entertainment giant is testing a new feature at one of its theme parks.","content":"<p><b>Walt Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS) has been welcoming more and more guests back to its theme parks after the coronavirus pandemic forced the company to temporarily shut the doors to visitors at various points over the past 18 months. These closures cost the company billions in lost revenue.</p>\n<p>As it tries to get its financial footing back, Disney is testing a new feature at its theme park in Paris. The company is allowing guests to purchase premier access passes that would allow them to skip lines entirely. Folks can purchase premier access to a ride they wish to go on at a specific time slot without waiting in the long line. The move has the potential to solve two problems simultaneously.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f576a7d65060be568631e6aa18ef7c7b\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<h2>1. Boosting revenue to pre-pandemic levels</h2>\n<p>At a price of between 8 euros and 15 euros per ride per guest, the line-cutting pass could raise revenue at the park substantially. It's similar to the free Fast Pass feature that was available at Disney parks prior to the pandemic, but it is more convenient in that the paid version allows the user to pick the time slot they wish. Folks using it regularly could easily spend more on premier passes than on the price of admission. And excluding the cost of technology to develop the capability, the revenue from these passes will almost completely fall to the bottom line.</p>\n<p>If the program proves successful in Paris, Disney could extend the feature to the rest of its theme parks. That could play a big part in bringing revenue back to pre-pandemic levels. In fiscal 2020 alone, the segment that includes theme parks, experiences, and products reported a 37% decrease in revenue from the previous year.</p>\n<p>The loss in revenue caused a pronounced drop in operating income for the segment, going from $6.7 billion in 2019 to a loss of $81 million in 2020.</p>\n<h2>2. Reducing complaints of long wait times</h2>\n<p>One of the more common complaints from guests visiting a Disney theme park is the long wait times to experience attractions. Before the pandemic, it was getting harder and harder to find a time of day or day of the year when Disney's theme parks weren't filled close to capacity. It was common to wait over an hour to access the most popular rides.</p>\n<p>In offering a premium pass that allows guests to skip lines entirely, Disney can reduce complaints of long wait times. If the program works as it's intended to, guests who really want to experience an attraction without waiting in line can pay for the privilege (some restrictions do still apply). It can serve as empowerment for frustrated guests, who can now pay to improve their experience.</p>\n<h2>Not without risks</h2>\n<p>Still, the move is not without risk. It could alienate regular guests who are unwilling or unable to pay for premium access and who may have to wait longer to go on rides. Or the demand may be so high for premium passes on certain rides that not everyone who wants to buy <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> can. It may improve the experience for a few guests but make it worse for others and overall not really solve the problem.</p>\n<p>It is prudent, therefore, that management is testing the feature at only one of its theme parks before rolling it out to the rest.

These closures cost the company billions in lost revenue.\nAs it tries to get its financial footing back, Disney is testing a new feature at its theme park in Paris. The company is allowing guests to purchase premier access passes that would allow them to skip lines entirely. Folks can purchase premier access to a ride they wish to go on at a specific time slot without waiting in the long line. The move has the potential to solve two problems simultaneously.\n\n1. Boosting revenue to pre-pandemic levels\nAt a price of between 8 euros and 15 euros per ride per guest, the line-cutting pass could raise revenue at the park substantially. It's similar to the free Fast Pass feature that was available at Disney parks prior to the pandemic, but it is more convenient in that the paid version allows the user to pick the time slot they wish. Folks using it regularly could easily spend more on premier passes than on the price of admission. And excluding the cost of technology to develop the capability, the revenue from these passes will almost completely fall to the bottom line.\nIf the program proves successful in Paris, Disney could extend the feature to the rest of its theme parks. That could play a big part in bringing revenue back to pre-pandemic levels. In fiscal 2020 alone, the segment that includes theme parks, experiences, and products reported a 37% decrease in revenue from the previous year.\nThe loss in revenue caused a pronounced drop in operating income for the segment, going from $6.7 billion in 2019 to a loss of $81 million in 2020.\n2. Reducing complaints of long wait times\nOne of the more common complaints from guests visiting a Disney theme park is the long wait times to experience attractions. Before the pandemic, it was getting harder and harder to find a time of day or day of the year when Disney's theme parks weren't filled close to capacity. It was common to wait over an hour to access the most popular rides.\nIn offering a premium pass that allows guests to skip lines entirely, Disney can reduce complaints of long wait times. If the program works as it's intended to, guests who really want to experience an attraction without waiting in line can pay for the privilege (some restrictions do still apply). It can serve as empowerment for frustrated guests, who can now pay to improve their experience.\nNot without risks\nStill, the move is not without risk. It could alienate regular guests who are unwilling or unable to pay for premium access and who may have to wait longer to go on rides. Or the demand may be so high for premium passes on certain rides that not everyone who wants to buy one can. It may improve the experience for a few guests but make it worse for others and overall not really solve the problem.