It downgraded Facebook to neutral from buy and left its price target at $381, or 6% above Friday's closing price.\nThe issue is that, while Facebook saw a large 47% jump in impression pricing in the second quarter, the number of ad units grew just 6% -- the slowest growth since the fourth quarter of 2017. Google hasn't had this problem, since it could replace COVID-19 pandemic-related search queries with travel searches. Since revenue growth is driven off impression growth, the Arrete analysts expect Facebook shares to trend sideways the rest of the year.\nThat problem of impressions won't last forever, the analysts added. They cited Facebook's growing presence on e-commerce, which should help boost time spent in 2022. Facebook Chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg, on the company's second-quarter earnings call, explained the company's desire to create more native commerce experiences across its apps.\n\"What we found is that when these ads link off site, you often land on a webpage that's not personalized or not optimized or where you have to re-enter your payment information, and that's not a good experience for people, and it doesn't lead to the best results for businesses either,\" said Zuckerberg.\nThe Arrete analysts said, on an enterprise value-to-Ebitda basis, Facebook is attractively valued, at just 12 times 2022 earnings, versus 26 times 2022 earnings for Twitter (TWTR) and 16 times for Alphabet.\nThe buzz\nThe Kansas City Fed announced the Jackson Hole event will be online only, rather than in person, a sign of the growing difficulties the U.S. is encountering from the delta strain of coronavirus.

Kroger announced a new $1 billion share buyback program in June. This means the company's board of directors is confident the supermarket chain will have plenty of free cash flow beyond what it will need to fund its planned digital transformation.\nHere's a set of estimates for earnings per share, with projected CAGR:\n\n\n\nCompany\nProjected EPS CAGR\nEst. net income -- 2020\nEst. net income -- 2021\nEst. net income -- 2022\nEst. net income -- 2023\nEst. net income -- 2024\nEst. net income -- 2025\n\n\nWalmart Inc.

Buffett is a believer, and when considering how much shopping habits have changed for non-food items, he may have picked another long-term winner.\nDon't miss: These stocks provide a better way to invest in the electric-vehicle revolution than the car makers themselves","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":478,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868316851,"gmtCreate":1632606823473,"gmtModify":1632654086208,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"h","listText":"h","text":"h","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868316851","repostId":"1155969586","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1155969586","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1632529960,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1155969586?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 08:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Costco is limiting how much toilet paper you can buy again","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1155969586","media":"CNN","summary":"New York (CNN Business)Costco is once again placing limits on purchases of toilet paper, paper towel","content":"<p>New York (CNN Business)Costco is once again placing limits on purchases of toilet paper, paper towels and cleaning supplies.</p>\n<p>The Delta variant continues to spread across the globe, sending demand for those items higher.

What are they doing for money? ","content":"<p>Almost one-third of all working-age men in America aren’t doing diddly-squat. They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!</p>\n<p>How do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.</p>\n<p>I’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.</p>\n<p>It’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.</p>\n<p>As a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/056158b8fa7157238c3d1521dd05c02e\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Economists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809084435ffdcbc0695311d158bb7a98\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Robinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly<b>-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy</b></p>\n<p>This one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.</p>\n<p><b>-Living off family members</b></p>\n<p>Just to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.</p>\n<p><b>-Illegal work</b></p>\n<p>Front and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019.

They don’t have a job, and they aren’t looking for one either. One-third of all working-age men. That’s almost 30 million people!\nHow do they live? What are they doing for money? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of our time.\nI’m certainly not the first person to make note of this shocking statistic. You’ve heard people bemoaning this \"labor participation rate,\" which is simply the number of working-age men (usually counted as ages 16 to 64) not working or not looking for work, as a percentage of the overall labor force.\nIt’s true that the pandemic, which of course produced a number of factors that made working more difficult never mind dangerous, pushed the labor participation rate to a record low. But the fact that millions of American males have not been working precedes COVID-19 by decades. In fact, the participation rate for men peaked at 87.4% in October 1949 and has been dropping steadily ever since. It now stands at 67.7%.\nAs a business journalist for a good portion of those 70-plus years, I’ve looked at thousands of charts and graphs in my life, and I have to say this one is as jaw dropping as it is vexing:\nChart of the U.S. labor force participation rate for men over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nEconomists, sociologists, politicians, and cable news pundits each have their pet factors to explain the groundswell of non-work. But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.\nI’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More\nThere’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy\nThis one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.\n-Living off family members\nJust to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.\n-Illegal work\nFront and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.\nWhat about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.\nORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts.

Mercury Research estimates that AMD's CPU market share reached a 14-year high in the second quarter of 2021, hitting 22.5%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. AMD has doubled&nbsp;its CPU market share at Intel's expense in the past two to three years, and it seems on its way to further improve its positioning thanks to an advanced manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>A stronger market share in the CPU space is going to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of AMD's biggest catalysts, as its computing and graphics business is still quite small compared to Intel's. Similarly, AMD's gains in the server processor market could add billions of dollars to its revenue in the future.</p>\n<p>Second, AMD is on track to take advantage of growing graphics card demand. Jon Peddie Research estimates&nbsp;that it holds 17% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market, with <b>Nvidia</b> controlling the rest. There is no doubt that Nvidia is the dominant graphics card provider, but AMD investors shouldn't forget that discrete GPU sales are expected&nbsp;to jump from $29 billion in 2020 to $44 billion in 2023.</p>\n<p>If AMD continues to hold even a 20% share of the discrete GPU market in the future, it could substantially increase its revenue.</p>\n<p>Third, AMD's dominant position in video gaming consoles adds yet another potent catalyst to the company's portfolio. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is winning big from the <b>Sony</b> PlayStation 5 and the latest <b>Microsoft</b> Xbox consoles, which use its semi-custom chips.</p>\n<p>The EESC business is built for long-term growth as well, as the new console generation is still in its early phases. According to third-party estimates, the PS5 could clock&nbsp;67 million units in annual sales by 2024, which would be a huge jump over the 4.5 million units&nbsp;sold last year. Throw in the fact that AMD has won the contract to supply chips for an upcoming handheld gaming console that could turn out to be a big success, and it's easy to see why AMD's EESC business will keep firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<p>Given all these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see that AMD expects revenue to jump&nbsp;60% in 2021. Even better, analysts believe that the company's robust growth is here to stay for the long run, as AMD's earnings are expected to grow at an annual pace of over 32% for the next five years. As such, AMD looks all set to sustain its recent rally thanks to multiple growth drivers.</p>\n<h2>The case for Micron</h2>\n<p>Micron shares have tumbled over the past few months despite the absence of any visible signs of weakness in the company's business. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 36% year over year to $7.42 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped to $1.88 per share from $0.82 per share in the year-ago quarter. The strong memory pricing environment sent Micron's operating income to 31.9% during the quarter from 18% in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>What's more, Micron's guidance suggests that it isn't going to run out of steam. The company expects $8.2 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and earnings of $2.30 per share, which would translate into 35% year-over-year revenue growth and a sharp jump from the prior-year period's earnings of $1.08 per share. It is surprising to see Micron shares taking a beating despite such outstanding numbers. But investors' trepidation seems justified, as drops in memory prices have historically been bad news for the company.</p>\n<p>However, the massive end-market demand for memory chips suggests that memory prices may continue to hold up. For instance, memory industry market research provider TrendForce estimates&nbsp;that robust demand from data center servers could push up server DRAM (dynamic random access memory) prices by 5% to 10% in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the server market is set up for long-term growth. Mordor Intelligence estimates&nbsp;a 12% annual increase in enterprise server spending through 2026 on account of the deployment of hyperscale data centers and increased server storage demand. A similar scenario is unfolding in the mobile DRAM market, where the deployment of 5G smartphones has led to a sharp increase in demand.</p>\n<p>Counterpoint Research estimates that mobile DRAM revenue increased 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to an increase in the average DRAM capacity per smartphone. As 5G smartphones are being equipped with more DRAM and are still in their early phases of growth, Micron should continue witnessing healthy demand from this market.</p>\n<p>With mobile and servers accounting for nearly three-fourths of the overall DRAM market, investors' fear of a drop-off in memory demand could remain unjustified. Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.</p>\n<p>In fact, analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>By now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.</p>\n<p>However, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading&nbsp;at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.</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>Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology</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\">\nBetter Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 22:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/17/better-buy-amd-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Five months ago, stock for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices.

