In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.</p>\n<p>Competitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.</p>\n<h3>Here's the bottom line</h3>\n<p>Real estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"<b>Amazon</b>\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is&nbsp;poised to be a big player&nbsp;in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day</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\">\nThis Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-29 09:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129129956","content_text":"Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.\n\n\nReal estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ:OPEN)has been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b>&nbsp;Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He&nbsp;attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.&nbsp;He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&amp;T Inc.'s</b>&nbsp;T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with&nbsp;<b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b>&nbsp;which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in&nbsp;sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b>&nbsp;in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&amp;T and&nbsp;<b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to&nbsp;<b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for&nbsp;<b>CompuServe</b>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<b>H&amp;R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with&nbsp;<b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit —&nbsp;except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”</p>\n<p>While Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom —&nbsp;which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country —&nbsp;announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a&nbsp;senior manager ordering&nbsp;a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The company’s chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project —&nbsp;and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named&nbsp;<b>Kim Amigh</b>in the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh —&nbsp;three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit&nbsp;<b>Cynthia Cooper</b>&nbsp;learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 —&nbsp;except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbers’ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000&nbsp;— and then borrowed again&nbsp;and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure&nbsp;later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Road’s End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”\nBut ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.\nA Man In Search Of Himself: Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'s T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with Long Distance Discount Services, which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\n“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.\nWithin 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.\nMany of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of Advanced Telecommunications Corporation in 1992.\nThe unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and Sprint Corporation,both considerably larger players in this field.\nThe one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for CompuServe from H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit — except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\n“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.\nAnd for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”\nWhile Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.\nIn retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.\nDetour Off The Cliff:The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom — which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country — announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier.

MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.\nWith the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.\nWorldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.\nThe company’s chief technical officer,Fred Briggs,then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project — and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.\nA WorldCom budget analyst named Kim Amighin the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh — three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.\nBut Vice President of Internal Audit Cynthia Cooper learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 — except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.\nCooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy.

Although its share price has fallen over 25% since going public in April, the business's growth is undeniable. Revenue in the second quarter topped $2 billion, more than 11 times what the company reported in the prior-year period.</p>\n<p>It might sound like I'm pitching Coinbase, but that's not the case. There are serious concerns investors need to think about if they're considering buying this stock, and it all hinges on the volatility of digital assets.</p>\n<p>Here's why Coinbase is in a difficult spot no matter what happens with cryptocurrency.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F640293%2Fcoinbase-7.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Image source: Coinbase.</p>\n<h2>If the volatility stays&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Everyone knows cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. <b>Bitcoin</b>, the&nbsp;largest&nbsp;cryptocurrency&nbsp;by&nbsp;market capitalization, has been on a roller-coaster ride this year. Its price soared more than 100% by mid-April, only to give up all of those gains just three months later. <b>Ethereum</b>, No. 2 by market cap, has&nbsp;experienced an even wilder&nbsp;ride&nbsp;in 2021.</p>\n<p>Huge day-to-day price swings are the norm, and for Coinbase, this has been a boon. The company's monthly transacting users grew from 1.5 million in the second quarter last year to 8.8 million in 2021. Additionally, trading volume has skyrocketed to almost half a trillion dollars.</p>\n<p>Coinbase's success is highly dependent on the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The company derives 95% of its revenue from transaction fees with both retail and institutional clients trading on its platform. While this has so far been lucrative, Coinbase has received criticism over its high fees, and there are many other cryptocurrency exchanges out there eagerly looking to fill users' needs.</p>\n<p>This makes me think of how companies like <b>Charles Schwab</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Robinhood</b> now offer zero-dollar stock trades. What happens to Coinbase's business if fees race toward zero as a result of increased competition? The company is thriving today, but the tiny services segment better start growing meaningfully if Coinbase wants to keep itself differentiated enough to achieve long-term success.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>And then there's the fact cryptocurrencies were never meant to be a speculative financial asset. One of the main goals of Bitcoin, for example, is to democratize finance, and increasing utility can only happen if volatility significantly drops, which would present yet another problem for Coinbase.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>If the volatility goes&nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Major investment banks like&nbsp;<b>Goldman Sachs</b> and&nbsp;<b>JPMorgan Chase</b> experience huge fluctuations in their trading divisions' performances each quarter. Unsurprisingly, when the stock market is hitting all-time highs and volatility is elevated, revenue gets a boost. This is largely unpredictable, and these financial institutions are successful long term, because they offer other value-added services.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>As previously mentioned, Coinbase needs to strengthen its non-transaction business and align itself for a situation where cryptocurrency utility rises.

(NASDAQ:COIN) has become a popular name among investors who want exposure to cryptocurrencies via the stock market. Although its share price has fallen over 25% since going public in April, the business's growth is undeniable. Revenue in the second quarter topped $2 billion, more than 11 times what the company reported in the prior-year period.\nIt might sound like I'm pitching Coinbase, but that's not the case. There are serious concerns investors need to think about if they're considering buying this stock, and it all hinges on the volatility of digital assets.\nHere's why Coinbase is in a difficult spot no matter what happens with cryptocurrency.\n\nImage source: Coinbase.\nIf the volatility stays \nEveryone knows cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has been on a roller-coaster ride this year. Its price soared more than 100% by mid-April, only to give up all of those gains just three months later. Ethereum, No. 2 by market cap, has experienced an even wilder ride in 2021.\nHuge day-to-day price swings are the norm, and for Coinbase, this has been a boon. The company's monthly transacting users grew from 1.5 million in the second quarter last year to 8.8 million in 2021. Additionally, trading volume has skyrocketed to almost half a trillion dollars.\nCoinbase's success is highly dependent on the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. The company derives 95% of its revenue from transaction fees with both retail and institutional clients trading on its platform. While this has so far been lucrative, Coinbase has received criticism over its high fees, and there are many other cryptocurrency exchanges out there eagerly looking to fill users' needs.\nThis makes me think of how companies like Charles Schwab and Robinhood now offer zero-dollar stock trades. What happens to Coinbase's business if fees race toward zero as a result of increased competition? The company is thriving today, but the tiny services segment better start growing meaningfully if Coinbase wants to keep itself differentiated enough to achieve long-term success. \nAnd then there's the fact cryptocurrencies were never meant to be a speculative financial asset. One of the main goals of Bitcoin, for example, is to democratize finance, and increasing utility can only happen if volatility significantly drops, which would present yet another problem for Coinbase. \nIf the volatility goes \nMajor investment banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase experience huge fluctuations in their trading divisions' performances each quarter. Unsurprisingly, when the stock market is hitting all-time highs and volatility is elevated, revenue gets a boost. This is largely unpredictable, and these financial institutions are successful long term, because they offer other value-added services. \nAs previously mentioned, Coinbase needs to strengthen its non-transaction business and align itself for a situation where cryptocurrency utility rises. And it can't just focus on clients' investment and speculative needs. In addition to hedging against the potential for wide fluctuations quarter to quarter, Coinbase must prepare for cryptocurrencies to eventually fulfill their purpose of going mainstream. For Bitcoin, this ultimately means being used as a medium of exchange. \nIf people start transacting with Bitcoin more in their daily financial lives, then its volatility must have fallen substantially. This is what many cryptocurrency enthusiasts are hoping for, and it would deal a direct blow to Coinbase's bread-and-butter trading business. A huge fintech player like PayPal, with its massive user base consisting of more than 400 million consumers and merchants, already lets people make purchases and check out with cryptocurrency. Can Coinbase shift from a facilitator of speculation to one of utility? I don't have the answer. \nCoinbase is clearly growing at the moment, but I remain bearish as the company faces some fundamental hurdles. If cryptocurrency volatility stays high, competing services can chip away at Coinbase's booming transaction revenue by reducing their fees. On the other hand, if cryptocurrencies, and mainly Bitcoin, see their volatility fall, Coinbase's profit machine is left for dead. \nThat's why I suggest staying away from the stock.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":391,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":834730311,"gmtCreate":1629830402733,"gmtModify":1633682156063,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087297072458000","idStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh yeah","listText":"Oh yeah","text":"Oh yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/834730311","repostId":"2161081224","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":167,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":835403778,"gmtCreate":1629729614294,"gmtModify":1633682864426,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087297072458000","idStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice&nbsp;","listText":"Nice&nbsp;","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/835403778","repostId":"1105547841","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105547841","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":1629726022,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105547841?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-23 21:40","market":"us","language":"en","title":"NVIDIA shares rose nearly 3% to a new high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105547841","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"NVIDIA shares rose nearly 3% to a new high in Monday morning trading.","content":"<p>NVIDIA shares rose nearly 3% to a new high&nbsp;in Monday morning trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8075cefb2210baeb244ede722b51d9bc\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