\nIt is prudent, therefore, that management is testing the feature at only one of its theme parks before rolling it out to the rest. Hopefully, it can address any issues that arise and determine if the net effects of the feature are worthy of rolling it out.\nThe company continues on its path, attempting to maximize guest spending at theme parks. Experimenting with admission prices, annual passes, and features like premium passes will go a long way in achieving the goal. Investors can rest assured the parks will likely draw visitors for decades more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":300,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173344867,"gmtCreate":1626622798159,"gmtModify":1631885615558,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Netflix need better shows lol&nbsp;","listText":"Netflix need better shows lol&nbsp;","text":"Netflix need better shows lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/173344867","repostId":"2152897876","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152897876","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626528120,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2152897876?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-17 21:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Earnings: What to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152897876","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The streaming video giant has some big questions to answer for investors on Tuesday.","content":"<p><b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) investors are bracing for a volatile trading week ahead. The world's leading subscription-based streaming service will announce its first-quarter results after having posted wildly different growth rates in the previous two reports.</p>\n<p>Netflix's late April earnings showed much slower user growth than management had forecast, which executives blamed on temporary challenges like a light content release schedule rather than rising competition from rivals like <b>Disney</b> (NYSE:DIS).</p>\n<p>That explanation raises the bar for Netflix to issue an optimistic forecast for the second half of 2021 in its announcement on July 20.

Netflix is aiming to add just 1 million global subscribers after gaining 4 million last quarter. The same factors that powered that weak Q1 result will affect Q2. Those include a return to more normal TV trends as people turned to other entertainment activities in the wake of the pandemic.</p>\n<p>The big growth question is whether Netflix is feeling heat from competition like Disney's expanding streaming service. Executives said in April that these threats weren't to blame for the slow start to the year, given that engagement remained strong with existing members and growth was sluggish across many markets rather than just in the ones with new competition. Tuesday's report will mark Netflix's opportunity to show that it is still the leader in the niche.</p>\n<h2>Capital questions</h2>\n<p>The improving cash flow picture has been a big factor behind Netflix's stock price surge, and that's likely to be another highlight of this report. Ironically, the worry is that the company can't spend cash quickly enough to keep the content pipeline fully stocked. Most TV and movie production paused early last year and has only now started back up. Management is hoping to spend as much as $17 billion on content this year while marking its first year of positive cash flow.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/24e7594a3156e7defcc305d31d5ff009\" tg-width=\"720\" tg-height=\"465\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>NFLX Cash from Operations (TTM) data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>Look for a new financial metric this quarter, too: stock buyback spending.

The global market is forecasted to grow to $450 billion by 2040, according to consulting firm Kearney, which would represent roughly a quarter of the broader $1.8 trillion meat market.\nThemarket for plant-based productshas largely been driven by faux milk and meat, which make up 35% and 20%, respectively, of the total sales in the category, according to GFI. Plant-based meat sales grew 45% to $1.4 billon in 2020, while plant-based milk sales grew 20% to $2.5 billion.\nThe market for plant-based fish, on the other hand, has been slower to develop. While U.S. sales grew 23% in 2020, it only accounted for $12 million, according to GFI and PBFA. That represents 0.1% of the entire U.S. seafood market, compared to sales of plant-based meat making up 1.4% of U.S. meat sales.\n“Conventional seafood really has a health halo around it; it’s seen as a very healthy food that doctors often tell patients to consume more of,” Marika Azoff, corporate engagement specialist at GFI, said as to why alternative fish products may have lagged behind. “The environmental impacts aren’t as straightforward as they are with beef and dairy – they are a little bit more complex and kind of harder for the general public to grasp.”\nInvesting in faux fish\nHowever, several companies are looking to change that in an attempt to take a piece of the more than $15 billion U.S. seafood market.\nThere were 83 companies globally producing alternative seafood products as of June 2021, according to GFI, with 65 of them focusing on plant-based products. In comparison, there were only 29 companies producing alternative seafood products in 2017.\nIn 2020, more than $80 million was invested in alternative seafood companies — four times the amount invested in 2019, according to GFI.\nBlueNalu’s whole-muscle, cell-based yellowtail amberjack.Source: BlueNalu\nGathered Foods, which produces plant-based seafood brand Good Catch, raised a $32 million Series B funding round in January 2020 from investors including Lightlife Foods parent company Greenleaf Foods and 301 Inc., the venture arm ofGeneral Mills.