A conference call with analysts is scheduled for the same day at 5 p.m. EDT.</p>\n<p>As I wrote in my&nbsp;earnings preview:\"Many investors will probably be approaching the report from the leader in connected home exercise with a fair dose of caution. The company faced some headwinds in the quarter, primarily related to its treadmill safety issues and recalls, and its lapping of a year-ago quarter that got a big boost from the pandemic.\"</p>\n<p>Wall Street is expecting quarterly revenue to grow a robust 52% year over year (and 41% organically) to $921.7 million. Analysts are also projecting an adjusted loss of $0.44 per share, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.27 in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>There are two topics that it would be helpful for investors to know more about, but it seems doubtful that any analyst will broach them on the earnings call.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0b7b5d75ca75f96347e275ddba3976bd\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1580\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>1. How many subscribers paused their subscription in the quarter?</b></p>\n<p>First, let's give credit where credit is due: Peloton provides a solid number of statistics regarding its subscribers and their use of the company's streamed content.</p>\n<p>It does a better job in this respect than, say, personalized online apparel retailer&nbsp;<b>Stitch Fix</b>. While the two companies operate in different industries within the&nbsp;consumer discretionary products&nbsp;sector, they both have a subscription-based business model. I've opined that Stitch Fix should provide a couple more key metrics, most notably a customer retention measure.</p>\n<p>That said, what I'd like to know (and I'm sure there are investors who would, too) is what percentage of Peloton's total connected-fitness subscribers paused their subscription at some point during the quarter? How long, on average, did they pause their subscriptions? And how do these numbers stack up to the same metrics in the year-ago period and last quarter?</p>\n<p>In its quarterly reports, Peloton provides its number of connected-fitness subscriptions and average monthly churn. However, these numbers don't take into account the users (or members, as Peloton calls them) who have paused their subscriptions. Members can pause their subscription for up to three months at a time.</p>\n<p>In other words, the number of connected-fitness subscribers that Peloton provides is almost surely overstating to some unknown degree the number of subscribers who are currently<i>paying</i>subscribers. In turn, this would likely understate the average monthly churn number for&nbsp;<i>paying</i>&nbsp;subscribers.</p>\n<p>To be clear: Peloton isn't doing anything wrong here. It makes sense to allow members to pause their subscriptions for a brief period while it still considers them subscribers because things come up: surgery, vacations, and so forth. But it would be helpful for investors to get some quantification around this pause option. How pause-related metrics are trending over time would probably be telling.</p>\n<p><b>2.

A conference call with analysts is scheduled for the same day at 5 p.m. EDT.\nAs I wrote in my earnings preview:\"Many investors will probably be approaching the report from the leader in connected home exercise with a fair dose of caution. The company faced some headwinds in the quarter, primarily related to its treadmill safety issues and recalls, and its lapping of a year-ago quarter that got a big boost from the pandemic.\"\nWall Street is expecting quarterly revenue to grow a robust 52% year over year (and 41% organically) to $921.7 million. Analysts are also projecting an adjusted loss of $0.44 per share, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.27 in the year-ago period.\nThere are two topics that it would be helpful for investors to know more about, but it seems doubtful that any analyst will broach them on the earnings call.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\n1. How many subscribers paused their subscription in the quarter?\nFirst, let's give credit where credit is due: Peloton provides a solid number of statistics regarding its subscribers and their use of the company's streamed content.\nIt does a better job in this respect than, say, personalized online apparel retailer Stitch Fix. While the two companies operate in different industries within the consumer discretionary products sector, they both have a subscription-based business model. I've opined that Stitch Fix should provide a couple more key metrics, most notably a customer retention measure.\nThat said, what I'd like to know (and I'm sure there are investors who would, too) is what percentage of Peloton's total connected-fitness subscribers paused their subscription at some point during the quarter? How long, on average, did they pause their subscriptions? And how do these numbers stack up to the same metrics in the year-ago period and last quarter?\nIn its quarterly reports, Peloton provides its number of connected-fitness subscriptions and average monthly churn. However, these numbers don't take into account the users (or members, as Peloton calls them) who have paused their subscriptions. Members can pause their subscription for up to three months at a time.\nIn other words, the number of connected-fitness subscribers that Peloton provides is almost surely overstating to some unknown degree the number of subscribers who are currentlypayingsubscribers. In turn, this would likely understate the average monthly churn number for paying subscribers.\nTo be clear: Peloton isn't doing anything wrong here. It makes sense to allow members to pause their subscriptions for a brief period while it still considers them subscribers because things come up: surgery, vacations, and so forth. But it would be helpful for investors to get some quantification around this pause option. How pause-related metrics are trending over time would probably be telling.\n2. What's your response to the allegation that the company improperly charged sales tax in three states?\nIf an analyst asks the above question, management will probably say something like, \"We don't comment on pending litigation.\" This is the standard response by companies to such questions.\nBut I think it would behoove Peloton to somehow address this topic because there's been a good amount of chatter about it in 2021 on sites such as Reddit. Consumer goods companies cannot afford to have disgruntled customers, as word of mouth is crucial for them. That's even more true in this age of social media.\nReuters' synopsis of the issue:\n\n Peloton Interactive Inc subscribers have filed a proposed class action lawsuit accusing the maker of at-home stationary bicycles of improperly charging sales tax on memberships in New York, Virginia and Massachusetts.In a complaint filed on Thursday night [Aug. 12] in federal court in Manhattan, Brandon Skillern and Ryan Corken said Peloton should have treated its $39-a-month \"All Access\" and $12.99-a-month digital memberships as tax-exempt \"digital goods\" in the three states. They said Peloton has refused to reimburse them for the 6.3% or 8.9% \"sales tax\" it had collected before Jan. 1, when it changed its taxation practices.

But beneath the surface, there’s an oddly compelling case for the business and the stock.</p>\n<p>Palantir (ticker: PLTR) provides data analytics software to both commercial and government clients. The 18-year-old company has two primary platforms—Gotham, for government applications, and Foundry, for commercial customers. Palantir has a long history of serving U.S. military and intelligence agencies, but lately it’s&nbsp;been building out its sales team to bulk up its commercial business. That plan seems to be getting traction.</p>\n<p>Palantir went public in a direct listing last September, with the stock&nbsp;opening at $10. It’s since taken shareholders on a wild ride, trading as high as $45 earlier this year. It’s now around $25, still up 150% from listing day.</p>\n<p>In its&nbsp;recently reported June quarter, Palantir posted revenue of $376 million, up 49% from the year-earlier level. The company got a big boost from its U.S. commercial business, which grew 90%. Palantir sees September quarter revenue inching up to $385 million, and it continues to forecast annual top-line growth of 30%-plus through 2025.</p>\n<p>But the core story gets lost in the noise—Palantir seems to thrive on controversy. Almost everything it does is outside the box. Before last year’s stock listing, Palantir quietly moved its headquarters to Denver from Palo Alto. The reasoning boils down to politics.</p>\n<p>“When we started the company in 2004, the idea was to bring world-class software to our intelligence and military communities,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp&nbsp;told me in a June interview. “Numerous companies in Silicon Valley have refused either overtly, tacitly, or by dragging their feet, to work with the U.S. government. … I believe in general there’s a choice to be made in the world, and America has serious, rigorous, intelligent, and sometimes ruthless adversaries.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has also been doing unusual things with the $2.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet. The company is&nbsp;aggressively investing in PIPEs, or private investments in public equities, which are used in almost every SPAC merger to increase the capital raised. Palantir has&nbsp;committed $310 million across more than a dozen SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, according to its latest SEC filing. It’s completed $33 million of equity investments across three other companies.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The most recent tranche includes $20 million for Fast Radius, which offers a “cloud manufacturing platform;” $15 million for Tritium, a developer of electric vehicle chargers; $15 million for AdTheorent, which sells advertising software driven by machine learning; and $10 million for FinAccel, an Asian financial-services company.</p>\n<p>All the targets have signed up to be Palantir customers. As of June 30, Palantir said it had commercial contracts with its SPAC portfolio companies with a potential value of $428 million; the revenue contribution in the latest quarter was just $3 million, or less than 1% of the total.</p>\n<p>SPACs are a highly speculative place for a public company to be parking its cash. But I’d argue that Palantir’s decision to provide capital to new customers isn’t so different from offering vendor debt financing for hardware purchases—as&nbsp;IBM(IBM) and HP Enterprise (HPE) do—or from running robust venture capital programs, as do&nbsp;Intel(INTC) and&nbsp;Salesforce.com(CRM).</p>\n<p>Even so, it makes some analysts squeamish. “While we don’t oppose thinking outside the box, we think the strategy may have been taken too far, particularly with software contracts that appear to be negotiated alongside an investment by Palantir in the same customer,” Citi’s Tyler Radke wrote in a recent research note.</p>\n<p>The outside-the-box strategy goes beyond SPACs. This past week, Palantir disclosed that it had purchased $50.7 million worth of 100-ounce gold bars—a pretty strange move, even for Palantir. I ran a text search in the SEC’s database looking for references to gold bars, and found only references to other gold companies. The move makes&nbsp;Tesla’s(TSLA) Bitcoin purchases seem mundane.</p>\n<p>The fact that Palantir decided to buy physical gold, rather than, say, the&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares&nbsp;ETF (GLD), makes it odder still. Palatnir ends up looking like the corporate equivalent of a doomsday prepper. I tried to follow-up with Karp to ask about the sudden interest in gold, but Palantir declined to make him available.</p>\n<p>One analyst who follows the company told me that the SPAC program and the foray into gold make Palantir a hard sell for institutional investors. You can see that in the shareholder base. Institutions hold only 25% of Palantir shares—compared with&nbsp;Oracle’s(ORCL) 46%,Snowflake’s(SNOW) 58%, and&nbsp;Microsoft’s(MSFT) 71%.</p>\n<p>But the same analyst is still bullish on Palantir and says it offers “a very interesting set of solutions to buyers that require scale and sophistication.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has a fanatical following among individual investors, and the company is playing to its fans. During its June-quarter earnings call, Palantir took nine questions from retail investors and just four from analysts.</p>\n<p>On traditional metrics, Palantir isn’t cheap. The stock trades for 25 times estimated 2022 sales. But strip away the craziness, and Palantir looks like the single best bet on the future of complex data analytics.

