Its safe to say there will be twists and turns on Wednesday as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is widely expected to adopt a more hawkish stance in his postmeeting news conference Wednesday.</p>\n<p>On display will be \"the limits of Fed hawkishness,\" said David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Funds. Central bankers are often described as either inflation-wary hawks, eager to tighten monetary policy, or more growth-focused doves.</p>\n<p>\"Fed members have displayed their dovish feathers too often at this stage for us to mistake them for a flock of hawks,\" Kelly said.</p>\n<p>It is widely assumed the Fed will double the pace at which it is tapering its bond purchases at the end of the December Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The Fed is also expected to pencil in more rate hikes over the next three years.</p>\n<p>Beyond those important headlines, here's a look at open-ended questions whose answers will be key for economists and investors to understand the Fed's true colors when policy makers conclude their two-day meeting Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Stocks DJIA, -0.89% SPX, -0.91% were lower on Monday ahead of the Fed's decision. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was well below 1.5%.</p>\n<p><b>Could there be a dovish taper?</b></p>\n<p>Steve Englander, head of North American macro strategy at Standard Chartered Bank, sees the possibility of a dovish taper that ends in mid-April.

This statement may sound lucrac&nbsp;is to most Apple stock&nbsp;(<b>AAPL</b>)&nbsp;investors, since the Cupertino company has been a cash-generating machine in the past many years. But even the management team&nbsp;knows&nbsp;this to be true.</p>\n<p>Today, the Apple Maven talks about what has been happening to the iPhone maker’s once giant pile of cash, and what the declining balances may mean for shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Apple heading to net cash neutral</b></p>\n<p>To be fair, “running out of cash” in this context does not mean that Apple’s checking accounts at the bank will dry out. It simply means that the company’s debt balances will roughly offset its cash position — i.e. Apple will become net cash neutral.</p>\n<p>The chart below shows the evolution of Apple’s gross cash (blue bars) and net cash (orange bars) balances since 2011. Ten years ago was when then-CEO Steve Jobs stepped down and turned the control of the company over to then-COO Tim Cook.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/435c5199979bc64d49899feed29d15fb\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"723\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Figure 2:Apple's cash position, fiscal 2012-2021.data from Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Starting in 2012, Apple began issuing debt for the first time in its history. By 2017, the company boasted the largest gross and net-of-debt cash balances that it had ever seen in its books. But since then, both numbers have been dwindling. This year’s $72 billion in net cash is less than half the amount of about four years ago.</p>\n<p><b>What happens when cash runs out?</b></p>\n<p>The chart below shows that, prior to Tim Cook as CEO, Apple was very timid at deploying its cash reserves. While capex and dividend payments increased quickly (large M&amp;A has never been a thing for Apple), buybacks skyrocketed. Apple has spent more than three times as much in share repurchases since 2018 than it did in capex and dividends combined.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e0ecee1dedf8551b616732dc7180c574\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"694\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Figure 3:Apple's cash deployment by major category.data from Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>As Apple’s cash balance continues to dip, it is reasonable to expect the pace of share retirement to decline as well. This is true not only because of a leaner balance sheet, but because AAPL stock trades at a much richer price today — thus, it costs Apple more to buy back each share of its own equity.</p>\n<p>Why is this relevant for investors? Over the past decade, Apple’s shares outstanding have declined by 10 billion units to 16.7 billion. Share count is the denominator in EPS (earnings per share) and EPS is the denominator in price-to-earnings. Therefore, buybacks alone have probably been responsible for a good chunk of Apple stock’s climb in the past several years.</p>\n<p>At the current stock price of $165 apiece, Apple can afford to retire around 435 million more shares with its current net cash balance, or barely 3% of the float. After that point, the Cupertino company might need to scale back on repurchases or borrow in order to keep buying its stock.</p>\n<p><b>Should investors worry?</b></p>\n<p>I think that Apple stock could suffer, at least from deteriorated investor sentiment, if or once it begins to slow down the pace of its share buyback efforts. However, I also believe that this is only one aspect of the investment thesis that people should consider.</p>\n<p>I remain optimistic about Apple stock from a business fundamentals perspective.