\nBlueNalu, which is focused on cultured seafood, or fish produced directly from cells,raised $60 million in convertible note financingin January 2021, a record deal for an alternative seafood company.\nTo date, the two giants of alternative meat products have not yet made an entry in alternative fish. Impossible Foods said in 2019 that it was working on a plant-based fish recipe, but it has yet to release any products. Beyond Meat has previously stated it was focused on beef, poultry and pork.\n“There’s no reason that alterative seafood can’t or won’t catch up to the other types of alternative proteins,” said Azoff. “There is not a dominate company in plant-based seafood the way the meat and dairy categories have, but we’re seeing potential for that to change soon.”\nTraditional seafood companies are also making their own investments in alternative fish.\nIn September 2020, Nestlé launched Vuna, a plant-based tuna alternative that is the company’s first foray into plant-based seafood, citing statistics that 90% of global fish stocks are now depleted or close to depletion.\nThai Union Group, which owns brands like Chicken of the Sea, said it will launch a plant-based shrimp product by the end of this year, joining its other plant-based fish and crab products already available.\nTyson Ventures, the venture capital arm of Tyson Foods, invested in plant-based shellfish company New Wave Foods in September 2019, and joined its $18 million Series A funding round that closed in January. Bumble Bee Foods signed a joint venture with Good Catch in March 2020.\nGrowing concerns about the fishing industry\nVirginia-based Van Cleve Seafood Company, which sold traditional seafood for more than 20 years, started solely producing plant-based seafood products under the label The Plant Based Seafood Co., citing issues with the fishing industry such as child labor, overfishing and mislabeling.\n“We wanted to do something about it, and we thought if not us, then who?” Plant Based Seafood Co. chief executive officer Monica Talberttold CNBC’s Kate Rogers. “That’s when we made the decision, we were going to do something that would create change.”\nThe Plant Based Seafood Co. has products like crab cakes made from artichokes, and scallops and shrimp made from vegetable root starch, all of which are sold out online.\nConcerns about the fishing industry, further highlighted in the recent Netflix documentary “Seaspriacy” that advocates for the end of fish consumption, is viewed as a driver for consumers to switch to plant-based products. A poll of 2,500 Americans from Kelton Global found that reducing plastic waste in the ocean, saving ocean habitats and reducing harm towards marine animals would be reasons consumers would buy plant-based fish over wild-caught fish.\nGavin Gibbons, vice president of communications at the National Fisheries Institute, a trade group representing the fishing industry, said that the organization and its member companies view plant-based products a as “very likely part of the future of feeding a growing planet.”\n“They’re technologically impressive and can and should be able to coexist with real seafood, as long as they’re labeled accurately,” Gibbons said, noting that some of NFI’s member companies have made investments into alternative seafood.\nHowever, Gibbons said, presenting alternative seafood as either nutritionally superior to real fish or better for sustainability reasons would be wrong in his view.\n“The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans highlight that consumers don’t eat nearly enough seafood and it is unarguably the healthiest animal protein on the planet,” he said. “Few public health professionals would recommend imitation seafood over the real thing. They might make that recommendation for other products but not seafood. From that perspective these plant-based amalgams aren’t really alternatives they’re simply imitations.”\nGibbons said that 51% of the seafood consumers eat is farmed and about 75% of commercially important marine fish stocks, as stated and monitored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, are fished within biologically sustainable levels.\n“There’s a lot of hyperbole associated with claims about empty oceans and if that’s being used to market imitation products then it’s disingenuous,” Gibbons said.\nThere is one big obstacle that could stand in the way of fake fish: taste.\nWhile 43% of respondents to that Kelton poll said they would consider purchasing alternative seafood in the future and most cited flavor as the most important factor in driving consumption, 38% said they anticipate disliking the taste of alternative fish and 27% said they anticipate disliking the texture. Twenty-seven percent said they have never seen plant-based seafood at a grocery store.\n“First and foremost, consumers are going to purchase alternative seafood if it tastes good,” Azoff said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":173920016,"gmtCreate":1626602806935,"gmtModify":1631893293523,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/173920016","repostId":"1139907709","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139907709","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626568617,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139907709?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-18 08:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Crime And Punishment: Thomas F.

The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the&nbsp;<b>Genovese crime family.</b></p>\n<p>The SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.</p>\n<p>Three years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.</p>\n<p>The FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.</p>\n<p>Realizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife&nbsp;<b>Rochelle Rothfleisch</b>&nbsp;decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.</p>\n<p><b>Boiler Room Follies:</b>The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.</p>\n<p>Quinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.</p>\n<p>Each office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world.