The stock is up a market-beating 24% since we recommended it in March.\nBoth companies delivered better-than-expected first-quarter results in May, although Home Depot shares got a boost while Lowe’s stock slipped.\nFor the second quarter, analysts expect Home Depot to earn $4.43 a share from revenue of $40.57 billion, up from earnings of $3.86 a share in the prior quarter and $4.02 in the year-earlier period. For Lowe’s, the consensus calls for EPS of $4 and revenue of $26.79 billion, up from EPS of $3.21 in the previous quarter and $3.75 a year earlier.\nThe Street is upbeat about the home-improvement retailers in general. More than two-thirds of the 34 analysts tracked by FactSet who cover Home Depot rate it at Buy or the equivalent, while 29% are sidelined. There is one Sell rating.\nLowe’s is even more popular, with 79% of 33 analyst bullish, 18% rating it at Hold, and a single bearish call.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":154,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":897325953,"gmtCreate":1628893042772,"gmtModify":1631891622443,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"y","listText":"y","text":"y","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/897325953","repostId":"2159218437","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2159218437","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1628867760,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2159218437?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-13 23:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla's Berlin factory to fix 'logistical nightmare' for EV maker, Wedbush says","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2159218437","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"Tesla Inc.'s $$ Berlin factory being slated for production in the fall is \"a positive step on expanding Tesla's broader manufacturing capacity globally,\" Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in a note Friday.

But after digging down here, I’ve concluded there are many different forces at play. That’s what I want to explore today, which is: how men can live in America without working.</p>\n<p>I’m not talking about why men have lost their jobs — factories closing, layoffs, automation, outsourcing jobs overseas, even perhaps women entering the workforce, (in fact, the participation rate by women over the same time period is way up). What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.</p>\n<p>It’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.</p>\n<p>It’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.</p>\n<p>Still, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.</p>\n<p>To that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:</p>\n<p><b>-Unemployment insurance</b></p>\n<p>Let’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).</p>\n<p><b>-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits</b></p>\n<p>Admittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/53e26b293f8a939a54b78315c3375a18\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"467\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Volunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Paul Hennessy/NurPhoto via Getty Images)More</p>\n<p>There’s also disability insurance from the Social Security Administration that is beingpaid to some 9 million Americanswhomay receive payments many years before retirement age. That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.</p>\n<p>You argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.</p>\n<p><b>-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin</b></p>\n<p>Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.</p>\n<p>And according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.</p>\n<p>Next let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&amp;P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.</p>\n<p>Now crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/809084435ffdcbc0695311d158bb7a98\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Robinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly<b>-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy</b></p>\n<p>This one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.</p>\n<p><b>-Living off family members</b></p>\n<p>Just to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.</p>\n<p><b>-Illegal work</b></p>\n<p>Front and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.</p>\n<p>What about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3f8f4b3e6a5aa97a10f5c7bb22dec1d7\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">ORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More<b>-Living off the land</b></p>\n<p>This would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:</p>\n<p>“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”</p>\n<p>Ditto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:</p>\n<p>“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”</p>\n<p>As for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:</p>\n<p>“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.</p>\n<p>Ball says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.</p>\n<p>So there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.</p>\n<p>And some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.</p>\n<p>I would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.</p>\n<p>That example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0f197be5c6c11483ec906a1757293e4d\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"259\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Chart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve</p>\n<p>Of course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.</p>\n<p>It seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.</p>\n<p><b><i>This article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

What I want to get at is how they’re living without holding a \"real\" job, and by that I mean doing work where one reports income to the IRS, pays taxes and Social Security, etc.\nIt’s important to note that every man in this group has his own story. They range from mentally ill homeless men who desperately need our help, to the I’m-doing-just-fine-thank-you-very-much, retired early, and former Silicon Valley coder. And there are infinite scenarios in between those two extremes, including, for instance, the many men who have chosen to bestay-at-home dadswhile their spouses work.\nIt’s also the case that some men in this group may be unemployed and not seeking work because they’ve given up looking just for now — perhaps waiting for COVID to abate — and will start the search again soon. Here too, society needs to help.\nStill, none of this explains decade after decade of falling male employment.\nTo that end, here to my mind are seven ways men are living without working in America:\n-Unemployment insurance\nLet’s start with this one because it’s a hot button issue. Conservatives and some liberals too have made the claim that state unemployment aid, coupled with $600 a week from the CARES Act, which was rolled out in March 2020, have reduced men’s need to work. (There are actually a variety of social programs at play,spelled out nicely hereby think tank The Century Foundation, which estimates that overall these programs have pumped $800 billion in the economy.) We’ll be getting a good read on whether all this relief did suppress employment now that CARES aid ended for some 7.5 million Americans earlier this month. But as Yahoo Finance’s Denitsa Tsekova reportedhereandhere, states that ended federal aid programs early didn’t see big increases in employment. That may mean these payments really weren’t enough to live off, or not enough to live off by themselves, which speaks to men looking to a combination of sources, like under the table income or family support and possibly some savings (see below).\n-Early retirement, pensions, disability and lawsuits\nAdmittedly, this is a bit of a hodgepodge. And as is the case with many of these categories, hard data is tough to come by, but it is the case that millions of men under 64 are at least partly living off of pensions and 401(k)s. This would include everything from C-suite executives to union members. And don’t forget municipal workers, who make up almost 14% of the U.S. workforce. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are some 6,000 public sector retirement systems in the U.S.Collectively these plans have $4.5 trillion in assets,with 14.7 million working members and 11.2 million retirees. The plans distribute $323 billion in benefits annually, and again, some to men who are younger than 64. In fact in almost two-thirds of these plans,if you started working at 25, you max out at 57, a real inducement to stop working — at least at that job of course.\nVolunteers load cars with turkeys and other food assistance for laid off Walt Disney World cast members and others at a food distribution event on December 12, 2020 in Orlando, Florida.

