered more than 10% annual growth in its cash flow per share, supporting 6% annual dividend increases over the last decade. \nHowever, Brookfield's best days appear to lie ahead. The global economy needs to invest trillions of dollars to decarbonize the energy sector over the next 30 years. That should enable Brookfield to continue to invest in expanding its renewable energy portfolio.\nThe company currently has 36 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy projects in development. That's bigger than the company's current operating portfolio of about 21 GW. Combined with rising power rates, and its growing scale, these projects should support up to 11% annual cash flow per share growth through at least 2026. \nMeanwhile, Brookfield sees up to another 9% yearly boost from future acquisitions. Add that growing renewable-powered cash flow stream to the company's 3%-yielding dividend, and Brookfield appears to have the power to produce double-digit annual returns for decades to come. \nConnected to the data supercycle\nCrown Castle has been an exceptional value creator over the years. The infrastructure-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) has delivered a more than 13% annual total return over the two-plus decades since its initial public offering. \nA major driver of those returns has been the billions of dollars the company has poured into expanding its communications infrastructure portfolio. Over the last decade alone, the REIT spent $31 billion on acquisitions and capital expenditures (capex), powering 9% annual dividend growth since 2014.   \nThe company still sees significant investment opportunities ahead. Crown Castle noted that the telecom industry's rollout of 5G networks represents a decade-long investment cycle. Meanwhile, some see a 100-year data infrastructure upgrade investment opportunity to support the digital economy. Because of that, Crown Castle has a lot of growth ahead of it, which should drive continued strong returns. \nCrown Castle expects to grow its 3.2%-yielding dividend at a 7% to 8% annual rate in the near term. That suggests the company could deliver double-digit total returns in the coming years. \nPlugged into several growth catalysts\nNextEra Energy has also created an enormous amount of wealth for its investors over the years. The utility has generated a roughly 700% total return over the last decade alone, crushing the 276% total return produced by the S&P 500. Powering the company's robust results has been its ability to deliver above-average earnings and dividend growth. It has increased its earnings per share at an 8.7% compound annual rate since 2005, supporting 9.6% compound annual dividend growth. \nA major catalyst has been the company's leadership in renewable energy. It has grown into one of the world's largest wind and solar energy producers. \nThat leadership should continue since it has one of the world's biggest backlogs of wind and solar energy development projects. In addition to tried-and-true technologies like wind and solar, NextEra is a leader in emerging technologies, including battery storage and green hydrogen. Meanwhile, it's tapping into other sources of growth like water infrastructure. Because of that, NextEra should have plenty of power to continue growing its earnings and dividend in the decades ahead.\nGrow rich slowly\nCompound interest can do wonders for your retirement. Steadily investing a few hundred dollars each month into high-performing stocks can create an enormous amount of wealth. One of the keys to finding stocks that can deliver decades of strong returns is focusing on those benefiting from megatrends. Few are as big and enduring as renewable energy and data, making Brookfield Renewable, Crown Castle, and NextEra Energy stand out as stocks that could mint their share of millionaires in the decades ahead.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":121,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":872544451,"gmtCreate":1637552783564,"gmtModify":1637552783564,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/872544451","repostId":"1153786917","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1153786917","pubTimestamp":1637534687,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1153786917?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-22 06:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Best Buy, Zoom, Pinduoduo, Xpeng,Xiaomi,Meituan and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1153786917","media":"Barrons","summary":"The tail end of third-quarter earnings season will bring more results from major retailers next week","content":"<p>The tail end of third-quarter earnings season will bring more results from major retailers next week, just as shoppers prepare for Black Friday.