The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.</p>\n<p><b>A Temporary Setback:</b>&nbsp;In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France&nbsp;saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.</p>\n<p>For starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up.&nbsp;Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered&nbsp;<b>Bank of Credit and Commerce International</b>&nbsp;in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.</p>\n<p>Also, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.</p>\n<p>The SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C.&nbsp;with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.</p>\n<p>In France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.</p>\n<p>He came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison,&nbsp;but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.</p>\n<p>His Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.</p>\n<p><b>An Eventual Stumble:</b>One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich was<b>Martin Frankel,</b>a financier with his own addiction to swindling.</p>\n<p>In 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies —&nbsp;but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.</p>\n<p>Frankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.</p>\n<p>For most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.</p>\n<p>In 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)</p>\n<p>In November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.</p>\n<p>Quinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.</p>\n<p>What became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.</p>\n<p>One information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.</p>\n<p>Quinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities.&nbsp;During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.</p>\n<p>\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief. I'm just trying to get on with my life. I'm not in the securities business and never will be again.\"</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","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>Wall Street Crime And Punishment: Thomas F.

A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.\nThe SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C. with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.\nIn France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.\nHe came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison, but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.\nHis Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.\nAn Eventual Stumble:One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich wasMartin Frankel,a financier with his own addiction to swindling.\nIn 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies — but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.\nFrankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.\nFor most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.\nIn 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)\nIn November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.\nQuinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.\nWhat became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.\nOne information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.\nQuinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities. During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.\n\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief. I'm just trying to get on with my life. I'm not in the securities business and never will be again.\"","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":247,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179242477,"gmtCreate":1626539993299,"gmtModify":1631893293535,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4089247479509380\">@BrandonHojj</a>//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4089287903529910\">@CLSL</a>:Wow hmmm","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4089247479509380\">@BrandonHojj</a>//<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/U/4089287903529910\">@CLSL</a>:Wow hmmm","text":"@BrandonHojj//@CLSL:Wow hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179242477","repostId":"2151573815","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":106,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147759799,"gmtCreate":1626392694911,"gmtModify":1631893293537,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow hmmm","listText":"Wow hmmm","text":"Wow hmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/147759799","repostId":"2151573815","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":77,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":147725187,"gmtCreate":1626392558449,"gmtModify":1631893293543,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooof","listText":"Ooof","text":"Ooof","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/147725187","repostId":"1105759126","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":110,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":173344867,"gmtCreate":1626622798159,"gmtModify":1631885615558,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Netflix need better shows lol&nbsp;","listText":"Netflix need better shows lol&nbsp;","text":"Netflix need better shows lol","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":8,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/173344867","repostId":"2152897876","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2152897876","kind":"highlight","pubTimestamp":1626528120,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2152897876?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-17 21:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix Earnings: What to Watch","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2152897876","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"The streaming video giant has some big questions to answer for investors on Tuesday.","content":"<p><b>Netflix</b> (NASDAQ:NFLX) investors are bracing for a volatile trading week ahead.

Q","content":"<p><i>Does crime pay?</i></p>\n<p>In August 1988, French authorities arrested an American expatriate named&nbsp;<b>Thomas F. Quinn</b>&nbsp;for orchestrating a global securities scheme that defrauded investors out of $500 million.</p>\n<p>As an unapologetic financial miscreant with a lifelong penchant for fraud, the French escapade represented something of a career peak for Quinn, whose flair of swindling took on an astonishing level of organizing that left no corner of the world untouched.</p>\n<p><b>Illusory Assets For Sale:</b>Thomas Francis Quinn was born in Brooklyn in 1932; his father drove a cement truck and his mother was a housewife who made extra money selling clothing and jewelry from the family’s garage.</p>\n<p>Quinn was an altar boy in his childhood and was the first member of his family to pursue higher education, graduating from St. John’s University Law School and passing the bar in 1962.</p>\n<p>Quinn opted to go into business for himself, starting a brokerage firm in New York called&nbsp;<b>Thomas, Williams &amp; Lee.</b>The main focus of this firm became the promotion of&nbsp;<b>Kent Industries,</b>a company that claimed to own Florida property valued at $2 million.</p>\n<p>There was a slight problem —&nbsp;Kent Industries didn’t own anything in the Sunshine State, and this inconvenient fact helped to introduce Quinn to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>\n<p>Long story short: Quinn received a lifetime banishment from the SEC in 1966 from doing business with brokers and dealers thanks to what the agency defined as his “flagrant fraudulent practices” related to the Kent Industries assets, which the regulator considered to be “almost completely illusory.”