As of July 30,33.5% of its outstanding floatwere still sold short.</p>\n<p>Even after cratering following the bid loss, shares still trade at a valuation out of sync with its underlying assets. Yet there are many ways in this situation where the shorts could get squeezed, and those long WKHS stock could see massive gains. How?</p>\n<p>First, if it prevails in itsbid protest. The company is fighting the Postal Service decision to go with<b>Oshkosh’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>OSK</u></b>) candidate. Admittedly, its chances of getting another shot at the contract via this route may be slim. Mostly, because the independent government agency was given authority by the U.S. Congress tooperate outside typical federal procurement rules.</p>\n<p>Fortunately, there are other paths for shares to pop on a squeeze. For example, if itmakes more progress with its HorseFly drone technology. Or, if the continued push to go green results in a big-ticket order from the private sector. Given it has little in the form of assets or a profitable operating business to fall back on, this is still one of the riskier short-squeeze stocks. But it may not take much in the form of positive news to send it popping once again.</p>\n<p><b>SCWorx (WORX)</b><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7677167d504b288a23f3248ae0025b8f\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Late last month, WORX stock came on the radar of traders active online as apossible short-squeeze play. In fact, as seen from its performance so far in April, the heavily shorted microcap stock may have already experienced a brief squeeze. Between Aug. 2 and Aug. 6, shares in the healthcare company went from around $2.25 per share to as much as $5 per share.</p>\n<p>Since then, the frenzy has eased. SCWorx has given up some of its squeeze gains, and now changes hands for around $2.85 per share. So has its short-squeeze angle fully played out, or does it have a shot of going parabolic once more? Talk about it on Reddit’s<i>r/Shortsqueeze</i>subreddit has cooled. This may mean the army of traders targeting short-squeeze stocks set their sights elsewhere.</p>\n<p>Also, the hype surrounding its Covid-19 catalyst may have been overblown. SCWorxfailed to generate meaningful revenuefrom the sale of testing kits and personal protective equipment (PPE). The company, its officers, and directors are also facing a lawsuit. Why? Due to allegations the company made back in April 2020 relating to a supplier deal were misleading and inaccurate.</p>\n<ul>\n <li>7 Dividend Stocks to Avoid Until They Start to Shape Up Again</li>\n</ul>\n<p>On the other hand, given its high short interest, and its low liquidity despite a major market (<b>Nasdaq</b>&nbsp;exchange) listing?

But does XELA stock still have a shot of getting squeezed “to the moon” a second time? It’s possible, but will likely hinge on the company’s turnaround efforts playing out with minimal hiccups.</p>\n<p>The business process automation provider is trying to pivot from its legacy business model, which islow-margin and labor intensive, to one that’s more like that of a software-as-a-service provider. With new offerings like itse-signature platform DrySign, it may be on its way to achieving this goal.</p>\n<p>Sure, the idea that this company will soon become more like<b>Adobe</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>ADBE</u></b>) or<b>Docusign</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>DOCU</u></b>) may be overstating things a bit. But as seen from its latest quarterly results, Exela has made progressimproving its margins, and lowering its net debt. It now projects 2021 revenues of between $1.25 billion and $1.39 billion, and adjusted EBITDA between $200 million and $236.3 million (assuming it hits the top end of its internal estimates).</p>\n<p>If it can meet or beat expectations? Thanks to its highly levered balance sheet, the underlying value of each share of XELA stock may have room to move substantially higher.

AsInvestorPlace’s Christopher MacDonald wrote Aug. 14, the merger vote(scheduled for Sept. 10)is less than a month away.\nWith something that could send it soaring (and the shorts scrambling) in a matter of weeks, now may be the time to snap up SPRT stock. Add in the possibility of the BTC continuing to increase in value, and this stock may soon have two factors helping it move higher.\nWEALTHY 26-YEAR-OLD INVESTING GURU: “I’M BETTING $100,000 ON BEHALF OF ALL AMERICANS”\nShort-Squeeze Stocks: Workhorse (WKHS)Source: Photo from WorkHorse.com\nConsidering that itlost outin its highlypublicized bid to win the U.S. Postal Service vehicle contract, it makes sense why the shorts continue to bet so heavily against Workhorse stock. As of July 30,33.5% of its outstanding floatwere still sold short.\nEven after cratering following the bid loss, shares still trade at a valuation out of sync with its underlying assets. Yet there are many ways in this situation where the shorts could get squeezed, and those long WKHS stock could see massive gains. How?\nFirst, if it prevails in itsbid protest. The company is fighting the Postal Service decision to go withOshkosh’s(NYSE:OSK) candidate. Admittedly, its chances of getting another shot at the contract via this route may be slim. Mostly, because the independent government agency was given authority by the U.S. Congress tooperate outside typical federal procurement rules.\nFortunately, there are other paths for shares to pop on a squeeze. For example, if itmakes more progress with its HorseFly drone technology. Or, if the continued push to go green results in a big-ticket order from the private sector. Given it has little in the form of assets or a profitable operating business to fall back on, this is still one of the riskier short-squeeze stocks. But it may not take much in the form of positive news to send it popping once again.\nSCWorx (WORX)Source: Shutterstock\nLate last month, WORX stock came on the radar of traders active online as apossible short-squeeze play. In fact, as seen from its performance so far in April, the heavily shorted microcap stock may have already experienced a brief squeeze. Between Aug. 2 and Aug. 6, shares in the healthcare company went from around $2.25 per share to as much as $5 per share.\nSince then, the frenzy has eased. SCWorx has given up some of its squeeze gains, and now changes hands for around $2.85 per share. So has its short-squeeze angle fully played out, or does it have a shot of going parabolic once more? Talk about it on Reddit’sr/Shortsqueezesubreddit has cooled. This may mean the army of traders targeting short-squeeze stocks set their sights elsewhere.\nAlso, the hype surrounding its Covid-19 catalyst may have been overblown. SCWorxfailed to generate meaningful revenuefrom the sale of testing kits and personal protective equipment (PPE). The company, its officers, and directors are also facing a lawsuit. Why? Due to allegations the company made back in April 2020 relating to a supplier deal were misleading and inaccurate.\n\n7 Dividend Stocks to Avoid Until They Start to Shape Up Again\n\nOn the other hand, given its high short interest, and its low liquidity despite a major market (Nasdaq exchange) listing? Renewed hype about it online may be enough to send it on another wild ride to higher prices.\nShort-Squeeze Stocks: Exela Technologies (XELA)Source: Shutterstock\nIt’s pulled back since its initial short squeeze last month. But does XELA stock still have a shot of getting squeezed “to the moon” a second time? It’s possible, but will likely hinge on the company’s turnaround efforts playing out with minimal hiccups.\nThe business process automation provider is trying to pivot from its legacy business model, which islow-margin and labor intensive, to one that’s more like that of a software-as-a-service provider. With new offerings like itse-signature platform DrySign, it may be on its way to achieving this goal.\nSure, the idea that this company will soon become more likeAdobe(NASDAQ:ADBE) orDocusign(NASDAQ:DOCU) may be overstating things a bit. But as seen from its latest quarterly results, Exela has made progressimproving its margins, and lowering its net debt. It now projects 2021 revenues of between $1.25 billion and $1.39 billion, and adjusted EBITDA between $200 million and $236.3 million (assuming it hits the top end of its internal estimates).\nIf it can meet or beat expectations? Thanks to its highly levered balance sheet, the underlying value of each share of XELA stock may have room to move substantially higher. As hype surrounding it continues to taper off, this may be one of the top short-squeeze stocks to buy today.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":549,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":831182902,"gmtCreate":1629295185606,"gmtModify":1633685905768,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087297072458000","idStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/831182902","repostId":"1161828140","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":134,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":833873029,"gmtCreate":1629223480961,"gmtModify":1633686448105,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4087297072458000","idStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👍","listText":"👍","text":"👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/833873029","repostId":"2160320769","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2160320769","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1629214206,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2160320769?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-17 23:30","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Could AMC Help You Become a Millionaire by 2030?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2160320769","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"AMC Entertainment has made investors money, but can it turn small investors into millionaires?","content":"<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AMC\">AMC Entertainment</a> </b>(NYSE:AMC) captured the attention of retail traders earlier this year when it caught a meme stock wave and shot up from a low of just under $2 per share in January to a high of about $72 per share in May.