Revenue in the third quarter rose 15%, down from 37% growth in the same period a year ago.\nFor the fourth quarter, Amazon forecast sales between $130 billion and $140 billion, representing growth between 4% and 12%. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting revenue to rise 13.2% year-over-year to $142.1 billion.\nAmazon.com Inc on Thursday reported a slump in profit that it expects will continue through the holiday quarter, as higher wages and spending to attract workers diminish the company's windfall from online shopping.\nAfter a year of blockbuster results, the world's largest online retailer is facing a tougher outlook. In a tight labor market, it has boosted average U.S. warehouse pay to $18 per hour and marketed ever bigger signing bonuses to attract blue-collar staff it needs to keep its high-turnover operation humming.\nThe company meanwhile is contending with global supply chain disruptions. It has doubled its container processing ability, expanded its delivery service partner program and has ramped up its warehouse investments - all at a noteworthy cost.\nThe company said it expects operating profit for the current quarter to be between $0 and $3.0 billion, short of $6.9 billion Amazon posted the year prior. In the just-ended third quarter, net income fell by about 50% to $3.16 billion, a first since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.\nAndy Jassy, who took the helm of Amazon as CEO in July, said in a statement the company would incur several billion dollars of extra expenses in its consumer business to deal with higher shipping costs, increased wages and labor shortages.\nAmazon is \"doing whatever it takes to minimize the impact on customers and selling partners this holiday season,\" he said. \"It'll be expensive for us in the short term, but it's the right prioritization for our customers and partners.\"\nThe retailer has strived to prevent a repeat of the 2013 season when delays left some without presents on Christmas Day.\nRetailers are facing supply constraints on everything from toys and Nike sneakers to laptops, making it difficult for them to stock their shelves.\nSupply chain woes are also costing Apple Inc - $6 billion in sales during the company's fiscal fourth quarter according to results released on Thursday. Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook said that the impact will be even worse during the holiday sales quarter.\nSome analysts like Nicholas Hyett of Hargreaves Lansdown gave Amazon a pass, recognizing the company's track record of high spending to deliver for customers has paid off in the long run.\n\"Amazon has never been overly focused on the bottom line,\" Hyett said. \"That willingness to invest in what the group hopes will be long term success at the expense of short term profits is on display again in these results.\"\nLABOR SHORTAGE\nGuru Hariharan, a former Amazon manager who is now CEO of CommerceIQ, said out-of-stocks were at an all time high for the company.\n\"The online marketplace will need to continue to address fill rates to meet demand before the holiday shopping season,\" he said.\nAmazon CFO Brian Olsavsky said on a call with reporters that the labor shortage had been a challenge, leading to inconsistent staffing levels. Workers, not physical space, became its primary capacity constraint in the third quarter, he said.\nAnd that has had a ripple effect.\n\"Inventory placement is frequently redirected to fulfillment centers that have labor to receive this product, which results in less optimal placement, which leads to longer and more expensive transportation routes,\" he said.\nAmazon faced an extra $2 billion in costs from labor, inflation and operational disruptions, an amount that is supposed to rise to $4 billion in the current period, Olsavsky said.\nStaff are pushing for more, too. Around 2,000 workers in New York City petitioned this week for a vote on whether to make their warehouse the company's first unionized facility in the United States.\nTo juice sales, the company began encouraging customers to shop holiday deals as early as Oct. 4 this year. Still, consumers have begun returning to pre-pandemic shopping levels, spending more on travel and services, Olsavsky said.\nThe company forecast fourth-quarter sales to be between $130 billion and $140 billion. Analysts were expecting $142.05 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. It missed expectations for third-quarter sales as well, witnessing its slowest growth since the COVID-19 outbreak.\nAmazon's cloud computing division was a bright spot. Olsavsky said revenue growth re-accelerated for that business, and the company beat analysts' expectations with net sales of $16.1 billion in the quarter. Amazon Web Services has seen sales rise with demand for gaming and remote work during the pandemic.\nTotal net sales rose to $110.81 billion in the third quarter ended Sept. 30, from $96.15 billion, a year earlier.\nAnalysts had predicted $111.60 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":101,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":853720925,"gmtCreate":1634850982089,"gmtModify":1634850982331,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/853720925","repostId":"2177465199","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":88,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":867336137,"gmtCreate":1633214440869,"gmtModify":1633214441142,"author":{"id":"3586514899418238","authorId":"3586514899418238","name":"Khoo18","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a895cde27a6f60014dacbbc8853a5e1e","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like&nbsp;","listText":"Like&nbsp;","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/867336137","repostId":"2172964582","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2172964582","pubTimestamp":1633188780,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2172964582?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-10-02 23:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Q3 2021 Vehicle Production & Deliveries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2172964582","media":"StreetInsider","summary":"AUSTIN, Texas---- In the third quarter, we produced approximately 238,000 vehicles and delivered over 240,000 vehicles.

This term catapulted into the mainstream in late October when the social media giant formerly known as Facebook announced it was changing its corporate name to Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) to reflect its focus on the metaverse.\nThe metaverse, which is essentially a melding of the physical and virtual worlds, is widely viewed as the next evolution of the internet. Market size projections for the metaverse vary widely, so suffice it to say this space is poised to be massive.\nLet's take a look at the Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF (NYSEMKT:META), the world's first metaverse exchange-traded fund (ETF). You might decide that one or more of this ETF's holdings are worth further exploration or that you want to buy the ETF itself.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Performance and the basics\nThis ETF only began trading on June 30, 2021, so it's too soon to make any judgments about its performance. That said, since its inception, it's down 2.1% through Dec. 16. This performance lags that of the broader market, as the S&P 500 index has returned 9.5% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has gained 4.7% over this period.\nThe Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF is an index fund that's designed to track the performance of the Ball Metaverse Index, which consists of a portfolio of worldwide companies involved in the metaverse. It had 40 holdings as of Dec. 16. The fund is rebalanced quarterly and has an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is moderately reasonable.\nThis ETF is far from a pure play on the metaverse, as its holdings are mostly huge companies that are involved in multiple businesses.\nRoundhill Ball Metaverse ETF: Top 10 stock holdings\n\n\n\nHolding No. \n Company\nMarket Cap \nWall Street's Projected Annualized EPS Growth Over Next 5 Years\nWeight (% of Portfolio)\nYTD 2021 Return \n\n\n\n\n\n1\nNvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)\n$710 billion\n39.4%\n10.6%\n118%\n\n\n2\nRoblox (NYSE:RBLX)\n$55 billion\nN/A\n8.6%\nN/A*\n\n\n3\nMicrosoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)\n$2.4 trillion\n16.5%\n7.7%\n47.3%\n\n\n4\nMeta Platforms\n$932 billion\n21.4%\n6.6%\n22.6%\n\n\n5\nUnity Software (NYSE:U)\n$38 billion\nN/A\n4.9%\n(13%)\n\n\n6\nApple\n$2.8 trillion\n15.7%\n4.2%\n30.6%\n\n\n7\nAmazon.com\n$1.7 trillion\n36%\n4.2%\n3.7%\n\n\n8\nAutodesk\n$59 billion\n28.8%\n4.1%\n(11.7%)\n\n\n9\nQualcomm\n$200 billion\n25.6%\n3.9%\n19.1%\n\n\n10\nTencent Holdings\n$545 billion\n3.7%\n3.9%\n(20.8%)\n\n\nTotal Top 10\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n58.7%\nN/A\n\n\nN/A\nS&P 500 / Nasdaq Composite Indexes\nN/A\nN/A\nN/A\n26% / 17.8%\n\n\n\nData sources: Roundhill Ball Metaverse ETF, Yahoo!