</p>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was a bit slower in dealing with Quinn, but by 1970 he was sent to jail for six months and was later permanently disbarred from practicing law.</p>\n<p><b>A Job With The Mob:</b>Prior to losing his law license, Quinn gained a partnership in a New York-based securities law firm that set off several alarms among federal law enforcement agencies. Indeed, an FBI report from 1983 recalled this firm’s chief focus was being responsible for the “funds of hoodlum-controlled companies.”</p>\n<p>Quinn was on both the FBI’s and SEC’s respective radars in the early 1980s for his role with two companies,<b>Sundance Gold Mining</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Aquarius Gold Exploration</b>, that claimed to have discovered gold in Suriname. The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the&nbsp;<b>Genovese crime family.</b></p>\n<p>The SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.</p>\n<p>Three years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.</p>\n<p>The FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.</p>\n<p>Realizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife&nbsp;<b>Rochelle Rothfleisch</b>&nbsp;decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.</p>\n<p><b>Boiler Room Follies:</b>The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.</p>\n<p>Quinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.</p>\n<p>Each office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world. The stocks in question were mostly shell companies trading on the over-the-counter exchanges that Quinn picked up for pennies, but they were resold by Quinn’s salesmen at inflated amounts.</p>\n<p>The investors were culled from mailing lists sold by publishing companies and professional organizations, as well as from respondents to advertisements placed in newsletters focused on the over-the-counter markets.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s henchmen would telephone the investors —&nbsp;nearly all of whom were novices to investing —&nbsp;and do a high-pressure sales spiel that, more often than not, resulted in the separation of the gullible targets from their money.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s team aimed at European, Australian, Middle Eastern and Hong Kong neophyte investors. The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.</p>\n<p><b>A Temporary Setback:</b>&nbsp;In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France&nbsp;saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.</p>\n<p>For starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up.&nbsp;Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered&nbsp;<b>Bank of Credit and Commerce International</b>&nbsp;in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering.

Quinn for orchestrating a global securities scheme that defrauded investors out of $500 million.\nAs an unapologetic financial miscreant with a lifelong penchant for fraud, the French escapade represented something of a career peak for Quinn, whose flair of swindling took on an astonishing level of organizing that left no corner of the world untouched.\nIllusory Assets For Sale:Thomas Francis Quinn was born in Brooklyn in 1932; his father drove a cement truck and his mother was a housewife who made extra money selling clothing and jewelry from the family’s garage.\nQuinn was an altar boy in his childhood and was the first member of his family to pursue higher education, graduating from St. John’s University Law School and passing the bar in 1962.\nQuinn opted to go into business for himself, starting a brokerage firm in New York called Thomas, Williams & Lee.The main focus of this firm became the promotion of Kent Industries,a company that claimed to own Florida property valued at $2 million.\nThere was a slight problem — Kent Industries didn’t own anything in the Sunshine State, and this inconvenient fact helped to introduce Quinn to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).\nLong story short: Quinn received a lifetime banishment from the SEC in 1966 from doing business with brokers and dealers thanks to what the agency defined as his “flagrant fraudulent practices” related to the Kent Industries assets, which the regulator considered to be “almost completely illusory.”\nThe U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was a bit slower in dealing with Quinn, but by 1970 he was sent to jail for six months and was later permanently disbarred from practicing law.\nA Job With The Mob:Prior to losing his law license, Quinn gained a partnership in a New York-based securities law firm that set off several alarms among federal law enforcement agencies. Indeed, an FBI report from 1983 recalled this firm’s chief focus was being responsible for the “funds of hoodlum-controlled companies.”\nQuinn was on both the FBI’s and SEC’s respective radars in the early 1980s for his role with two companies,Sundance Gold Mining and Aquarius Gold Exploration, that claimed to have discovered gold in Suriname. The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the Genovese crime family.\nThe SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.\nThree years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.\nThe FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.\nRealizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife Rochelle Rothfleisch decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.\nBoiler Room Follies:The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.\nQuinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.\nEach office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world. The stocks in question were mostly shell companies trading on the over-the-counter exchanges that Quinn picked up for pennies, but they were resold by Quinn’s salesmen at inflated amounts.\nThe investors were culled from mailing lists sold by publishing companies and professional organizations, as well as from respondents to advertisements placed in newsletters focused on the over-the-counter markets.\nQuinn’s henchmen would telephone the investors — nearly all of whom were novices to investing — and do a high-pressure sales spiel that, more often than not, resulted in the separation of the gullible targets from their money.\nQuinn’s team aimed at European, Australian, Middle Eastern and Hong Kong neophyte investors. The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.\nA Temporary Setback: In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.\nFor starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up. Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered Bank of Credit and Commerce International in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.\nAlso, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.\nThe SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C. with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.\nIn France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.\nHe came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison, but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.\nHis Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.\nAn Eventual Stumble:One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich wasMartin Frankel,a financier with his own addiction to swindling.\nIn 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies — but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.\nFrankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.\nFor most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.\nIn 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)\nIn November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million.