To get through this challenging time, it resorted to a massive share issuance. At the end of June 2020, shares outstanding stood at just above 104 million. Today, the company has 513 million shares available to trade.

Fortunately for AMC, a recent agreement with <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/T\">AT&amp;T Inc</a>'s Warner Bros. to give theaters 45 days of exclusivity on new releases beginning in 2022 could help mitigate that issue.</p>\n<h2>AMC by the numbers</h2>\n<p>Still, the pandemic continued to have lingering effects on revenue for the first two quarters of the year. AMC's revenue over six months, which came in at $593 million, fell 38% compared with the first six months of 2020. Nonetheless, with 62% lower operating costs during that period, the company cut its net loss by two-thirds during that period to $911 million.</p>\n<p>Additionally, the company reported a record $2 billion in liquidity.

However, while the company did not offer specific guidance, admission revenue has reached 57% so far in Q3, up from 18% in Q2. Also, the company forecasts positive theater-level cash flow by Q4.</p>\n<h2>Watch for sustainability</h2>\n<p>Nonetheless, even as the revenue gain points to a recovery in the business, investors have to wonder what comes next? The Reddit online investing-focused forum WallStreetBets has fostered discussion among a passionate group of AMC bulls. Their support of the stock helped to take it to record levels in May.

Suppose a trader was fortunate enough to buy 5,000 shares at $2 per share in January, creating a $10,000 initial position. That investor would need AMC to rise to at least $200 per share to manifest a $1 million position. Also, this scenario does not consider those who invest $10,000 in AMC today. They would need the share price to rise above $4,000 per share to reach millionaire status.</p>\n<p>On the outside chance that AMC stock could keep doubling in value four times in seven months, as it has since January, reaching a $1 million position by 2030 is a reachable feat for any investor. However, doubling values come much more easily at $2 per share than at $32 per share. Also, with the aforementioned business conditions working against AMC, it is difficult to envision how the company will derive the sustained revenue and earnings growth necessary to reach and maintain such growth levels.</p>\n<h2>Will AMC mint millionaires?</h2>\n<p>Few investors believed AMC would reach $72 per share early this year. Hence, with enough momentum, one cannot say that $200 per share or even $2,000 per share is impossible.</p>\n<p>However, the aftereffects of the 2020 shutdowns make reaching such share levels highly improbable. And even though AMC continues to recover, recovery does not equate to prosperity.

The widebodies included one KC-46 tanker to the U.S. Air Force and four freighters.\nAs well as aiming to raise 737 MAX deliveries, Boeing is also dealing with structural defects of its bigger, more profitable 787 planes, deliveries of which have been halted twice since 2020.