That's why I am including disability here, but not plain vanilla Social Security, which you can’t receive until age 62. The maximum disability benefit amount you can receive each month is currently $3,148. (However, the average beneficiary receives about $1,277 per month, according to the law group Social Security Disability Advocates.) Overall, it looks like theSSA pays out some $130 billion in disability annually.That’s not nothing. Then there’s money paid out in medical malpractice each year, smaller true, but stillestimated to be in excess of $3 billion.And don't forgetpayments from legal settlements and class action lawsuits.\nYou argue all day about the right or wrong when it comes to these payouts, but the fact is many of them didn’t exist, or not at this magnitude, decades ago.\n-Savings, trading stocks, and bitcoin\nConsider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs. How many is it exactly? Who knows, but quite a few for sure. First off, Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income,according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City,hit a record high of 33% in the spring of 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly twice as high as it was prior to the pandemic.\nAnd according to arecent survey by Northwestern Mutual,average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last year, from $65,900 last year to $73,100. Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last year to $98,800 today. So there’s that.\nNext let’s look at investing — first stocks. It is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on March 12, 2020 — the day after the World Health Organization declared COVID a pandemic— to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That’s a huge gain. Much of the action of course has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males stuck at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks. Credit Suisse estimates that since the beginning of 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activityhas nearly doubledfrom between 15% and 18% to over 30%,” as CNBC reported. How many men were doing this and supporting themselves? Unclear, but upstart trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) — the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors — reported that it had22.5 million funded user accountslast month, up from 7.2 million in March of 2020. Let’s just say 15 million new accounts is quite a number.\nNow crypto. You can laugh all you want, but the simple fact is that theprice of bitcoinis up from $4,861 on March 12, 2000 to $47,763 today, or basically up 10X, (and remember it even hit $64,888.99 this spring). Back to Robinhood, which according to The New York Times, also reported last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233 million, a nearly 50-fold jump from $5 million a year earlier.” (And those are just fees off the trades, mind you.) Bottom line: Folks have made money here. (Of course these guys should be paying taxes on all those stock and crypto gains.)\nRobinhood Markets, Inc. CEO and co-founder Vlad Tenev and co-founder Baiju Bhatt pose with Robinhood signage on Wall Street after the company's IPO in New York City, U.S., July 29, 2021. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly-Working for cash, aka the under-the-table economy\nThis one is very tough to measure, too.A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louisestimates that the average size of the “informal economy” in developed countries is 13% of GDP. Honestly, that could be off by many percentage points, but just to give you a ballpark, GDP in the U.S. this year is about $22 trillion. So 13% of that is $2.86 trillion. As it turns out, $2 trillion-plus, is a number that has been thrown around quite a bit (hereandherefor instance) when it comes to estimating the size of the cash economy in the U.S. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1 trillion dollars being made by men in this country off the books. That’s a big chunk of change. Are more people than ever working for cash these days? Again, another question that’s impossible to answer. I would bet it’s not fewer. For example, my electrician Luis just told me he can’t get anyone to work for him anymore — they all want to get paid in cash.\n-Living off family members\nJust to take one facet,the Pew Research Center reportedlast year that the pandemic “has pushed millions of Americans, especially young adults, to move in with family members. The share of 18- to 29-year-olds living with their parents has become a majority since U.S. coronavirus cases began spreading [in early 2020], surpassing the previous peak during the Great Depression era. In July, 52% of young adults resided with one or both of their parents, up from 47% in February.” How many of these individuals are males living rent free (and sharing food too), which maybe means they don’t have to work? Who knows, but some. Ditto for males who have moved in with in-laws or siblings. And again, many men are choosing to stay home and take care of kids while their spouses work.\n-Illegal work\nFront and center here is selling illegal drugs. Sadly, business looks to be booming, that is if overdoses are any sort of measure.According to the Washington Post, overdose deaths hit 93,000 last year, up a stunning 30% from 2019. Most of the overdoses were attributed to opioids; heroin, synthetic opioids like OxyContin and in particular Fentanyl. (This despite drug dealers facingsupply chain issuesduring COVID.) How many Americans are in this business and who are they? A number is almost impossible to come by here, but as for who they are,a government report on drug trafficking arrestsfrom five years ago notes that ”the majority of drug trafficking offenders were male (84.9%), the average age of these offenders at sentencing was 36 years, 70% were United States citizens (although this rate varied substantially depending on the type of drug involved), and that almost half (49.4%) of drug traffickers had little or no prior criminal history.” How big a business is selling drugs in America? Could beas much as $100 billion.I think it’s fair to say that a market that size requires many thousands of employees.\nWhat about other types of crime and criminals, everything from robbers and thieves to prostitutes and pimps? To that point there aresome 2 million people incarcerated in the U.S.right now. (We have the highest absolute number and the highest per capita on the planet, and holdsome 25% of the world's total prisoners, according to the ACLU.) Being in prison is another way of living in America without working, I guess. But not counting those locked up, how many bad guys are out there on the street? Conservatively, it has to be thousands and thousands, and speaking to this story, they're all doing their thing and not participating in the labor force.\nORLEANS, MASSACHUSETTS - JULY 10: A man holds onto a clamming rake while clamming at low tide July 10, 2021 in Town Cove, Orleans, Massachusetts. He filled a bushel basket of cherry stone clams. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)More-Living off the land\nThis would include gardening, fishing, hunting, clamming, berrying, and just general foraging. The numbers here seem to be climbing. Here for instancefrom The Guardian:\n“Fishing and huntinglicense sales increased 10%in California during the pandemic, reversing years of decline. Clamming has grown in popularity for several reasons: people are looking for safe activities to do outdoors, but also some are clamming for subsistence and trying to get money from selling the shellfish (which is illegal without a commercial license).”\nDitto for Washington state, according to The Spokesman-Review:\n“From the start of the 2020 licensing year in May through Dec. 31, WDFW [Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife] sold nearly 45,000 more fishing licenses and 12,000 more hunting licenses than 2019. The number of new license holders — defined as someone who hadn’t purchased one for the previous five years — went up 16% for fishing licenses and almost 40% for hunters.”\nAs for growing vegetables in home gardens, yes, it is up, way up too. Even before the pandemic, there were estimates thata third of American families grew vegetables.Now this,NPRreported last year:\n“‘We're being flooded with vegetable orders,’ says George Ball, executive chairman of the Burpee Seed Company, based in Warminster, Penn.\nBall says he has noticed spikes in seed sales during bad times: the stock market crash of 1987, the dot com bubble burst of 2000, and he remembers the two oil crises of the 1970s from his childhood. But he says he has not seen a spike this large and widespread.\nSo there you have it. It’s a whole range of ways and means, behaviors and experiences. I’m sure I missed some, too. Again, some non-working men are in dire straits and need our help. Others are living non-working lives without burdening society or others, such as a fireman on early retirement (though some argue municipal employee pensions are too high), or an investor who made a ton of money in the market and called it quits, or maybe a wilderness guy living off the land in Alaska.\nAnd some non-working men are not playing fair. Like getting paid under the table, fudging insurance claims or social programs. Some freeload off relatives. And some engage in overtly illegal behavior like boosting branded goods from chain stores to sell online or dealing heroin.\nI would imagine that more than a few of these men create a portfolio of sources, though I’m not sure they really think of it that way. Take for example a hypothetical guy in a rural area who lives with his grandmother rent free, (he does help her with the garden some). This guy also does some cash carpentry work, hunts for game, gets some food off his ex-wife’s WIC and helps his brother sell some weed. Can you get by this way? Some men probably are. Is this the new American way? For some men it probably is.\nThat example perhaps, and to be sure of all of the above, I think go a long way toward explaining that chart from the beginning of the story, the one that shows the labor participation rate falling off a cliff over the past seven decades. And speaking of charts, another striking one came to mind when I was writing this, which I put here below. It shows U.S. GDP over the same time period as the labor participation rate.\nChart of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product over time, courtesy of the St. Louis Federal Reserve\nOf course, the line on this GDP chart is inversely correlated with the line on the labor participation graph. And I think there is a relationship between the two. Which is to say, the wealthier our nation has become over the decades, the less men are working. Fact is there is just a ton of money sloshing around in our country. And men seem to be able to get their hands on it, whether obtained legally, borrowed, leached off of or stolen.\nIt seems like working legally to provide for yourself in America is really just one option these days.\nThis article was featured in a Saturday edition of the Morning Brief on September 18, 2021.

Kroger announced a new $1 billion share buyback program in June. This means the company's board of directors is confident the supermarket chain will have plenty of free cash flow beyond what it will need to fund its planned digital transformation.\nHere's a set of estimates for earnings per share, with projected CAGR:\n\n\n\nCompany\nProjected EPS CAGR\nEst. net income -- 2020\nEst. net income -- 2021\nEst. net income -- 2022\nEst. net income -- 2023\nEst. net income -- 2024\nEst. net income -- 2025\n\n\nWalmart Inc.

Rival Walmart is expected to achieve a respectable EPS CAGR.\nSo a lot is riding on Kroger's big bet that people will increasingly shop for food online instead of walking the store aisles. Buffett is a believer, and when considering how much shopping habits have changed for non-food items, he may have picked another long-term winner.\nDon't miss: These stocks provide a better way to invest in the electric-vehicle revolution than the car makers themselves","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":478,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":877544568,"gmtCreate":1637962849814,"gmtModify":1637962849814,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"N","listText":"N","text":"N","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":11,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/877544568","repostId":"1119651099","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119651099","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1637939362,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119651099?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-11-26 23:09","market":"us","language":"en","title":"HubSpot gains after report Amazon internally pitched buying the company","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119651099","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"HubSpot once rose 2% on a report that Amazon internally discussed the idea of acquiring the company.","content":"<p>HubSpot&nbsp;once&nbsp;rose 2%&nbsp;on a report that Amazon&nbsp;internally discussed the idea of acquiring the company.</p>\n<p>The team that's in charge of AWS's marketing software Pinpoint pitched the idea of buying HubSpot, according to aBusiness Insider report.

But beneath the surface, there’s an oddly compelling case for the business and the stock.</p>\n<p>Palantir (ticker: PLTR) provides data analytics software to both commercial and government clients. The 18-year-old company has two primary platforms—Gotham, for government applications, and Foundry, for commercial customers. Palantir has a long history of serving U.S. military and intelligence agencies, but lately it’s&nbsp;been building out its sales team to bulk up its commercial business. That plan seems to be getting traction.</p>\n<p>Palantir went public in a direct listing last September, with the stock&nbsp;opening at $10. It’s since taken shareholders on a wild ride, trading as high as $45 earlier this year. It’s now around $25, still up 150% from listing day.</p>\n<p>In its&nbsp;recently reported June quarter, Palantir posted revenue of $376 million, up 49% from the year-earlier level. The company got a big boost from its U.S. commercial business, which grew 90%. Palantir sees September quarter revenue inching up to $385 million, and it continues to forecast annual top-line growth of 30%-plus through 2025.</p>\n<p>But the core story gets lost in the noise—Palantir seems to thrive on controversy. Almost everything it does is outside the box. Before last year’s stock listing, Palantir quietly moved its headquarters to Denver from Palo Alto. The reasoning boils down to politics.</p>\n<p>“When we started the company in 2004, the idea was to bring world-class software to our intelligence and military communities,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp&nbsp;told me in a June interview. “Numerous companies in Silicon Valley have refused either overtly, tacitly, or by dragging their feet, to work with the U.S. government. … I believe in general there’s a choice to be made in the world, and America has serious, rigorous, intelligent, and sometimes ruthless adversaries.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has also been doing unusual things with the $2.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet. The company is&nbsp;aggressively investing in PIPEs, or private investments in public equities, which are used in almost every SPAC merger to increase the capital raised. Palantir has&nbsp;committed $310 million across more than a dozen SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, according to its latest SEC filing. It’s completed $33 million of equity investments across three other companies.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>The most recent tranche includes $20 million for Fast Radius, which offers a “cloud manufacturing platform;” $15 million for Tritium, a developer of electric vehicle chargers; $15 million for AdTheorent, which sells advertising software driven by machine learning; and $10 million for FinAccel, an Asian financial-services company.</p>\n<p>All the targets have signed up to be Palantir customers. As of June 30, Palantir said it had commercial contracts with its SPAC portfolio companies with a potential value of $428 million; the revenue contribution in the latest quarter was just $3 million, or less than 1% of the total.</p>\n<p>SPACs are a highly speculative place for a public company to be parking its cash. But I’d argue that Palantir’s decision to provide capital to new customers isn’t so different from offering vendor debt financing for hardware purchases—as&nbsp;IBM(IBM) and HP Enterprise (HPE) do—or from running robust venture capital programs, as do&nbsp;Intel(INTC) and&nbsp;Salesforce.com(CRM).</p>\n<p>Even so, it makes some analysts squeamish. “While we don’t oppose thinking outside the box, we think the strategy may have been taken too far, particularly with software contracts that appear to be negotiated alongside an investment by Palantir in the same customer,” Citi’s Tyler Radke wrote in a recent research note.</p>\n<p>The outside-the-box strategy goes beyond SPACs. This past week, Palantir disclosed that it had purchased $50.7 million worth of 100-ounce gold bars—a pretty strange move, even for Palantir. I ran a text search in the SEC’s database looking for references to gold bars, and found only references to other gold companies. The move makes&nbsp;Tesla’s(TSLA) Bitcoin purchases seem mundane.</p>\n<p>The fact that Palantir decided to buy physical gold, rather than, say, the&nbsp;SPDR Gold Shares&nbsp;ETF (GLD), makes it odder still. Palatnir ends up looking like the corporate equivalent of a doomsday prepper. I tried to follow-up with Karp to ask about the sudden interest in gold, but Palantir declined to make him available.</p>\n<p>One analyst who follows the company told me that the SPAC program and the foray into gold make Palantir a hard sell for institutional investors. You can see that in the shareholder base. Institutions hold only 25% of Palantir shares—compared with&nbsp;Oracle’s(ORCL) 46%,Snowflake’s(SNOW) 58%, and&nbsp;Microsoft’s(MSFT) 71%.</p>\n<p>But the same analyst is still bullish on Palantir and says it offers “a very interesting set of solutions to buyers that require scale and sophistication.”</p>\n<p>Palantir has a fanatical following among individual investors, and the company is playing to its fans. During its June-quarter earnings call, Palantir took nine questions from retail investors and just four from analysts.</p>\n<p>On traditional metrics, Palantir isn’t cheap. The stock trades for 25 times estimated 2022 sales. But strip away the craziness, and Palantir looks like the single best bet on the future of complex data analytics. There aren’t many other ways for investors to play the opportunity—and the world isn’t getting any simpler or less dangerous.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Palantir Is an Enigma.