He was released in May 2016.\nWhat became of Quinn since his release is unknown.

The global market is forecasted to grow to $450 billion by 2040, according to consulting firm Kearney, which would represent roughly a quarter of the broader $1.8 trillion meat market.\nThemarket for plant-based productshas largely been driven by faux milk and meat, which make up 35% and 20%, respectively, of the total sales in the category, according to GFI. Plant-based meat sales grew 45% to $1.4 billon in 2020, while plant-based milk sales grew 20% to $2.5 billion.\nThe market for plant-based fish, on the other hand, has been slower to develop. While U.S. sales grew 23% in 2020, it only accounted for $12 million, according to GFI and PBFA. That represents 0.1% of the entire U.S. seafood market, compared to sales of plant-based meat making up 1.4% of U.S. meat sales.\n“Conventional seafood really has a health halo around it; it’s seen as a very healthy food that doctors often tell patients to consume more of,” Marika Azoff, corporate engagement specialist at GFI, said as to why alternative fish products may have lagged behind. “The environmental impacts aren’t as straightforward as they are with beef and dairy – they are a little bit more complex and kind of harder for the general public to grasp.”\nInvesting in faux fish\nHowever, several companies are looking to change that in an attempt to take a piece of the more than $15 billion U.S. seafood market.\nThere were 83 companies globally producing alternative seafood products as of June 2021, according to GFI, with 65 of them focusing on plant-based products. In comparison, there were only 29 companies producing alternative seafood products in 2017.\nIn 2020, more than $80 million was invested in alternative seafood companies — four times the amount invested in 2019, according to GFI.\nBlueNalu’s whole-muscle, cell-based yellowtail amberjack.Source: BlueNalu\nGathered Foods, which produces plant-based seafood brand Good Catch, raised a $32 million Series B funding round in January 2020 from investors including Lightlife Foods parent company Greenleaf Foods and 301 Inc., the venture arm ofGeneral Mills.\nBlueNalu, which is focused on cultured seafood, or fish produced directly from cells,raised $60 million in convertible note financingin January 2021, a record deal for an alternative seafood company.\nTo date, the two giants of alternative meat products have not yet made an entry in alternative fish. Impossible Foods said in 2019 that it was working on a plant-based fish recipe, but it has yet to release any products. Beyond Meat has previously stated it was focused on beef, poultry and pork.\n“There’s no reason that alterative seafood can’t or won’t catch up to the other types of alternative proteins,” said Azoff. “There is not a dominate company in plant-based seafood the way the meat and dairy categories have, but we’re seeing potential for that to change soon.”\nTraditional seafood companies are also making their own investments in alternative fish.\nIn September 2020, Nestlé launched Vuna, a plant-based tuna alternative that is the company’s first foray into plant-based seafood, citing statistics that 90% of global fish stocks are now depleted or close to depletion.\nThai Union Group, which owns brands like Chicken of the Sea, said it will launch a plant-based shrimp product by the end of this year, joining its other plant-based fish and crab products already available.\nTyson Ventures, the venture capital arm of Tyson Foods, invested in plant-based shellfish company New Wave Foods in September 2019, and joined its $18 million Series A funding round that closed in January. Bumble Bee Foods signed a joint venture with Good Catch in March 2020.\nGrowing concerns about the fishing industry\nVirginia-based Van Cleve Seafood Company, which sold traditional seafood for more than 20 years, started solely producing plant-based seafood products under the label The Plant Based Seafood Co., citing issues with the fishing industry such as child labor, overfishing and mislabeling.\n“We wanted to do something about it, and we thought if not us, then who?” Plant Based Seafood Co. chief executive officer Monica Talberttold CNBC’s Kate Rogers. “That’s when we made the decision, we were going to do something that would create change.”\nThe Plant Based Seafood Co. has products like crab cakes made from artichokes, and scallops and shrimp made from vegetable root starch, all of which are sold out online.\nConcerns about the fishing industry, further highlighted in the recent Netflix documentary “Seaspriacy” that advocates for the end of fish consumption, is viewed as a driver for consumers to switch to plant-based products. A poll of 2,500 Americans from Kelton Global found that reducing plastic waste in the ocean, saving ocean habitats and reducing harm towards marine animals would be reasons consumers would buy plant-based fish over wild-caught fish.\nGavin Gibbons, vice president of communications at the National Fisheries Institute, a trade group representing the fishing industry, said that the organization and its member companies view plant-based products a as “very likely part of the future of feeding a growing planet.”\n“They’re technologically impressive and can and should be able to coexist with real seafood, as long as they’re labeled accurately,” Gibbons said, noting that some of NFI’s member companies have made investments into alternative seafood.