Today reminded us exactl","content":"<p>Good news for public health can sometimes mean bad news for vaccine stocks. Today reminded us exactly why. After more than a week of ominous reports on the omicron virus and mounting speculation about its severity, yesterday brought some welcome news. Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House chief medical officer and a trusted expert on the virus, stated yesterday that some clear preliminary data was finally starting to emerge on the severity of the new variant and that so far, the results looked“encouraging.”</p>\n<p>What’s Happening With Vaccine Stocks</p>\n<p>Since news of the new variant first began dominating media airwaves, vaccine producers have been scrambling to be the first to address the new Covid-19 strain that threatened to undo the work that sent their stocks up earlier this year. Today has seen all the prominent names among vaccine stocks plunge across the board. While this isn’t strictly due to Dr. Fauci’s comments, it’s possible that the demand for new vaccine innovations and treatments may not be as great as we feared only a few days ago.</p>\n<p><b>BioNTech</b>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<b><u>BNTX</u></b>) has suffered the worst declines of the day among vaccine stocks, with shares down almost 19% as of this writing. Next in line is&nbsp;<b>Moderna</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>MRNA</u></b>), which has fallen more than 13%. Then,&nbsp;<b>Novavax’s</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NVAX</u></b>)declines come in just shy of 12%. Rounding out the pack is&nbsp;<b>Pfizer</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PFE</u></b>), which is in the red by just over 5% as trading winds to a close today.</p>\n<p>Why It Matters</p>\n<p>The clearest indication we should take from today’s events is that market mentality is shifting. This is evidenced by the performances we’ve seen not just from vaccine stocks but from other sectors that were differently affected by the spreading variant news. As&nbsp;<i>InvestorPlace’</i>s Shrey Dua reports,&nbsp;cruise ship stocks&nbsp;such as&nbsp;<b>Royal Caribbean</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RCL</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Carnival</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CCL</u></b>) are back in the green today after a troubling week of variant concerns. The same can be said for airline stocks, as names such as&nbsp;<b>Delta</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>DAL</u></b>) and&nbsp;<b>Southwest</b>&nbsp;(NYSE:<b><u>LUV</u></b>) have gained some altitude today.</p>\n<p>Of course, it’s too soon to tell what the future will look like. The preliminary results upon which Dr. Fauci commented are exactly that — preliminary. Scientists and medical researchers still have plenty of research to do before they will be able outline a bigger picture. Dr. Fauci was careful to add that while there does not seem to be a “great degree of severity” to the spreading variant, it is still too early for any definitive conclusions to be reached. Omicron is still very much a variant of concern.</p>\n<p>What It Means</p>\n<p>Even if the variant does not end up posing as serious a threat to highly vaccinated countries as has been speculated, the need for vaccines isn’t going to go away. Fear of the variant has spiked&nbsp;demand&nbsp;for vaccinations in the U.S., and many countries are still struggling to get more of their populations partially or fully vaccinated. The industry landscape may not end up looking quite as bleak close to home as some of us have feared.