The reasoning boils down to politics.\n“When we started the company in 2004, the idea was to bring world-class software to our intelligence and military communities,” Palantir CEO Alex Karp told me in a June interview. “Numerous companies in Silicon Valley have refused either overtly, tacitly, or by dragging their feet, to work with the U.S. government. … I believe in general there’s a choice to be made in the world, and America has serious, rigorous, intelligent, and sometimes ruthless adversaries.”\nPalantir has also been doing unusual things with the $2.4 billion in cash on its balance sheet. The company is aggressively investing in PIPEs, or private investments in public equities, which are used in almost every SPAC merger to increase the capital raised. Palantir has committed $310 million across more than a dozen SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies, according to its latest SEC filing. It’s completed $33 million of equity investments across three other companies.\n\nThe most recent tranche includes $20 million for Fast Radius, which offers a “cloud manufacturing platform;” $15 million for Tritium, a developer of electric vehicle chargers; $15 million for AdTheorent, which sells advertising software driven by machine learning; and $10 million for FinAccel, an Asian financial-services company.\nAll the targets have signed up to be Palantir customers. As of June 30, Palantir said it had commercial contracts with its SPAC portfolio companies with a potential value of $428 million; the revenue contribution in the latest quarter was just $3 million, or less than 1% of the total.\nSPACs are a highly speculative place for a public company to be parking its cash. But I’d argue that Palantir’s decision to provide capital to new customers isn’t so different from offering vendor debt financing for hardware purchases—as IBM(IBM) and HP Enterprise (HPE) do—or from running robust venture capital programs, as do Intel(INTC) and Salesforce.com(CRM).\nEven so, it makes some analysts squeamish. “While we don’t oppose thinking outside the box, we think the strategy may have been taken too far, particularly with software contracts that appear to be negotiated alongside an investment by Palantir in the same customer,” Citi’s Tyler Radke wrote in a recent research note.\nThe outside-the-box strategy goes beyond SPACs. This past week, Palantir disclosed that it had purchased $50.7 million worth of 100-ounce gold bars—a pretty strange move, even for Palantir. I ran a text search in the SEC’s database looking for references to gold bars, and found only references to other gold companies. The move makes Tesla’s(TSLA) Bitcoin purchases seem mundane.\nThe fact that Palantir decided to buy physical gold, rather than, say, the SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), makes it odder still. Palatnir ends up looking like the corporate equivalent of a doomsday prepper. I tried to follow-up with Karp to ask about the sudden interest in gold, but Palantir declined to make him available.\nOne analyst who follows the company told me that the SPAC program and the foray into gold make Palantir a hard sell for institutional investors. You can see that in the shareholder base. Institutions hold only 25% of Palantir shares—compared with Oracle’s(ORCL) 46%,Snowflake’s(SNOW) 58%, and Microsoft’s(MSFT) 71%.\nBut the same analyst is still bullish on Palantir and says it offers “a very interesting set of solutions to buyers that require scale and sophistication.”\nPalantir has a fanatical following among individual investors, and the company is playing to its fans. During its June-quarter earnings call, Palantir took nine questions from retail investors and just four from analysts.\nOn traditional metrics, Palantir isn’t cheap. The stock trades for 25 times estimated 2022 sales. But strip away the craziness, and Palantir looks like the single best bet on the future of complex data analytics. There aren’t many other ways for investors to play the opportunity—and the world isn’t getting any simpler or less dangerous.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":109,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":839853271,"gmtCreate":1629151970393,"gmtModify":1631891622423,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"g","listText":"g","text":"g","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":9,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/839853271","repostId":"2159248377","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":189,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":814427615,"gmtCreate":1630880042637,"gmtModify":1631891622363,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"j","listText":"j","text":"j","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":9,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/814427615","repostId":"1196145266","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1196145266","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630682902,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1196145266?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-03 23:28","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Katapult stock pops after KeyBanc suggests potential for Amazon partnership","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1196145266","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Katapult Holdings(NASDAQ:KPLT)shares are up over 16% after a KeyBanc Capital Markets research notes ","content":"<ul>\n <li>Katapult Holdings(NASDAQ:KPLT)shares are up over 16% after a KeyBanc Capital Markets research notes suggests the potential for an Amazon(NASDAQ:AMZN)partnership in the future.</li>\n <li>Late last year, Affirm(NASDAQ:AFRM)announced the integration of Katapult into Affirm Connect, the application for customers who don't receive approval for Affirm payments.</li>\n <li>Earlier this week, Affirm announced a new partnership with Amazon that allows customers tomake monthly payments on purchases over $50.</li>\n <li>\"Although Amazon is not currently testing Affirm Connect, it may do so in the near future,\" writes KeyBanc analyst Bradley Thomas.</li>\n <li>The Affirm tie-in increases the likelihood that Katapult and other rent-to-own providers will get an opportunity for Amazon's business, says Thomas.</li>\n <li>Recent news: Last month, Katapult shares fell after the company reported asurprise second-quarter loss.</li>\n</ul>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

They can squirrel away money in their savings account, buy real estate, or purchase physical gold. But the method proven to deliver the highest average annual returns over the long run is putting your capital to work in the stock market.</p>\n<p>For example, despite navigating its way through the Black Monday crash in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus crash, the benchmark <b>S&amp;P 500</b> has averaged an annual total return, including dividends paid, of 11% since the beginning of 1980. At this return rate, folks reinvesting their dividends are doubling their money about every 6.5 years.</p>\n<p>But you don't have to settle for simply matching the performance of the market. If you buy stakes in game-changing businesses, you have the opportunity to take a large sum of money and turn it into a life-altering amount of cash. The following four game-changing stocks all have the tools necessary to turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million (or more) over the next decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F634606%2Fcash-money-one-hundred-dollars-pocketwatch-long-term-investing-getty.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Redfin</h2>\n<p>Whereas real estate is traditionally a slow-growing, if not boring, sector, technology-driven real estate company <b>Redfin</b> (NASDAQ:RDFN) is showing Wall Street that it has the ability to completely change how properties are purchased, sold, and viewed.</p>\n<p>One of the core attributes of the Redfin operating model is saving its users money. Traditional real estate companies charge up to a 3% commission/listing fee when a home is bought or sold. Depending on how much previous business was completed with the company, Redfin only charges a fee ranging from 1% to 1.5%. A difference of 1.5% to 2% might not sound like much, but it's quite impactful with home prices soaring. According to Realtor.com, the median home price for active listings in June 2021 was $385,000, meaning Redfin could save the median seller up to $7,700 in costs.</p>\n<p>But it's not just a more cost-efficient operation that's driving buyers and sellers to Redfin. It's the company's adaptation to a changing real estate landscape and the unparalleled personalization it provides. For instance, RedfinNow is a service that purchases homes for cash, which removes the hassles of putting a home on the market and haggling with prospective buyers over price. There's also Redfin Concierge, which works with homeowners on improvements and staging to maximize the value of their home.</p>\n<p>With Redfin's share of existing home sales nearly tripling from 0.44% at the end of 2015 to 1.14% by March 2021, it's pretty evident that Redfin's operating model is resonating with consumers.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F634606%2Fsquare-card-terminal.png&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>Just because a high-growth stock has a market cap in excess of $100 billion doesn't mean it can't quintuple (or more) over the next decade. Fintech stock <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) has two operating segments that should allow it to handily outperform the broader market in the coming 10 years.</p>\n<p>Square's bread and butter has long been its seller ecosystem, which provides point-of-sale devices, analytics, and other tools that help merchants succeed. Between 2012 and 2019, the gross payment volume (GPV) on Square's network surged by an average of 49% annually, with GPV on track to easily top $130 billion in 2021.</p>\n<p>As I've previously noted, the seller ecosystem was really designed to be a tool for smaller merchants. Over time, however, the percentage of medium-and-large-sized businesses utilizing the platform has grown. As of the end of March, 61% of GPV came from businesses with $125,000 or more in annualized GPV, up from 52% in Q1 2019. Since this is a fee-driven operating segment, it implies steady profit growth for the seller ecosystem.</p>\n<p>However, the real lure here is digital peer-to-peer platform Cash App, which has seen its monthly active user count more than quintuple in three years to 36 million (as of Dec. 31, 2020). Cash App allows Square to monetize consumer purchases, bank transfers, investments, and even <b>Bitcoin</b>&nbsp;exchange. With gross profit per user of $41, compared to less than $5 in expenses to bring in each new user, Cash App is a burgeoning cash cow for Square.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5fca19ebbe0e88c23fe3449884bad2c4\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Fastly</h2>\n<p>Yet another high-growth game-changer that could turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million or more over the next decade is edge cloud solutions provider <b>Fastly</b> (NYSE:FSLY).</p>\n<p>Fastly's primary task is to expedite the delivery of content to end users as quickly and securely as possible. While we we're witnessing a pretty steady shift of businesses pushing online prior to the pandemic, the coronavirus took this steady trend and kicked it into overdrive. Essentially, Fastly will benefit as more data is consumed digitally in the post-pandemic environment -- a trend that's unlikely to slow or ever reverse.</p>\n<p>All the key metrics investors would look for in a usage-based company are pointing in the right direction. The company's dollar-based net expansion rate has tallied 147% (Q3 2020), 143% (Q4 2020), and 139% (Q1 2021) in each of the past three quarters. In simple terms, this means existing clients spent 47%, 43%, and 39% more than they did in each respective year-ago quarter. We've also seen total customer count, enterprise customer count, and average enterprise customer spend, climb on a quarterly basis.</p>\n<p>What's perhaps most impressive about Fastly has been the company's ability to overcome ByteDance (the parent of TikTok) pulling traffic from its network in Q3 2020 due to a stateside spat with the Trump administration. ByteDance was Fastly's biggest customer by sales in the first-half of 2020. Despite this loss, Fastly still produced sales growth of better than 40% in the third quarter. Fastly is quickly becoming a popular content delivery solution, and the company's rapid sales growth proves it.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/72753f29fd92e186bec3ea1c1d331f6b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"510\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/CRM\">Salesforce</a></h2>\n<p>A final game-changing stock that has the ability to make its shareholder a whole lot richer over the next decade is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider <b>Salesforce.com</b> (NYSE:CRM).</p>\n<p>Put simply, CRM software is what customer-facing businesses use to log and access client information in real-time, handle service and product issues, manage online marketing campaigns, and run predictive analysis with regard to which clients might purchase a new product or service. That's just a small snippet of what CRM can help with. It's a relatively common solution employed by retail and service-oriented companies, but it is gaining traction in nontraditional industries and sectors.</p>\n<p>Salesforce chimes in as the single most-dominant player in the global CRM space.