\nHowever, Gibbons said, presenting alternative seafood as either nutritionally superior to real fish or better for sustainability reasons would be wrong in his view.\n“The USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans highlight that consumers don’t eat nearly enough seafood and it is unarguably the healthiest animal protein on the planet,” he said. “Few public health professionals would recommend imitation seafood over the real thing. They might make that recommendation for other products but not seafood. From that perspective these plant-based amalgams aren’t really alternatives they’re simply imitations.”\nGibbons said that 51% of the seafood consumers eat is farmed and about 75% of commercially important marine fish stocks, as stated and monitored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, are fished within biologically sustainable levels.\n“There’s a lot of hyperbole associated with claims about empty oceans and if that’s being used to market imitation products then it’s disingenuous,” Gibbons said.\nThere is one big obstacle that could stand in the way of fake fish: taste.\nWhile 43% of respondents to that Kelton poll said they would consider purchasing alternative seafood in the future and most cited flavor as the most important factor in driving consumption, 38% said they anticipate disliking the taste of alternative fish and 27% said they anticipate disliking the texture. Twenty-seven percent said they have never seen plant-based seafood at a grocery store.\n“First and foremost, consumers are going to purchase alternative seafood if it tastes good,” Azoff said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":59,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":808686439,"gmtCreate":1627573814521,"gmtModify":1631893293540,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/808686439","repostId":"1179174010","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1179174010","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":1627572541,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1179174010?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-29 23:29","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Musk confirms Tesla AI Day will be on August 19","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1179174010","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Tesla shares surged more than 5% after Elon Musk confirming Tesla AI Day will be on August 19.Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed via tweet on Thursday that the company is holding an AI Day on Aug. 19.While the company did not provide details of the artificial intelligence event, Musk said in a June 21 tweet that the event \"will go over progress with Tesla AI software & hardware, both training & inference\" and that its purpose is recruiting.The focus of the AI event is likely to be around Tesla's self","content":"<p>Tesla shares surged more than 5%&nbsp;after&nbsp;Elon Musk confirming Tesla AI Day will be on August 19.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d2a827bd1090dddc0ac2adc7e3aa9e60\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed via tweet on Thursday that the company is holding an AI Day on Aug. 19. </p>\n<p>While the company did not provide details of the artificial intelligence event, Musk said in a June 21 tweet that the event \"will go over progress with Tesla AI software &amp; hardware, both training &amp; inference\" and that its purpose is recruiting.</p>\n<p>The focus of the AI event is likely to be around Tesla's self-driving technology.

Investors can rest assured the parks will likely draw visitors for decades more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":300,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806257208,"gmtCreate":1627660345004,"gmtModify":1631893293543,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Whyyy dropping&nbsp;","listText":"Whyyy dropping&nbsp;","text":"Whyyy dropping","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c2aa2116289c69a3da3b95192ff2c0b4","width":"1125","height":"2113"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/806257208","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":368,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":172149399,"gmtCreate":1626946053111,"gmtModify":1631893293530,"author":{"id":"4089287903529910","authorId":"4089287903529910","name":"CLSL","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4089287903529910","authorIdStr":"4089287903529910"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/172149399","repostId":"1149385054","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149385054","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626945470,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149385054?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-22 17:17","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Nvidia Stock Jumped Wednesday","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149385054","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"After a short pullback following Nvidia's recent stock split, investors went right back to bidding u","content":"<blockquote>\n After a short pullback following Nvidia's recent stock split, investors went right back to bidding up the tech titan's shares.\n</blockquote>\n<p><b>What happened</b></p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NVDA\">NVIDIA Corp</a></b> climbed 4.3% on Wednesday, following its 4-for-1 stock split on Tuesday.</p>\n<p><b>So what</b></p>\n<p>Stock splitsdon't change the fundamental value of a business.