Awful’","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1186610229","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"A 21-year-old American said he used an unprotected router to access millions of customer records in ","content":"<p>A 21-year-old American said he used an unprotected router to access millions of customer records in the mobile carrier’s latest breach、</p>\n<p>The hacker who is taking responsibility for breaking into&nbsp;T-Mobile USInc.’s&nbsp;systems said the wireless company’s lax security eased his path into a cache of records with&nbsp;personal details on more than 50 million people&nbsp;and counting.</p>\n<p>John Binns, a 21-year-old American who moved to Turkey a few years ago, told The Wall Street Journal he was behind the security breach. Mr. Binns, who since 2017 has used several online aliases, communicated with the Journal in Telegram messages from an account that discussed details of the hack before they were widely known.</p>\n<p>The August intrusion was the latest in a string of high-profile breaches at U.S. companies that have allowed thieves to walk away with troves of personal details on consumers. A booming industry of cybersecurity consultants, software suppliers and incident-response teams have so far failed to turn the tide against hackers and identity thieves who fuel their businesses by tapping these deep reservoirs of stolen corporate data.</p>\n<p>The breach is the third major customer data leak that T-Mobile has disclosed in the past two years. The Bellevue, Wash., company is the&nbsp;second-largest U.S. mobile carrier&nbsp;with roughly 90 million cellphones connecting to its networks.</p>\n<p>The Seattle office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the T-Mobile hack, according to a person familiar with the matter. “The FBI is aware of the incident and does not have any additional information at this time,” the Seattle office said in a statement Wednesday.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/52595834917c106b9e64c6757672a073\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"222\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>The 21-year-old hacker shared a screenshot of internal T-Mobile servers with warnings against unauthorized access.</span></p>\n<p>In messages with the Journal, Mr. Binns said he managed to pierce T-Mobile’s defenses after discovering in July an unprotected router exposed on the internet. He said he had been scanning T-Mobile’s known internet addresses for weak spots using a simple tool available to the public.</p>\n<p>The young hacker said he did it to gain attention. “Generating noise was one goal,” he wrote. He declined to say whether he had sold any of the stolen data or whether he was paid to breach T-Mobile.</p>\n<p>Several cybersecurity experts said the public details of the hack and reports of previous T-Mobile breaches show the carrier’s defenses need improvement. Many of the records reported stolen were from prospective clients or former customers long gone. “That to me does not sound like good data management practices,” said Glenn Gerstell, a former general counsel for the National Security Agency.</p>\n<p>Mr. Binns said he used that entry point to hack into the cellphone carrier’s data center outside East Wenatchee, Wash., where stored credentials allowed him to access more than 100 servers.</p>\n<p>“I was panicking because I had access to something big,” he wrote. “Their security is awful.”</p>\n<p>He said it took about a week to burrow into the servers that contained personal data about the carrier’s tens of millions of former and current customers, adding that the hack lifted troves of data around Aug. 4.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1f12cc77e93062b84d63899c3aba29c3\" tg-width=\"1260\" tg-height=\"840\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>John Binns, who attended high school in northern Virginia, moved to Izmir, Turkey, with his Turkish mother when he was 18, a person familiar with the matter said.</span></p>\n<p>On Aug. 13, the security research firm Unit221B LLC reported to T-Mobile that an account&nbsp;was attempting to sell T-Mobile customer data, according to the security firm. Two days later, T-Mobile publicly acknowledged it was investigating a potential breach.</p>\n<p>T-Mobile confirmed that more than 50 million customer records have been stolen. The wireless carrier said it had repaired the security hole that enabled the breach. “We are confident that we have closed off the access and egress points the bad actor used in the attack,” it said in a statement. A T-Mobile spokeswoman declined to comment on specific claims by Mr. Binns or by cybersecurity experts.</p>\n<p>For Mr. Binns, who uses the online names IRDev and v0rtex, among others, the T-Mobile hack represents a major development in a track record that has featured various exploits and—four years ago—peripheral involvement in the&nbsp;creation of a massive network of hacked devices&nbsp;that was used for online attacks.</p>\n<p>Mr. Binns showed the Journal that he could access accounts linked to the IRDev online personality, which shared screenshots depicting access into T-Mobile’s network. He declined to be photographed but answered personal questions to confirm his identity as John Binns.</p>\n<p>In a statement, Unit221B said it believed the individual behind the IRDev alias was responsible for the T-Mobile hack because someone using this handle was reaching out to online criminals trying to sell the T-Mobile data before the hack had been made public.</p>\n<p>It’s unclear whether Mr. Binns worked alone. At one point in his communications with the Journal, he described a collaborative effort to find the login credentials needed to crack T-Mobile’s internal databases. Another online personality also offered in online forums to sell some of the stolen T-Mobile data.</p>\n<p>Mr. Binns said he grew up in northern Virginia with his Turkish mother. His father died in 2002 when Mr. Binns was two years old, according to a newspaper article and a published obituary.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9de292299785be2293778782a30e8477\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"346\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>John Binns shared tables of personal information that he said he found in the company’s internal systems.</span></p>\n<p>He attended McLean High School in 2015 and 2016, according to the school’s yearbooks. He was estranged from his father’s family and moved with his mother to Izmir, Turkey, shortly after his 18th birthday, according to a person familiar with the matter.</p>\n<p>He contacted a U.S. relative last year, claiming by telephone that he was a computer expert who had been kidnapped and taken to a hospital against his will, this person said. “He gushed about how he could do anything with a computer,” this person said.</p>\n<p>In Telegram messages with the Journal, Mr. Binns repeated similar claims. He said he wanted to draw attention to his perceived persecution by U.S. government authorities. He described an alleged incident in which he claims he was abducted in Germany and put into a fake mental hospital.</p>\n<p>“I have no reason to make up a fake kidnapping story and I’m hoping that someone within the FBI leaks information about that,” he wrote, explaining his reason for publicly discussing the hack.</p>\n<p>Mr. Binns’s mother didn’t respond to phone calls and messages seeking comment. After the Journal reached out to her for comment, she took down her public Facebook page.</p>\n<p>In 2020, Mr. Binns sued the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other federal agencies to compel them to fulfill a federal records request he made for information about FBI investigations of botnet attacks. He didn’t use an attorney to file the complaint in the case, which is still active in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The agencies have denied his allegations in past court filings.</p>\n<p>Security researchers said several online profiles tied to Mr. Binns were associated with groups of young gamers who&nbsp;have infected swarms of devices around the world. These botnets, as the infected device clusters are called, are often used by other gamers to knock people and websites offline.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/55d5c1539fe457d453648a4447b62d3b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"467\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>T-Mobile’s most recent breach is the third major customer-data leak that the company has disclosed in the past two years. A T-Mobile retail store in Arlington, Va.</span></p>\n<p>Mike Benjamin, vice president of security for network operator Lumen Technologies Inc., said U.S. prosecutions in past years have limited the threat from these botnets, though network attacks have started growing in recent months. He said many young people, especially in the U.S. and Europe, first learn basic hacking techniques by sharing tricks and tactics with fellow gamers online.</p>\n<p>“Online videogaming drives a natural competitiveness,” Mr. Benjamin said. ”Everybody’s looking for that edge. That can reach into this area of outside of the videogame,” where tactics end up “breaking the internet instead of just inside the rules of the game.”</p>\n<p>Mr. Binns told the Journal he first learned to find zero-days—previously undisclosed software flaws—by figuring out cheats for videogames such as “Minecraft,” “Arma” and “DayZ.” He said he found the zero-day that other hackers used to create Satori, a botnet-building virus that infects unprotected home routers, but denied writing any of the Satori code.</p>\n<p>“There are people who are way more skilled than I am,” he wrote.</p>\n<p>The August hack of T-Mobile stole an array of personal details from more than 54 million customers, according to the company’s latest tally. Some customers had their names, Social Security numbers and birth dates exposed. Another batch of data included IMEI and IMSI numbers tied to users’ phones, which other attackers could use as a starting point to take control of victims’ phone lines.</p>\n<p>T-Mobile last week started notifying affected customers. The company&nbsp;offered two years of identity-protection services&nbsp;and reminded customers to regularly update passwords and PIN codes as a standard precaution.</p>\n<p>The carrier has suffered other data breaches before. The company notified customers of two separate breaches in 2020 that affected smaller sets of records. The company this year hired McDonald’s Corp. executive Timothy Youngblood to oversee its cybersecurity measures. He succeeded longtime information security chief Bill Boni, who retired in June.</p>\n<p>The Federal Communications Commission said&nbsp;it has launched a probe into the latest failure.</p>\n<p>Past data-breach penalties have reached into the hundreds of millions of dollars.Equifax&nbsp;Inc.&nbsp;in 2019 reached a settlement with U.S. officials&nbsp;to resolve several investigations and lawsuits for $700 million. The credit-data provider generated $3.5 billion of revenue that year. T-Mobile had $68.4 billion of revenue in 2020.</p>\n<p>A 2020 merger with Sprint Corp. made T-Mobile the U.S.’s second-largest mobile service provider, trailing only&nbsp;Verizon Communications&nbsp;Inc.T-Mobile executives have said they intend to keep growing by luring subscribers away from the competition.</p>\n<p>“The upside for them from here is moving upmarket,” said New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin. “For the high-end customers that might’ve thought about moving over, this might be a signal that ‘Hey, T-Mobile isn’t Verizon yet.’ This is totally unquantifiable, but to the extent that there’s brand damage, that’s where it will be felt.”