They can squirrel away money in their savings account, buy real estate, or purchase physical gold. But the method proven to deliver the highest average annual returns over the long run is putting your capital to work in the stock market.\nFor example, despite navigating its way through the Black Monday crash in 1987, the dot-com bubble, the Great Recession, and the coronavirus crash, the benchmark S&P 500 has averaged an annual total return, including dividends paid, of 11% since the beginning of 1980. At this return rate, folks reinvesting their dividends are doubling their money about every 6.5 years.\nBut you don't have to settle for simply matching the performance of the market. If you buy stakes in game-changing businesses, you have the opportunity to take a large sum of money and turn it into a life-altering amount of cash. The following four game-changing stocks all have the tools necessary to turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million (or more) over the next decade.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nRedfin\nWhereas real estate is traditionally a slow-growing, if not boring, sector, technology-driven real estate company Redfin (NASDAQ:RDFN) is showing Wall Street that it has the ability to completely change how properties are purchased, sold, and viewed.\nOne of the core attributes of the Redfin operating model is saving its users money. Traditional real estate companies charge up to a 3% commission/listing fee when a home is bought or sold. Depending on how much previous business was completed with the company, Redfin only charges a fee ranging from 1% to 1.5%. A difference of 1.5% to 2% might not sound like much, but it's quite impactful with home prices soaring. According to Realtor.com, the median home price for active listings in June 2021 was $385,000, meaning Redfin could save the median seller up to $7,700 in costs.\nBut it's not just a more cost-efficient operation that's driving buyers and sellers to Redfin. It's the company's adaptation to a changing real estate landscape and the unparalleled personalization it provides. For instance, RedfinNow is a service that purchases homes for cash, which removes the hassles of putting a home on the market and haggling with prospective buyers over price. There's also Redfin Concierge, which works with homeowners on improvements and staging to maximize the value of their home.\nWith Redfin's share of existing home sales nearly tripling from 0.44% at the end of 2015 to 1.14% by March 2021, it's pretty evident that Redfin's operating model is resonating with consumers.\nImage source: Square.\nSquare\nJust because a high-growth stock has a market cap in excess of $100 billion doesn't mean it can't quintuple (or more) over the next decade. Fintech stock Square (NYSE:SQ) has two operating segments that should allow it to handily outperform the broader market in the coming 10 years.\nSquare's bread and butter has long been its seller ecosystem, which provides point-of-sale devices, analytics, and other tools that help merchants succeed. Between 2012 and 2019, the gross payment volume (GPV) on Square's network surged by an average of 49% annually, with GPV on track to easily top $130 billion in 2021.\nAs I've previously noted, the seller ecosystem was really designed to be a tool for smaller merchants. Over time, however, the percentage of medium-and-large-sized businesses utilizing the platform has grown. As of the end of March, 61% of GPV came from businesses with $125,000 or more in annualized GPV, up from 52% in Q1 2019. Since this is a fee-driven operating segment, it implies steady profit growth for the seller ecosystem.\nHowever, the real lure here is digital peer-to-peer platform Cash App, which has seen its monthly active user count more than quintuple in three years to 36 million (as of Dec. 31, 2020). Cash App allows Square to monetize consumer purchases, bank transfers, investments, and even Bitcoin exchange. With gross profit per user of $41, compared to less than $5 in expenses to bring in each new user, Cash App is a burgeoning cash cow for Square.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nFastly\nYet another high-growth game-changer that could turn a $200,000 investment into $1 million or more over the next decade is edge cloud solutions provider Fastly (NYSE:FSLY).\nFastly's primary task is to expedite the delivery of content to end users as quickly and securely as possible. While we we're witnessing a pretty steady shift of businesses pushing online prior to the pandemic, the coronavirus took this steady trend and kicked it into overdrive. Essentially, Fastly will benefit as more data is consumed digitally in the post-pandemic environment -- a trend that's unlikely to slow or ever reverse.\nAll the key metrics investors would look for in a usage-based company are pointing in the right direction. The company's dollar-based net expansion rate has tallied 147% (Q3 2020), 143% (Q4 2020), and 139% (Q1 2021) in each of the past three quarters. In simple terms, this means existing clients spent 47%, 43%, and 39% more than they did in each respective year-ago quarter. We've also seen total customer count, enterprise customer count, and average enterprise customer spend, climb on a quarterly basis.\nWhat's perhaps most impressive about Fastly has been the company's ability to overcome ByteDance (the parent of TikTok) pulling traffic from its network in Q3 2020 due to a stateside spat with the Trump administration. ByteDance was Fastly's biggest customer by sales in the first-half of 2020. Despite this loss, Fastly still produced sales growth of better than 40% in the third quarter. Fastly is quickly becoming a popular content delivery solution, and the company's rapid sales growth proves it.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce\nA final game-changing stock that has the ability to make its shareholder a whole lot richer over the next decade is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM).\nPut simply, CRM software is what customer-facing businesses use to log and access client information in real-time, handle service and product issues, manage online marketing campaigns, and run predictive analysis with regard to which clients might purchase a new product or service. That's just a small snippet of what CRM can help with. It's a relatively common solution employed by retail and service-oriented companies, but it is gaining traction in nontraditional industries and sectors.\nSalesforce chimes in as the single most-dominant player in the global CRM space. According to IDC, Salesforce controlled just shy of 20% of all global CRM spending in the first-half of 2020.  That was more than the next four competitors, combined. Between internal innovation and CEO Marc Benioff's willingness to lean on acquisitions as a means to cross-sell and broaden its service portfolio and client base, Salesforce's market share lead appears virtually insurmountable in CRM software.\nBenioff anticipates Salesforce surpassing $50 billion in full-year sales by fiscal 2026 after delivering $21.3 billion in annual sales in fiscal 2021. If this projection proves accurate, Salesforce's 20%-plus sustained growth rate should help motor its stock a lot higher.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":183,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898917966,"gmtCreate":1628468174955,"gmtModify":1631893513094,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"y","listText":"y","text":"y","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/898917966","repostId":"1136322726","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":115,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":884594871,"gmtCreate":1631915380393,"gmtModify":1632805437105,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"n","listText":"n","text":"n","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":3,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/884594871","repostId":"2168752097","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2168752097","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1631889000,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2168752097?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-17 22:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2168752097","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"You may be surprised at the winner of this comparison.","content":"<p>Five months ago, stock for <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMD\">AMD</a>) and <b>Micron Technology</b> (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices. Micron started the year on a positive note thanks to the terrific demand for memory chips, while AMD was struggling in the wake of the sell-off in tech stocks and market share gains clocked by <b>Intel</b>.</p>\n<p>But things have changed remarkably for the performance of the two stocks since then.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11d2f5d2fc8e48d2b56743df18cfbde4\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"449\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>AMD data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>AMD has regained its mojo thanks to consistently strong quarterly results and a solid outlook for 2021. Micron, on the other hand, has lost investor confidence due to concerns about the health of the memory market. That's not surprising -- investor sentiment in Micron stock is dictated by the booms and busts in the cyclical memory market, as I pointed out in April, while AMD is sitting on secular tailwinds that could ensure long-term growth.</p>\n<p>As a result, AMD looked like the better buy in April, and the stock's performance since then justifies that call. But with Micron now trading at a dirt-cheap valuation and the prospects of the memory market looking up, is it now a better bet over AMD? Let's find out if my investing advice has changed.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d37411519d470ff3c53a15776d3013c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>The case for Advanced Micro Devices</h2>\n<p>There are three reasons why AMD remains a stock worth buying even after its impressive rally over the past few months.</p>\n<p>First, the chipmaker continues to hurt Intel in the x86 CPU (central processing unit) market. Mercury Research estimates that AMD's CPU market share reached a 14-year high in the second quarter of 2021, hitting 22.5%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. AMD has doubled&nbsp;its CPU market share at Intel's expense in the past two to three years, and it seems on its way to further improve its positioning thanks to an advanced manufacturing process.</p>\n<p>A stronger market share in the CPU space is going to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of AMD's biggest catalysts, as its computing and graphics business is still quite small compared to Intel's. Similarly, AMD's gains in the server processor market could add billions of dollars to its revenue in the future.</p>\n<p>Second, AMD is on track to take advantage of growing graphics card demand. Jon Peddie Research estimates&nbsp;that it holds 17% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market, with <b>Nvidia</b> controlling the rest. There is no doubt that Nvidia is the dominant graphics card provider, but AMD investors shouldn't forget that discrete GPU sales are expected&nbsp;to jump from $29 billion in 2020 to $44 billion in 2023.</p>\n<p>If AMD continues to hold even a 20% share of the discrete GPU market in the future, it could substantially increase its revenue.</p>\n<p>Third, AMD's dominant position in video gaming consoles adds yet another potent catalyst to the company's portfolio. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is winning big from the <b>Sony</b> PlayStation 5 and the latest <b>Microsoft</b> Xbox consoles, which use its semi-custom chips.</p>\n<p>The EESC business is built for long-term growth as well, as the new console generation is still in its early phases. According to third-party estimates, the PS5 could clock&nbsp;67 million units in annual sales by 2024, which would be a huge jump over the 4.5 million units&nbsp;sold last year. Throw in the fact that AMD has won the contract to supply chips for an upcoming handheld gaming console that could turn out to be a big success, and it's easy to see why AMD's EESC business will keep firing on all cylinders.</p>\n<p>Given all these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see that AMD expects revenue to jump&nbsp;60% in 2021. Even better, analysts believe that the company's robust growth is here to stay for the long run, as AMD's earnings are expected to grow at an annual pace of over 32% for the next five years. As such, AMD looks all set to sustain its recent rally thanks to multiple growth drivers.</p>\n<h2>The case for Micron</h2>\n<p>Micron shares have tumbled over the past few months despite the absence of any visible signs of weakness in the company's business. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 36% year over year to $7.42 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped to $1.88 per share from $0.82 per share in the year-ago quarter. The strong memory pricing environment sent Micron's operating income to 31.9% during the quarter from 18% in the year-ago period.</p>\n<p>What's more, Micron's guidance suggests that it isn't going to run out of steam. The company expects $8.2 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and earnings of $2.30 per share, which would translate into 35% year-over-year revenue growth and a sharp jump from the prior-year period's earnings of $1.08 per share. It is surprising to see Micron shares taking a beating despite such outstanding numbers. But investors' trepidation seems justified, as drops in memory prices have historically been bad news for the company.</p>\n<p>However, the massive end-market demand for memory chips suggests that memory prices may continue to hold up. For instance, memory industry market research provider TrendForce estimates&nbsp;that robust demand from data center servers could push up server DRAM (dynamic random access memory) prices by 5% to 10% in the current quarter.</p>\n<p>More importantly, the server market is set up for long-term growth. Mordor Intelligence estimates&nbsp;a 12% annual increase in enterprise server spending through 2026 on account of the deployment of hyperscale data centers and increased server storage demand. A similar scenario is unfolding in the mobile DRAM market, where the deployment of 5G smartphones has led to a sharp increase in demand.</p>\n<p>Counterpoint Research estimates that mobile DRAM revenue increased 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to an increase in the average DRAM capacity per smartphone. As 5G smartphones are being equipped with more DRAM and are still in their early phases of growth, Micron should continue witnessing healthy demand from this market.</p>\n<p>With mobile and servers accounting for nearly three-fourths of the overall DRAM market, investors' fear of a drop-off in memory demand could remain unjustified. Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.</p>\n<p>In fact, analysts expect&nbsp;Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.</p>\n<h2>The verdict</h2>\n<p>By now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.</p>\n<p>However, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading&nbsp;at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.</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>Better Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology</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\">\nBetter Buy: AMD vs. Micron Technology\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-09-17 22:30 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/09/17/better-buy-amd-vs-micron-technology/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Five months ago, stock for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) were following different trajectories when it came to their prices.