The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.4% to 15,84.23.</p>\n<p>What's driving the market?</p>\n<p>It was an ugly day for stock investors during a thinly traded Black Friday session, which was susceptible to big swings on alarming news from public health officials who were assessing a new variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.</p>\n<p>Late in the session, the World Health Organization's technical advisory group assigned the B. 1.1.529 variant of the virus the Greek letter omicron and declared it a \"variant of concern,\" as it did with the delta variant.</p>\n<p>Fear of a new variant overshadowed the usual focus on U.S. Black Friday shopping day, which puts the focus on retailers as consumers shop for bargains.</p>\n<p>Particularly notable about the variant is the \"large number of mutations, some of which are concerning,\" the WHO group said in a statement. The mutations could make omicron more resistant to the current batch of vaccines.</p>\n<p>The discovery of the new COVID strain was announced on Friday by South Africa's health minister Joe Phaahla. He said scientists were concerned because of its high number of mutations and the dramatic surge in infections the country had seen over the past four or five days.</p>\n<p>\"The pandemic and COVID variants remain <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the biggest risks to markets, and are likely to continue to inject volatility over the next year(s),\" wrote Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer and chief market strategist at Truist Advisory Services, in a Friday note. \"It's hard to say at this point how lasting or impactful this latest variant will be for markets,\" the analyst wrote.</p>\n<p>The omicron strain has been detected in Botswana and in Hong Kong in travelers who had visited South Africa.</p>\n<p>\"The one bull in the China shop that could truly derail the global recovery has always been a new strain of Covid-19 that swept the world and caused the reimposition of mass social retractions,\" said Jeffrey Halley, senior market analyst, at OANDA, in a note. \"All we know so far is the B. 1.1.529 is heavily mutated but markets are taking no chances.\"</p>\n<p>\"Just when you thought Covid was being controlled in a holiday shortened week,\" said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research, in emailed comments.</p>\n<p>Trading around the Thanksgiving holiday is often associated with lower trading volumes as traders typically wait until Monday to return to work.

The CEA \"will continue to monitor the data as they come in,\" the office said.\nThe price rises also have had the disconcerting effect of outpacing wage increases that the Fed and White House hoped would flow to lower-paid workers in the hotel, restaurant and other industries hardest hit during the pandemic shutdowns last year and the cautious return to in-person services since then.\nOn a month-to-month basis inflation almost fully offset the strong wage increases seen in the leisure and hospitality industry in October, noted Nick Bunker, research director for North America at job site Indeed.\nOverall, real hourly wages fell 1.2% in October compared with the year before, with the nearly 5% wage gain of the past 12 months more than offset by the 6.2% rise in prices.\nThat continues reversing what had been a steady rise in workers' purchasing power since around 2013, with the benefits of low inflation boosting \"real\" wages after several years of stagnation following the 2007-2009 financial crisis and recession.\nThe Fed has said it is reluctant to raise interest rates until more people have returned to jobs after being sidelined during the pandemic, even if inflation runs above its formal 2% target \"for some time.\"\nThe jobs-first strategy is a change from the previous approach which tried to use higher unemployment as a way to keep prices under control - in effect imposing the cost of inflation-fighting onto those rendered jobless during economic slowdowns.\nThe Fed still hopes inflation will ease, over time, without the need to ratchet interest rates higher to cool the economy, and risk slowing or reversing job growth in the process.\nBut the longer inflation data run beyond expectations, the tougher that will be.\n\"With annual inflation now topping 6%, is this sufficient to force the Fed’s hand? This long, long transitory period has to heap pressure on the Fed,\" said Seema Shah, chief strategist at Principal Global Investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