</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Mr. Binns, who since 2017 has used several online aliases, communicated with the Journal in Telegram messages from an account that discussed details of the hack before they were widely known.\nThe August intrusion was the latest in a string of high-profile breaches at U.S. companies that have allowed thieves to walk away with troves of personal details on consumers. A booming industry of cybersecurity consultants, software suppliers and incident-response teams have so far failed to turn the tide against hackers and identity thieves who fuel their businesses by tapping these deep reservoirs of stolen corporate data.\nThe breach is the third major customer data leak that T-Mobile has disclosed in the past two years. The Bellevue, Wash., company is the second-largest U.S. mobile carrier with roughly 90 million cellphones connecting to its networks.\nThe Seattle office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the T-Mobile hack, according to a person familiar with the matter. “The FBI is aware of the incident and does not have any additional information at this time,” the Seattle office said in a statement Wednesday.\nThe 21-year-old hacker shared a screenshot of internal T-Mobile servers with warnings against unauthorized access.\nIn messages with the Journal, Mr. Binns said he managed to pierce T-Mobile’s defenses after discovering in July an unprotected router exposed on the internet. He said he had been scanning T-Mobile’s known internet addresses for weak spots using a simple tool available to the public.\nThe young hacker said he did it to gain attention. “Generating noise was one goal,” he wrote. He declined to say whether he had sold any of the stolen data or whether he was paid to breach T-Mobile.\nSeveral cybersecurity experts said the public details of the hack and reports of previous T-Mobile breaches show the carrier’s defenses need improvement. Many of the records reported stolen were from prospective clients or former customers long gone. “That to me does not sound like good data management practices,” said Glenn Gerstell, a former general counsel for the National Security Agency.\nMr. Binns said he used that entry point to hack into the cellphone carrier’s data center outside East Wenatchee, Wash., where stored credentials allowed him to access more than 100 servers.\n“I was panicking because I had access to something big,” he wrote. “Their security is awful.”\nHe said it took about a week to burrow into the servers that contained personal data about the carrier’s tens of millions of former and current customers, adding that the hack lifted troves of data around Aug. 4.\nJohn Binns, who attended high school in northern Virginia, moved to Izmir, Turkey, with his Turkish mother when he was 18, a person familiar with the matter said.\nOn Aug. 13, the security research firm Unit221B LLC reported to T-Mobile that an account was attempting to sell T-Mobile customer data, according to the security firm. Two days later, T-Mobile publicly acknowledged it was investigating a potential breach.\nT-Mobile confirmed that more than 50 million customer records have been stolen. The wireless carrier said it had repaired the security hole that enabled the breach. “We are confident that we have closed off the access and egress points the bad actor used in the attack,” it said in a statement. A T-Mobile spokeswoman declined to comment on specific claims by Mr. Binns or by cybersecurity experts.\nFor Mr. Binns, who uses the online names IRDev and v0rtex, among others, the T-Mobile hack represents a major development in a track record that has featured various exploits and—four years ago—peripheral involvement in the creation of a massive network of hacked devices that was used for online attacks.\nMr. Binns showed the Journal that he could access accounts linked to the IRDev online personality, which shared screenshots depicting access into T-Mobile’s network. He declined to be photographed but answered personal questions to confirm his identity as John Binns.\nIn a statement, Unit221B said it believed the individual behind the IRDev alias was responsible for the T-Mobile hack because someone using this handle was reaching out to online criminals trying to sell the T-Mobile data before the hack had been made public.\nIt’s unclear whether Mr. Binns worked alone. At one point in his communications with the Journal, he described a collaborative effort to find the login credentials needed to crack T-Mobile’s internal databases. Another online personality also offered in online forums to sell some of the stolen T-Mobile data.\nMr. Binns said he grew up in northern Virginia with his Turkish mother. His father died in 2002 when Mr. Binns was two years old, according to a newspaper article and a published obituary.\nJohn Binns shared tables of personal information that he said he found in the company’s internal systems.\nHe attended McLean High School in 2015 and 2016, according to the school’s yearbooks. He was estranged from his father’s family and moved with his mother to Izmir, Turkey, shortly after his 18th birthday, according to a person familiar with the matter.\nHe contacted a U.S. relative last year, claiming by telephone that he was a computer expert who had been kidnapped and taken to a hospital against his will, this person said. “He gushed about how he could do anything with a computer,” this person said.\nIn Telegram messages with the Journal, Mr. Binns repeated similar claims. He said he wanted to draw attention to his perceived persecution by U.S. government authorities. He described an alleged incident in which he claims he was abducted in Germany and put into a fake mental hospital.\n“I have no reason to make up a fake kidnapping story and I’m hoping that someone within the FBI leaks information about that,” he wrote, explaining his reason for publicly discussing the hack.\nMr. Binns’s mother didn’t respond to phone calls and messages seeking comment. After the Journal reached out to her for comment, she took down her public Facebook page.\nIn 2020, Mr. Binns sued the Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation and other federal agencies to compel them to fulfill a federal records request he made for information about FBI investigations of botnet attacks. He didn’t use an attorney to file the complaint in the case, which is still active in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The agencies have denied his allegations in past court filings.\nSecurity researchers said several online profiles tied to Mr. Binns were associated with groups of young gamers who have infected swarms of devices around the world. These botnets, as the infected device clusters are called, are often used by other gamers to knock people and websites offline.\nT-Mobile’s most recent breach is the third major customer-data leak that the company has disclosed in the past two years. A T-Mobile retail store in Arlington, Va.\nMike Benjamin, vice president of security for network operator Lumen Technologies Inc., said U.S. prosecutions in past years have limited the threat from these botnets, though network attacks have started growing in recent months. He said many young people, especially in the U.S. and Europe, first learn basic hacking techniques by sharing tricks and tactics with fellow gamers online.\n“Online videogaming drives a natural competitiveness,” Mr. Benjamin said. ”Everybody’s looking for that edge. That can reach into this area of outside of the videogame,” where tactics end up “breaking the internet instead of just inside the rules of the game.”\nMr. Binns told the Journal he first learned to find zero-days—previously undisclosed software flaws—by figuring out cheats for videogames such as “Minecraft,” “Arma” and “DayZ.” He said he found the zero-day that other hackers used to create Satori, a botnet-building virus that infects unprotected home routers, but denied writing any of the Satori code.\n“There are people who are way more skilled than I am,” he wrote.\nThe August hack of T-Mobile stole an array of personal details from more than 54 million customers, according to the company’s latest tally. Some customers had their names, Social Security numbers and birth dates exposed. Another batch of data included IMEI and IMSI numbers tied to users’ phones, which other attackers could use as a starting point to take control of victims’ phone lines.\nT-Mobile last week started notifying affected customers. The company offered two years of identity-protection services and reminded customers to regularly update passwords and PIN codes as a standard precaution.\nThe carrier has suffered other data breaches before. The company notified customers of two separate breaches in 2020 that affected smaller sets of records. The company this year hired McDonald’s Corp. executive Timothy Youngblood to oversee its cybersecurity measures. He succeeded longtime information security chief Bill Boni, who retired in June.\nThe Federal Communications Commission said it has launched a probe into the latest failure.\nPast data-breach penalties have reached into the hundreds of millions of dollars.Equifax Inc. in 2019 reached a settlement with U.S. officials to resolve several investigations and lawsuits for $700 million. The credit-data provider generated $3.5 billion of revenue that year. T-Mobile had $68.4 billion of revenue in 2020.\nA 2020 merger with Sprint Corp. made T-Mobile the U.S.’s second-largest mobile service provider, trailing only Verizon Communications Inc.T-Mobile executives have said they intend to keep growing by luring subscribers away from the competition.\n“The upside for them from here is moving upmarket,” said New Street Research analyst Jonathan Chaplin. “For the high-end customers that might’ve thought about moving over, this might be a signal that ‘Hey, T-Mobile isn’t Verizon yet.’ This is totally unquantifiable, but to the extent that there’s brand damage, that’s where it will be felt.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":362,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":895034310,"gmtCreate":1628693402030,"gmtModify":1633745055402,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087297072458000","authorIdStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[Spurting]&nbsp;","listText":"[Spurting]&nbsp;","text":"[Spurting]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/895034310","repostId":"1141858457","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1141858457","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1628693066,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1141858457?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-11 22:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Disney Cancels Planned Scarlett Johansson Feature 'Tower Of Terror' In Wake Of Salary Dispute Lawsuit: Report","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1141858457","media":"Benzinga","summary":"The feud between Walt Disney Co and “Black Widow” star Scarlett Johansson has taken a new twist with","content":"<p>The feud between&nbsp;<b>Walt Disney Co</b>&nbsp;and “Black Widow” star&nbsp;<b>Scarlett Johansson</b>&nbsp;has taken a new twist with the studio reportedly canceling planned projects it previously announced with the two-time Oscar-nominated actress.</p>\n<p><b>What Happened:</b>According to a report on the entertainment siteGiantFreakinRobot.combased on information from “one of our trusted and proven inside sources,” Disney has dropped the “Tower of Terror” project that Johansson was scheduled to star in and produce through her&nbsp;<b>These Pictures</b>&nbsp;company.</p>\n<p>“Tower of Terror” is based on the popular Disney theme park ride.Colliderfirst reported the project had the greenlight in June, with “Toy Story 4” director&nbsp;<b>Josh Cooley</b>&nbsp;at work on a screenplay.