Micron, on the other hand, has lost investor confidence due to concerns about the health of the memory market. That's not surprising -- investor sentiment in Micron stock is dictated by the booms and busts in the cyclical memory market, as I pointed out in April, while AMD is sitting on secular tailwinds that could ensure long-term growth.\nAs a result, AMD looked like the better buy in April, and the stock's performance since then justifies that call. But with Micron now trading at a dirt-cheap valuation and the prospects of the memory market looking up, is it now a better bet over AMD? Let's find out if my investing advice has changed.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nThe case for Advanced Micro Devices\nThere are three reasons why AMD remains a stock worth buying even after its impressive rally over the past few months.\nFirst, the chipmaker continues to hurt Intel in the x86 CPU (central processing unit) market. Mercury Research estimates that AMD's CPU market share reached a 14-year high in the second quarter of 2021, hitting 22.5%, an increase of 4.2 percentage points over the year-ago quarter. AMD has doubled its CPU market share at Intel's expense in the past two to three years, and it seems on its way to further improve its positioning thanks to an advanced manufacturing process.\nA stronger market share in the CPU space is going to be one of AMD's biggest catalysts, as its computing and graphics business is still quite small compared to Intel's. Similarly, AMD's gains in the server processor market could add billions of dollars to its revenue in the future.\nSecond, AMD is on track to take advantage of growing graphics card demand. Jon Peddie Research estimates that it holds 17% of the discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) market, with Nvidia controlling the rest. There is no doubt that Nvidia is the dominant graphics card provider, but AMD investors shouldn't forget that discrete GPU sales are expected to jump from $29 billion in 2020 to $44 billion in 2023.\nIf AMD continues to hold even a 20% share of the discrete GPU market in the future, it could substantially increase its revenue.\nThird, AMD's dominant position in video gaming consoles adds yet another potent catalyst to the company's portfolio. AMD's enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom (EESC) business is winning big from the Sony PlayStation 5 and the latest Microsoft Xbox consoles, which use its semi-custom chips.\nThe EESC business is built for long-term growth as well, as the new console generation is still in its early phases. According to third-party estimates, the PS5 could clock 67 million units in annual sales by 2024, which would be a huge jump over the 4.5 million units sold last year. Throw in the fact that AMD has won the contract to supply chips for an upcoming handheld gaming console that could turn out to be a big success, and it's easy to see why AMD's EESC business will keep firing on all cylinders.\nGiven all these tailwinds, it is not surprising to see that AMD expects revenue to jump 60% in 2021. Even better, analysts believe that the company's robust growth is here to stay for the long run, as AMD's earnings are expected to grow at an annual pace of over 32% for the next five years. As such, AMD looks all set to sustain its recent rally thanks to multiple growth drivers.\nThe case for Micron\nMicron shares have tumbled over the past few months despite the absence of any visible signs of weakness in the company's business. The company's third-quarter revenue increased 36% year over year to $7.42 billion, while adjusted earnings per share jumped to $1.88 per share from $0.82 per share in the year-ago quarter. The strong memory pricing environment sent Micron's operating income to 31.9% during the quarter from 18% in the year-ago period.\nWhat's more, Micron's guidance suggests that it isn't going to run out of steam. The company expects $8.2 billion in fiscal fourth-quarter revenue and earnings of $2.30 per share, which would translate into 35% year-over-year revenue growth and a sharp jump from the prior-year period's earnings of $1.08 per share. It is surprising to see Micron shares taking a beating despite such outstanding numbers. But investors' trepidation seems justified, as drops in memory prices have historically been bad news for the company.\nHowever, the massive end-market demand for memory chips suggests that memory prices may continue to hold up. For instance, memory industry market research provider TrendForce estimates that robust demand from data center servers could push up server DRAM (dynamic random access memory) prices by 5% to 10% in the current quarter.\nMore importantly, the server market is set up for long-term growth. Mordor Intelligence estimates a 12% annual increase in enterprise server spending through 2026 on account of the deployment of hyperscale data centers and increased server storage demand. A similar scenario is unfolding in the mobile DRAM market, where the deployment of 5G smartphones has led to a sharp increase in demand.\nCounterpoint Research estimates that mobile DRAM revenue increased 30% year over year in the first quarter of 2021 thanks to an increase in the average DRAM capacity per smartphone. As 5G smartphones are being equipped with more DRAM and are still in their early phases of growth, Micron should continue witnessing healthy demand from this market.\nWith mobile and servers accounting for nearly three-fourths of the overall DRAM market, investors' fear of a drop-off in memory demand could remain unjustified. Finally, the secular catalysts Micron stands to gain from could result in a massive acceleration in its revenue and earnings over the coming years, according to analysts' estimates.\nIn fact, analysts expect Micron's earnings to clock a compound annual growth rate of 58% for the next five years, which is substantially higher than what's expected from AMD.\nThe verdict\nBy now it should be evident that both Micron and AMD can continue to sustain their impressive growth in the future. As such, investors can't go too far wrong with either stock.\nHowever, those looking for a value play right now have a solid reason to buy Micron stock, as it is trading at just 20 times trailing earnings. The forward earnings multiple of just 7 makes it even more attractive when compared to AMD, which trades at a multiple of 35. So investors with a higher risk appetite can still go for AMD, as its premium seems justified, while those looking to buy a growth stock on the cheap should take a closer look at Micron Technology.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":197,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806522006,"gmtCreate":1627682384305,"gmtModify":1631893513112,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"yrs","listText":"yrs","text":"yrs","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/806522006","repostId":"2155015802","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2155015802","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1627655499,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2155015802?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-30 22:31","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How Synchronized Viewing Could Ruin Netflix Stock","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2155015802","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"A new form of streaming is gaining momentum -- and that's not good for the iconic content company.","content":"<p>The king of streaming services,&nbsp;<b>Netflix</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:NFLX), has been a top-performing tech stock over the past decade.