However, some experts believe that the move into the cutthroat gaming industry won't pan out for the content platform.</p>\n<p>“This thing is dead on arrival. It will not work,” Michael Pachter, senior analyst at Wedbush, told Yahoo Finance Live. “Have me back and we'll talk about Mike Verdu’s departure and the exit of Netflix in the gaming business.”</p>\n<p>Pachter joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss Netflix’s content strategy in light of this announcement as well as what it means for the broader gaming industry. The push into gaming serves as another indicator that the company may be looking to broaden its avenues for revenue. The news comes after Netflix’s announcement just last week that it hired N'Jeri Eaton, former head of content for Apple Podcasts, to head its own podcast operations.</p>\n<p>In any case, Pachter said that Netflix’s decision to hire Verdu specifically for the role in leading its gaming startup initiative may not have been the best choice.</p>\n<p>“He keeps changing jobs. He is a good game maker, but his last good game was [in] 2001 or so, so I'm really surprised they picked him,” Pachter said. “He's just not the right guy to head up a startup initiative at Netflix. Disney (DIS) has failed at it three times. None of the major companies other than Warner Bros. have had successful games.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8c138f52a1f2a3458f0c08a928bf9160\" tg-width=\"3000\" tg-height=\"2137\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp arrive at the season three premiere of \"Stranger Things\" at Santa Monica High School on Friday, June 28, 2019, in Santa Monica, Calif. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP</p>\n<h3><b>Implications for the gaming industry</b></h3>\n<p>Although the details surrounding what gaming through Netflix will look like have yet to be released, Pachter is skeptical of Netflix’s ability to break into the market and deliver a cohesive product. According to him, there may be a scenario in which Netflix offers a separate remote for purchase in order to play games through the platform, which will make for an incremental purchase for consumers.</p>\n<p>“I really find it odd that Netflix thinks this is going to work,” he added. “What's particularly confusing to me — what are they going to offer? Streaming on your TV? Please tell me how you're going to control the game because your remote control is very limited.

However, some experts believe that the move into the cutthroat gaming industry won't pan out for the content platform.\n“This thing is dead on arrival. It will not work,” Michael Pachter, senior analyst at Wedbush, told Yahoo Finance Live. “Have me back and we'll talk about Mike Verdu’s departure and the exit of Netflix in the gaming business.”\nPachter joined Yahoo Finance Live to discuss Netflix’s content strategy in light of this announcement as well as what it means for the broader gaming industry. The push into gaming serves as another indicator that the company may be looking to broaden its avenues for revenue. The news comes after Netflix’s announcement just last week that it hired N'Jeri Eaton, former head of content for Apple Podcasts, to head its own podcast operations.\nIn any case, Pachter said that Netflix’s decision to hire Verdu specifically for the role in leading its gaming startup initiative may not have been the best choice.\n“He keeps changing jobs. He is a good game maker, but his last good game was [in] 2001 or so, so I'm really surprised they picked him,” Pachter said. “He's just not the right guy to head up a startup initiative at Netflix. Disney (DIS) has failed at it three times. None of the major companies other than Warner Bros. have had successful games.”\nGaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Millie Bobby Brown, Sadie Sink, Finn Wolfhard and Noah Schnapp arrive at the season three premiere of \"Stranger Things\" at Santa Monica High School on Friday, June 28, 2019, in Santa Monica, Calif. (Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP\nImplications for the gaming industry\nAlthough the details surrounding what gaming through Netflix will look like have yet to be released, Pachter is skeptical of Netflix’s ability to break into the market and deliver a cohesive product. According to him, there may be a scenario in which Netflix offers a separate remote for purchase in order to play games through the platform, which will make for an incremental purchase for consumers.\n“I really find it odd that Netflix thinks this is going to work,” he added. “What's particularly confusing to me — what are they going to offer? Streaming on your TV? Please tell me how you're going to control the game because your remote control is very limited. You're not going to be able to aim or shoot or anything like that.”\nPachter believes that because the Netflix initiative will be “such an abstract failure,” it will not pose any threat to established competitors in the gaming space. He pointed to Microsoft (MSFT) with Xbox’s Game Pass as being one of only a few successful subscription-based game services currently on the market, and compared Netflix’s overconfidence to that of Facebook's (FB) when it acquired Oculus.\nAs for what he thinks Netflix may be trying to accomplish in the long term with the push to offer podcasts and video games, Pachter said that it is to become a “comprehensive entertainment solution.” However, he feels that the podcast route makes far more sense for Netflix than dipping their toes into the uncertainty of the video game space.\n“[Netflix subscribers] don't need Netflix to facilitate their exposure to games, so the only value Netflix has is if they [leverage] their own IP [such as] ‘Stranger Things’ or ‘Bridgerton,” Pachter said. “I don't think ‘Bridgerton’ can be a game.