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”</p>\n<p><b>But ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.</b></p>\n<p><b>A Man In Search Of Himself:</b>&nbsp;Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.</p>\n<p>The Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He&nbsp;attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.</p>\n<p>Ebbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,<b>Linda Pigott,</b>after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.</p>\n<p>But Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.</p>\n<p>Ebbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric.&nbsp;He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.</p>\n<p><b>Calling Out Around The World:</b>Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup of<b>AT&amp;T Inc.'s</b>&nbsp;T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.</p>\n<p>In 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.</p>\n<p>Ebbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with&nbsp;<b>Long Distance Discount Services,</b>&nbsp;which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.</p>\n<p><b>Carl J. Aycock,</b>a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.</p>\n<p>“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.</p>\n<p>Maybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.</p>\n<p>Within 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in&nbsp;sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.</p>\n<p>Many of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of&nbsp;<b>Advanced Telecommunications Corporation</b>&nbsp;in 1992.</p>\n<p>The unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&amp;T and&nbsp;<b>Sprint Corporation,</b>both considerably larger players in this field.</p>\n<p>The one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to&nbsp;<b>Kristie Webb.</b></p>\n<p>In February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for&nbsp;<b>CompuServe</b>&nbsp;from&nbsp;<b>H&amp;R Block Inc</b>.</p>\n<p>This transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition to<b>America Online,</b>while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.</p>\n<p>In September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with&nbsp;<b>MCI Communications,</b>which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit —&nbsp;except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.</p>\n<p><b>A Little Out Of Touch:</b>One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.</p>\n<p>At the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.</p>\n<p>“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”</p>\n<p>But as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.</p>\n<p>And for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”</p>\n<p>While Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.</p>\n<p><b>In retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw</b>, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.</p>\n<p><b>Detour Off The Cliff:</b>The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom —&nbsp;which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country —&nbsp;announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.</p>\n<p>With the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.</p>\n<p>Worldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a&nbsp;senior manager ordering&nbsp;a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.</p>\n<p>The company’s chief technical officer,<b>Fred Briggs,</b>then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project —&nbsp;and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.</p>\n<p>A WorldCom budget analyst named&nbsp;<b>Kim Amigh</b>in the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh —&nbsp;three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.</p>\n<p>But Vice President of Internal Audit&nbsp;<b>Cynthia Cooper</b>&nbsp;learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 —&nbsp;except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.</p>\n<p>Cooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t define when pressed by Cooper.</p>\n<p>And Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.</p>\n<p>Adding to this chaos were Ebbers’ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.</p>\n<p>To alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000&nbsp;— and then borrowed again&nbsp;and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.</p>\n<p>In June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure&nbsp;later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.</p>\n<p><b>Road’s End:</b>The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.</p>\n<p>Ebbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.</p>\n<p>“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”</p>\n<p>Ebbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.</p>\n<p>He remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.</p>\n<p>After 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.</p>\n<p>In defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.</p>\n<p>Said Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He famously refused to communicate with his workforce via email. Even worse, he stood out thanks to a prickly personality that quickly seethed when confronted with unpleasant news. A 2002 profile in The Economist defined him as “parochial, stubborn, preoccupied with penny-pinching … a difficult man to work for.”\nBut ultimately, Ebbers stood out for being at the center of what was (at the time) the largest accounting fraud in U.S. history, which was followed by the harshest prison sentence ever imposed on a corporate executive for financial crimes.\nA Man In Search Of Himself: Bernard John Ebbers was born Aug. 27, 1941, in Edmonton, Alberta, the second of five children. His father John was a traveling salesman and his peripatetic profession brought the family down from Canada into California, where he jettisoned his sales work and became an auto mechanic. The family later relocated to Gallup, New Mexico, where Ebbers’ parents became teachers on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.\nThe Ebbers clan was back in Canada when Ebbers was a teenager and Bernie (as he was commonly known) came into adulthood unable to determine a course for his life. He attended Canada’s University of Alberta and Michigan’s Calvin College before accepting a basketball scholarship to Mississippi College. But he was the victim of a robbery prior to his senior year that left him seriously injured and switched his attention from playing to coaching the junior varsity team.\nEbbers graduated in 1967 majoring in physical education and minoring in secondary education. He supported himself during his college years by taking on a variety of odd jobs including a bouncer and milk delivery driver. He married his college sweetheart,Linda Pigott,after graduating and landed work teaching science to middle-school students while coaching high school basketball.\nBut Ebbers didn’t stay very long in the school system. When his wife received a job offer as a teacher in another Mississippi town, the couple relocated and he found work managing a garment factory warehouse. By 1974, he tired of working for others and responded to a newspaper advertisement seeking a buyer for a motel in Columbia, Mississippi.\nEbbers’ approach to running a hospitality establishment sometimes bordered on the eccentric. He would distribute bathroom towels at the front desk and require guests to return them to avoid being charged for taking them. Nonetheless, he found a niche in hospitality management and by the early 1980s he owned and operated eight motels within Mississippi and Texas; he also picked up a car dealership that also proved profitable.\nCalling Out Around The World:Ebbers might have remained in the Mississippi hospitality industry had it not been for the 1982 breakup ofAT&T Inc.'s T 0.41%monopoly on the U.S. telephone system. This created a seismic shift in the telecommunications world by enabling other companies to begin reselling long-distance telephone services.\nIn 1983, Ebbers and three friends met at a diner in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to consider the feasibility of pursuing this newly opened opportunity. Ebbers theorized that having control of his long-distance calling services could benefit his motel business. In the days before mobile phones, guests in lodging establishments in need of long-distance calling would either have to feed handfuls of quarters into payphones or make calls from their rooms, which usually came with extra fees.\nEbbers and his pals decided to get into the telecommunications business with Long Distance Discount Services, which they established in 1985 with headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, with Ebbers as CEO.\nCarl J. Aycock,a Mississippi financial advisor who was among the early investors in LDDS, would later laugh at the unlikelihood of Ebbers running a telecom company.\n“The only experience Bernie had before operating a long-distance company was he used the phone,” Aycock quipped in a 1997 interview.\nMaybe Ebbers did not possess an encyclopedic knowledge of telecommunications technology, but the good fortune he enjoyed in the motel business transitioned to this unlikely setting. Within four years of its launch, LDDS was being publicly traded.\nWithin 10 years of its opening, LDDS took on an almost Pac Man-style persona of gobbling up telecom firms in sight of the company, acquiring more than 60 different telecommunications company. By 1995, the company renamed itself LDDS WorldCom.\nMany of the company’s acquisitions were on the small side, and the company was never considered a major player in the telecom industry until its $720 million acquisition of Advanced Telecommunications Corporation in 1992.\nThe unlikely acquisition came with Ebbers’ ability to outbid industry titans AT&T and Sprint Corporation,both considerably larger players in this field.\nThe one unfortunate development during this time was the end of Ebbers’ marriage in 1997. He remarried in 1999 to Kristie Webb.\nIn February 1998, Ebbers’ company launched its acquisition plans for CompuServe from H&R Block Inc.\nThis transaction was followed by an astonishing spin of assets: LDDS sold the CompuServe Information Service portion of its acquisition toAmerica Online,while retaining the CompuServe Network Services portion of the business. AOL simultaneously sold LDDS WorldCom its networking division, Advanced Network Services.\nIn September 1998, LDDS WorldCom sealed a $37 billion union with MCI Communications,which created the largest corporate merger in U.S. history. The combined entity became MCI WorldCom, and for Ebbers it seemed that the sky was the limit — except that Ebbers’ ability to soar in the corporate skies resulted in an Icarus-worthy predicament.\nA Little Out Of Touch:One year after the CompuServe and MCI deals, Ebbers’ company boasted an 80,000-person workforce, a market capitalization of roughly $185 billion and its shares were trading at a peak of nearly $62.\nAt the peak of the company’s success, Ebbers granted an interview to The New York Times aboard his 130-yacht, which he berthed in the resort town of Hilton Head, South Carolina. He claimed that the secret of his success was “not as complicated as people make it out to be,” adding that he surrounded himself with experts who advised him on which moves to make.\n“I’m not an engineer by training,” he said. “I’m not an accountant by training. I’m the coach. I’m not the point guard who shoots the ball.”\nBut as the company grew larger, Ebbers penny-pinching behavior during his early motel management days became more extreme. WorldCom executives would later complain that Ebbers stopped providing free coffee within their offices and directed security guards fill the water coolers with tap water.\nAnd for the head of a telecommunications company, Ebbers was curiously distrustful of cutting-edge tech developments. He refused to communicate via email and would not carry a pager or a cell phone. He would explain his actions internally by repeating “That’s the way we did it at LDDS,” and in a 1997 Business Week interview about this behavior he claimed that “when you come to the table with a (physical education) degree like I do, you don't know a lot about the technical stuff.”\nWhile Ebbers’ arms-length distance from personal technology could have been attributed to a zany quirk, there was another problem that couldn’t be happily shrugged away. As the company expanded, operational problems began to permeate the multiple divisions. Ebbers would become impatient or worse when confronted with problems, to the point that he would angrily demand that he only wanted to be addressed with good news.\nIn retrospect, Ebbers’ refusal to acknowledge that his company was growing too fast and too large proved to be a fatal flaw, especially when the corporate culture began to manufacture good news in lieu of reporting problems. As a result, Ebbers’ XL-sized business empire was sustained by taking on massive amounts of debt and highly improper accounting.\nDetour Off The Cliff:The first cracks in this corporate story began in October 1999 when MCI WorldCom — which had become the second-largest long-distance telephone company in the country — announced a $129 billion merger with Sprint, the third-largest telecom carrier. Within nine months of this announcement, the merger was canceled in the face of pressure from U.S. and European regulators who feared a telecom monopoly would be born from this union. MCI WorldCom walked away from the failure by renaming itself as WorldCom.\nWith the rise of the new millennium came the fall of the dot-com industry, and almost any company that had a tech-related aspect found itself taking a financial tumble. When Ebbers’ company tried to cut corners and save money, it turned into an act of self-immolation.\nWorldcom’s network systems engineering division exhausted its annual capital expenditures budget by November 2000, with a senior manager ordering a halt to processing payments for network systems vendors and suppliers until the beginning of 2001.\nThe company’s chief technical officer,Fred Briggs,then ordered all of the labor associated with the capital projects in the network systems division to be booked as an expense rather than a capital project — and his directive was shared with other divisions in the company.\nA WorldCom budget analyst named Kim Amighin the company’s Richardson, Texas, office recognized the legal ramifications of intentionally mischaracterizing capital expenses and lodged a protest against the order. The directive was canceled and so was Amigh — three months after his action, Amigh was abruptly laid off from the company.\nBut Vice President of Internal Audit Cynthia Cooper learned of Amigh’s findings and picked up his trail. Her department began combing through WorldCom’s accounts and found $2 billion that the company claimed in its public filings was spent on capital expenditures during the first three quarters of 2001 — except that the funds were never authorized for that purpose and were clearly operating costs moved into the capital expenditure accounting as a way to make WorldCom look more profitable.\nCooper could not find anyone in the WorldCom leadership ranks to explain the $2 billion discrepancy. Most executives said it was a “prepaid capacity,” a meaningless term which they couldn’t define when pressed by Cooper.\nAnd Cooper was not alone in her suspicions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission could not fathom how WorldCom continued to claim robust profits during the dot-com period while its competitors were operating at a loss, and it sent forth a “Request for Information” to learn the secret of its success.\nAdding to this chaos were Ebbers’ personal financial woes, which became exacerbated during to dot-com crisis by margin calls on his WorldCom shares, which were tanking as the economy plummeted into a recession.\nTo alleviate his monetary pain, Ebbers borrowed $50 million from WorldCom in September 2000 — and then borrowed again and again. By April 2002, Ebbers was $400 million in debt to WorldCom and the board of directors demanded his resignation, which he provided.\nIn June 2002, WorldCom acknowledged its earnings reports contained $3.9 billion in accounting misstatements, with the figure later adjusted to $11 billion. In July 2002, the company declared bankruptcy and was delisted from public trading. Also during that month, Ebbers was called before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services to explain what happened. He pleaded the Fifth Amendment.\nRoad’s End:The efforts to bring Ebbers to trial got off to a weird start when the State of Oklahoma jumped the gun with a 15-count indictment, only to drop its charges in favor of federal prosecution.\nEbbers was indicted in May 2004 on seven counts of filing false statements with securities regulators plus one count each of conspiracy and securities fraud. Ebbers agreed to testify on his behalf, which many observers later considered to be a major mistake because he came across as evasive and unconvincing when insisting WorldCom’s downfall was solely the fault of his subordinates and that he was ignorant about how his company worked.\n“I know what I don’t know,” Ebbers said during his trial. “To this day, I don’t know technology, and I don’t know finance or accounting.”\nEbbers was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to 25 years in prison, the longest sentence ever handed down in U.S. history for a financial fraud case against a corporate executive.\nHe remained free on bail while fighting to overturn the verdict, but the conviction was upheld in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in July 2006. Two months later, he drove himself in his luxury Mercedes-Benz to a low-security Louisiana prison to begin his sentence. Two years later, his wife Kristie successfully filed for divorce.\nAfter 13 years behind bars, Ebbers was granted a compassionate release on Dec. 21, 2019, due to a deteriorating state of health that included macular degeneration that left him legally blind, anemia, a weakened heart condition and the beginnings of dementia. He returned to his home in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and passed away on Feb. 2, 2020.\nIn defining his rise to the top, Ebbers harkened back to his basketball days by insisting, “The coach's job is to get the best players and get them to play together.” But in explaining his fall from grace, Ebbers forgot that the core of coaching is accepting responsibility for the team’s performance and he blamed his “best players” for not being able to “play together” while absolving himself from their errors.\nSaid Ebbers when confronted with his ultimate failure as the corporate equivalent of a coach: “I didn't have anything to apologize for.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":210,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":892013918,"gmtCreate":1628610324434,"gmtModify":1633745728916,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087297072458000","authorIdStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"✈️&nbsp;","listText":"✈️&nbsp;","text":"✈️","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/892013918","repostId":"2158772124","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":81,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":813766103,"gmtCreate":1630249640302,"gmtModify":1704957451145,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087297072458000","authorIdStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/813766103","repostId":"1129129956","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1129129956","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630201285,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1129129956?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-29 09:41","market":"us","language":"en","title":"This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1129129956","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.The company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.The market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.Real estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologieshas been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company  merger.