Today reminded us exactly why. After more than a week of ominous reports on the omicron virus and mounting speculation about its severity, yesterday brought some welcome news. Dr. Anthony Fauci, White House chief medical officer and a trusted expert on the virus, stated yesterday that some clear preliminary data was finally starting to emerge on the severity of the new variant and that so far, the results looked“encouraging.”\nWhat’s Happening With Vaccine Stocks\nSince news of the new variant first began dominating media airwaves, vaccine producers have been scrambling to be the first to address the new Covid-19 strain that threatened to undo the work that sent their stocks up earlier this year. Today has seen all the prominent names among vaccine stocks plunge across the board. While this isn’t strictly due to Dr. Fauci’s comments, it’s possible that the demand for new vaccine innovations and treatments may not be as great as we feared only a few days ago.\nBioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) has suffered the worst declines of the day among vaccine stocks, with shares down almost 19% as of this writing. Next in line is Moderna(NASDAQ:MRNA), which has fallen more than 13%. Then, Novavax’s(NASDAQ:NVAX)declines come in just shy of 12%. Rounding out the pack is Pfizer(NYSE:PFE), which is in the red by just over 5% as trading winds to a close today.\nWhy It Matters\nThe clearest indication we should take from today’s events is that market mentality is shifting. This is evidenced by the performances we’ve seen not just from vaccine stocks but from other sectors that were differently affected by the spreading variant news. As InvestorPlace’s Shrey Dua reports, cruise ship stocks such as Royal Caribbean(NYSE:RCL) and Carnival(NYSE:CCL) are back in the green today after a troubling week of variant concerns. The same can be said for airline stocks, as names such as Delta (NYSE:DAL) and Southwest (NYSE:LUV) have gained some altitude today.\nOf course, it’s too soon to tell what the future will look like. The preliminary results upon which Dr. Fauci commented are exactly that — preliminary. Scientists and medical researchers still have plenty of research to do before they will be able outline a bigger picture. Dr. Fauci was careful to add that while there does not seem to be a “great degree of severity” to the spreading variant, it is still too early for any definitive conclusions to be reached. Omicron is still very much a variant of concern.\nWhat It Means\nEven if the variant does not end up posing as serious a threat to highly vaccinated countries as has been speculated, the need for vaccines isn’t going to go away. Fear of the variant has spiked demand for vaccinations in the U.S., and many countries are still struggling to get more of their populations partially or fully vaccinated. The industry landscape may not end up looking quite as bleak close to home as some of us have feared. However, that doesn’t mean that the demand for vaccines won’t be increasing throughout the months ahead.\nThis news certainly doesn’t mean that a bearish play on vaccine stocks is advisable. Far from it, in fact. Novavax has an important catalyst rapidly approaching as the World Health Organization (WHO) considers granting it emergency use authorization. More than likely, vaccine stocks will be quick to rebound.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":804,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":608677459,"gmtCreate":1638743546560,"gmtModify":1638743546560,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100579111105400","authorIdStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/608677459","repostId":"2189557676","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":471,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":608677459,"gmtCreate":1638743546560,"gmtModify":1638743546560,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/608677459","repostId":"2189557676","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":471,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699478615,"gmtCreate":1639884513794,"gmtModify":1639884513910,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesomee👍","listText":"Awesomee👍","text":"Awesomee👍","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699478615","repostId":"2192903795","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2192903795","pubTimestamp":1639880431,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2192903795?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-19 10:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Growth Stocks to Buy Now for 2022","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2192903795","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Can these five stock picks boost your 2022 gains?","content":"<p>Today, I provide five growth stocks that I think will perform well in 2022 and beyond.