Of course, the practice doesn't affect hard-line Netflix subscribers, but it does offer an enticing alternative for those who don't use it quite as often and can just \"limp in\" once a week to a stream with friends. Companies like Amazon have already caught on to the practice and have features that only allow Prime Members to join in on watch parties. But like Netflix, Amazon doesn't have the ability to prevent streams on third-party software.</p>\n<h2>What's the verdict?&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>At this point, investors are still viewing Netflix stock as one that will achieve growth over an infinite horizon. It currently trades for 8.5 times sales and 53.4 times earnings. But be warned -- the widespread adoption of synchronized viewing has made it far more economical to cancel one's Netflix subscription and just watch the same content on the friend's stream. Until Netflix does something about the practice, such as lobbying politicians to update intellectual property laws (which would inevitably anger a lot of subscribers), investors should expect subscriber count in the U.S. and Canada to continue to decline or stagnate.&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>How Synchronized Viewing Could Ruin Netflix Stock</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHow Synchronized Viewing Could Ruin Netflix Stock\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-30 22:31 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/30/how-synchronized-viewing-can-ruin-netflix-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The king of streaming services, Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), has been a top-performing tech stock over the past decade.

I also believe that instantaneous settlement will eventually be possible, which could ameliorate capital requirements and improve market liquidity,” said Redfearn at the time.\nNow, in just four months since he assumed the role of Vice President of Capital Markets at Coinbase, Redfearn appears to have resigned.\nPrice Action:Coinbase shares were trading 5.16% lower, at $2650.47 at press time.\nShares of the crypto exchange moved in tandem with crypto markets that reached $1.9 trillion for the first time since prices crashed in May.\nAt press time, the market-leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin(CRYPTO: BTC) traded at $45,410, gaining as much as 17.84% over the past week.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":196,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":177058895,"gmtCreate":1627171369517,"gmtModify":1633767572763,"author":{"id":"3586834968608355","authorId":"3586834968608355","name":"Andrewkang","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c156835bf3f5665f5509ad93d83d1df2","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3586834968608355","authorIdStr":"3586834968608355"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"great","listText":"great","text":"great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/177058895","repostId":"1151500518","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1151500518","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627092269,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1151500518?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-24 10:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tencent was ordered to remove the exclusive copyright of online music","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1151500518","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to ","content":"<p>The China market supervision administration made an administrative punishment decision according to law, ordering Tencent and its affiliated companies to take measures to restore the state of market competition, such as canceling the exclusive music copyright within 30 days, stopping the payment of copyright fees such as high prepayment, and not requiring the upstream copyright party to give conditions superior to its competitors without justified reasons.

No need to remind anyone back then of droughts, wildfires, or Covid-19 surges that are unfortunate features of the steamy season this year.</p>\n<p>But the coming of August also means entering what historically has been the most treacherous stretch of the year for stocks, according to data going back to 1928 compiled by Bank of America analyst Stephen Suttmeier. He finds that theS&amp;P 500index had a negative return averaging 0.03% in August, September, and October—the worst three-month span of the year for the big-cap benchmark. In fact, they constitute the only three-month period that averages in the red.</p>\n<p>August actually is bracketed by the best and worst months of the year, he adds in a research note. July averages a 1.58% return on the S&amp;P 500, with positive results 59.1% of the time, while September averages a negative 1.03%, ending in the plus column less than half of the time, or 45%.</p>\n<p>This July did even better than the norm, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining 2.27%. It also was the sixth consecutive up month for the index—the longest positive streak since September 2018, according to Dow Jones’ statistical mavens. During that period, its cumulative advance was 18.34%.</p>\n<p>August’s record is in between, with an average 0.70% S&amp;P 500 return and positive results 58.1% of the time, marking a transition from the “summer rip” to the “fall dip.”</p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, the laggard returns of the August-October period are accompanied by an uptick in volatility, Suttmeier finds. Based on records going back to 1992, theCboe Volatility Index,or VIX, has often seen spikes during those months, following relatively subdued volatility in the April-July period.</p>\n<p>Past isn’t necessarily prologue, but if it is, the timing of the initial public offering byRobinhood Markets(ticker: HOOD) might prove propitious, if the stock market does have its typical seasonal rough patch. The online broker, whose putative mission is to open investing to novices supposedly ignored by established outfits, sold 55 million shares at $38 on Thursday. In the process, it provided a valuable lesson to all those who got in on the IPO: Buy low and sell high.</p>\n<p>The company evidently fulfilled the latter imperative, selling its shares high, even though they were priced at the low end of the expected $38-$42 range. Their price sank 8.4% on their first day of trading, although they recouped a bit on Friday. By week’s end, buyers of Robinhood’s IPO who held were down 7.5%.</p>\n<p>Among those who sold high were the company’s co-founders, CEO Vladimir Tenev and Chief Creative Officer Baiju Bhatt, who each offloaded 1.25 million shares in the IPO. As my illustrious predecessor, Alan Abelson, liked to observe, there are many good reasons to sell a stock, but expecting it to go up isn’t one of them. That has never been more true, given the ability of rich owners to monetize their assets by borrowing against them cheaply, and without incurring capital-gains taxes.</p>\n<p>To be sure, Tenev and Bhatt still have significant stakes in Robinhood. Asour colleague Avi Salzman reported, these were worth $2.5 billion at the initial offering price, and Tenev and Bhatt retain voting control. The two also could receive awards of shares worth as much as $6.7 billion for Tenev and $4 billion for Bhatt, if the stock hits $300, or nearly the proverbial ten-bagger from here.</p>\n<p>But in a blow against income inequality, the potential billionaire pair took symbolic pay cuts, to $34,248, the average annual wage of American workers. As the comedian Yakov Smirnoff likes to say, “What a country!”</p>\n<p>How those workers are faring will be a subject of the monthly employment report slated for release this coming Friday.</p>\n<p>Economists’ forecasts for nonfarm payrolls center around a gain of 900,000. Jefferies economists Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons estimate that the increase could top the long-anticipated one million mark; they forecast 1.2 million.</p>\n<p>Markowska and Simons think the expiration of supplemental unemployment benefits in some states will boost the labor supply, although that is a matter of significant debate.

During that period, its cumulative advance was 18.34%.\nAugust’s record is in between, with an average 0.70% S&P 500 return and positive results 58.1% of the time, marking a transition from the “summer rip” to the “fall dip.”\nNot surprisingly, the laggard returns of the August-October period are accompanied by an uptick in volatility, Suttmeier finds. Based on records going back to 1992, theCboe Volatility Index,or VIX, has often seen spikes during those months, following relatively subdued volatility in the April-July period.\nPast isn’t necessarily prologue, but if it is, the timing of the initial public offering byRobinhood Markets(ticker: HOOD) might prove propitious, if the stock market does have its typical seasonal rough patch. The online broker, whose putative mission is to open investing to novices supposedly ignored by established outfits, sold 55 million shares at $38 on Thursday. In the process, it provided a valuable lesson to all those who got in on the IPO: Buy low and sell high.\nThe company evidently fulfilled the latter imperative, selling its shares high, even though they were priced at the low end of the expected $38-$42 range. Their price sank 8.4% on their first day of trading, although they recouped a bit on Friday. By week’s end, buyers of Robinhood’s IPO who held were down 7.5%.\nAmong those who sold high were the company’s co-founders, CEO Vladimir Tenev and Chief Creative Officer Baiju Bhatt, who each offloaded 1.25 million shares in the IPO. As my illustrious predecessor, Alan Abelson, liked to observe, there are many good reasons to sell a stock, but expecting it to go up isn’t one of them. That has never been more true, given the ability of rich owners to monetize their assets by borrowing against them cheaply, and without incurring capital-gains taxes.\nTo be sure, Tenev and Bhatt still have significant stakes in Robinhood. Asour colleague Avi Salzman reported, these were worth $2.5 billion at the initial offering price, and Tenev and Bhatt retain voting control. The two also could receive awards of shares worth as much as $6.7 billion for Tenev and $4 billion for Bhatt, if the stock hits $300, or nearly the proverbial ten-bagger from here.\nBut in a blow against income inequality, the potential billionaire pair took symbolic pay cuts, to $34,248, the average annual wage of American workers. As the comedian Yakov Smirnoff likes to say, “What a country!”\nHow those workers are faring will be a subject of the monthly employment report slated for release this coming Friday.\nEconomists’ forecasts for nonfarm payrolls center around a gain of 900,000. Jefferies economists Aneta Markowska and Thomas Simons estimate that the increase could top the long-anticipated one million mark; they forecast 1.2 million.\nMarkowska and Simons think the expiration of supplemental unemployment benefits in some states will boost the labor supply, although that is a matter of significant debate.