In a race to disrupt residential real estate, one of the largest markets in the world, Opendoor's long-term potential could bring big returns for patient investors.</p>\n<p>Despite the upside, the market hasn't yet appreciated Opendoor's accomplishments; the stock is down more than 50% from its highs. There are three important clues that Opendoor could be a compelling investment idea for bold investors.</p>\n<h3>1. Opendoor is winning the iBuying battle</h3>\n<p>The traditional home-buying process in the United States is slow and handled by multiple parties, including agents, lawyers, inspectors, and bankers. This creates a lot of back and forth paperwork and drags the process out to more than 30 days, on average.</p>\n<p>Opendoor pioneered the concept of \"iBuying,\" where the buying and selling of a house are digitized, and a company like Opendoor works directly with sellers to provide them with a cash offer and a digital closing process. The company then resells the house on the market. The iBuying process cuts out agents and some of the fees associated with traditional closings, such as agent commissions. Opendoor then resells the house on the market and charges a service fee of up to 5% on the transaction.</p>\n<p>After seeing Opendoor steadily grow with its iBuying concept, competitors have also begun to offer iBuying services, including&nbsp;<b>Zillow Group</b>&nbsp;and Offerpad. Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.</p>\n<p>According to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.</p>\n<h3>2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule</h3>\n<p>When companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"</p>\n<p>In other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.</p>\n<h3>3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?</h3>\n<p>Investors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.</p>\n<p>Investors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.</p>\n<p>But if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.</p>\n<p>Competitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.</p>\n<h3>Here's the bottom line</h3>\n<p>Real estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"<b>Amazon</b>\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is&nbsp;poised to be a big player&nbsp;in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.</p>\n<p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>This Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day</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\">\nThis Unloved Tech Stock Could Make You Rich One Day\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-29 09:41 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"OPEN":"Opendoor Technologies Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/28/this-unloved-tech-stock-may-make-you-rich-one-day/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1129129956","content_text":"Key Points\n\nThe iBuying business is a race to grow larger, and Opendoor is winning.\nThe company is growing at a rate that is two years ahead of what management projected just a year earlier.\nThe market is bearish on virtually all SPACs, making Opendoor a bargain that could eventually bring huge returns.\n\n\nReal estate iBuying company Opendoor Technologies(NASDAQ:OPEN)has been executing at a high level in the three quarters since coming public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger.

Because of how capital intensive the business is (a lot of money is needed to buy and sell thousands of houses) and how price competitive the housing market is, these companies are racing to get as big as possible. As the companies buy and sell more homes, they have the ability to become more profitable by leveraging outsourced contractors to save money, and its pricing algorithm improves as it sees more transactions.\nAccording to iBuyerStats, a website dedicated to tracking the competitors found in iBuying, Opendoor has consistently had the most housing inventory available for sale. It currently has roughly 3,300 houses for sale, 53% more than Zillow and more than four times as many as Offerpad.\n2. Revenue growth is ahead of schedule\nWhen companies go public viaSPACmerger, they lay out a public presentation of their business, often including long-term growth projections. Opendoor laid out its pre-merger investor presentation about a year ago, in September 2020.\nFast forward to the company's recent 2021 Q2 earnings call. CEO and founder Eric Wu said on the earnings call, \"... based on our current progress, our second half revenue run rate is on track to exceed our 2023 target, a full two years ahead of plan.\"\nIn other words, if Opendoor were to operate for 12 months at the level the business currently is, it would surpass the $9.8 billion in revenue it projected for 2023. This is an underlooked point because if Opendoor is already two years ahead of its original growth curve, where will it be by 2023? Sure, a dip in the housing market or other events could disrupt the company's speed of growth, but Opendoor is showing the world that the business is operating at a high level.\n3. SPACs are out of favor with the market... opportunity?\nInvestors have overlooked this strong performance, focusing instead on the fact that Opendoor joined the public market via SPAC merger. It has hardly mattered what operating results or earnings have looked like for former SPACs; the stock market has been selling off virtually all SPAC-based stocks for several months now.\nInvestors have been spooked by a handful of \"bad apple\" companies turning up fraudulent, and other companies have wildly missed on the projections they made before going public. These instances have burned those involved, and investors have taken a much more cautious attitude toward SPACs as a whole.\nBut if companies like Opendoor keep blowing away estimates, the market is likely to come around eventually. When it does, the stock price could move aggressively. If we take Eric Wu's comments about revenue and assume that Opendoor does sales of $10 billion in 2022 (in other words, Opendoor stops growing and maintains its current pace over the following year), the stock currently trades at aprice-to-sales(P/S) ratio of just 1.0. That's a bargain-bin valuation.\nCompetitor Zillow Group trades at a P/S ratio of more than 3, reflecting Opendoor's discount as a former SPAC.\nHere's the bottom line\nReal estate is a huge market, and it's a complicated industry because of the clash between traditional agents and the \"new kids\" on the block trying to bring technology into homebuying. It's too early to say that Opendoor will become the \"Amazon\" of home buying, but what seems certain is that the company is poised to be a big player in real estate's future if it keeps performing like this.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":392,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":819553412,"gmtCreate":1630079229836,"gmtModify":1704955725968,"author":{"id":"4087297072458000","authorId":"4087297072458000","name":"Doublexx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4087297072458000","authorIdStr":"4087297072458000"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Green","listText":"Green","text":"Green","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/819553412","repostId":"1199074003","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1199074003","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":1630077382,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1199074003?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-27 23:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Crypto stocks surged in morning trading","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1199074003","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Crypto stocks surged in morning trading.Bit Digital,Marathon Digital,Riot Blockchain,SoS Ltd,Square,","content":"<p>Crypto stocks surged in morning trading.Bit Digital,Marathon Digital,Riot Blockchain,SoS Ltd,Square,Coinbase&nbsp;and&nbsp;Paypal&nbsp;climbed between 1% and 13%.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/67735af69f95f6a88ee67ae3737e58c0\" tg-width=\"364\" tg-height=\"715\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