Its safe to s","content":"<p>There are limits to how hawkish a dove can be</p>\n<p>A pivot is defined as a turn or a twist. Its safe to say there will be twists and turns on Wednesday as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is widely expected to adopt a more hawkish stance in his postmeeting news conference Wednesday.</p>\n<p>On display will be \"the limits of Fed hawkishness,\" said David Kelly, chief global strategist at JPMorgan Funds. Central bankers are often described as either inflation-wary hawks, eager to tighten monetary policy, or more growth-focused doves.</p>\n<p>\"Fed members have displayed their dovish feathers too often at this stage for us to mistake them for a flock of hawks,\" Kelly said.</p>\n<p>It is widely assumed the Fed will double the pace at which it is tapering its bond purchases at the end of the December Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The Fed is also expected to pencil in more rate hikes over the next three years.</p>\n<p>Beyond those important headlines, here's a look at open-ended questions whose answers will be key for economists and investors to understand the Fed's true colors when policy makers conclude their two-day meeting Wednesday.</p>\n<p>Stocks DJIA, -0.89% SPX, -0.91% were lower on Monday ahead of the Fed's decision. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note was well below 1.5%.</p>\n<p><b>Could there be a dovish taper?</b></p>\n<p>Steve Englander, head of North American macro strategy at Standard Chartered Bank, sees the possibility of a dovish taper that ends in mid-April. At the moment, economists expect the Fed to reduce bond purchases by $30 billion a month, rather than the current $15 billion a month pace. Doubling the pace of the taper would end purchases altogether by mid-March. Englander argued that reducing purchases by $25 billion a month would gain the most support. The resulting mid-April end to purchases would be dovish because \"the faster the taper, the faster investors are likely to expect subsequent [rate] hikes,\" said Englander, in a note to clients.</p>\n<p><b>What's the forecast for next year?</b></p>\n<p>Markets will key on what the Fed projects for the economy in 2022, according to Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA. The Fed now sees the economy expanding at a 3.8% rate next year, and this could be revised lower. Inflation is forecast to drop to 2.2% in 2022. This should be raised. The Fed's forecast for the unemployment rate -- also at 3.8% -- should hold steady, he said. Ricchiuto said that how much the Fed revises inflation up next year will be key for what the market will discount for rate hikes next year. At the moment, markets are discounting about 2 1/2 rate hikes next year. How these projections are revised \"will lead to a lot of conclusions about whether or not, in the market's mind-set, two [rate hikes] becomes three or three [rate hikes] becomes four.\"</p>\n<p><b>Goodbye 'transitory,' hello...?</b></p>\n<p>Powell has signaled that the Fed is going to delete the word \"transitory.\" How will the Fed describe the inflation outlook? Neil Dutta, head of economics at Renaissance Macro, believes the Fed will simply say inflation is \"elevated\" but not try to explain it away. Ricchiuto thinks Powell will try to describe inflation as a \"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a>-time permanent adjustment in prices that doesn't become an annual event.\" Michael Gapen, chief U.S. economist at Barclays, thinks the Fed will settle on \"persistent.\" At the November Fed press conference, Powell said: \"certainly we should see inflation moving down by the second or third quarter.\"</p>\n<p>See: El-Erian says Fed use of 'transitory' to describe inflation was its worst call ever</p>\n<p><b>How many rate hikes exactly?</b></p>\n<p>In September, the Fed's so-called dot plot, which tracks individual policy makers' expectations for future rate moves, penciled in a total of six hikes by the end of 2024, bringing its benchmark rate up to 1.8%. Analysts now expect the Fed to boost the number of rate hikes up to a total of nine over the same period. That would place the median dot close to the Fed's assessment of the neutral rate of 2.5% -- where Fed policy is neither helping the economy expand or trying to slow it down.</p>\n<p><b>Any change in the forward guidance about rate hikes?</b></p>\n<p>An open question is whether the Fed will feel the need to change the language that set out conditions for the first rate increase. Ricchiuto thinks it is too soon for the Fed to change the guidance.

Over the past decade, Apple’s shares outstanding have declined by 10 billion units to 16.7 billion.

However, I also believe that this is only one aspect of the investment thesis that people should consider.</p>\n<p>I remain optimistic about Apple stock from a business fundamentals perspective. The Cupertino company seems to have found the sweet spot in demand for its products and services, which I believe bodes very well for AAPL in the foreseeable future.</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>Apple Stock: What Happens When The Cash Runs Out?</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\">\nApple Stock: What Happens When The Cash Runs Out?\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-08 11:26 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.thestreet.com/apple/stock/apple-stock-what-happens-when-the-cash-runs-out><strong>TheStreet</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple is about to run out of cash.

Therefore, buybacks alone have probably been responsible for a good chunk of Apple stock’s climb in the past several years.\nAt the current stock price of $165 apiece, Apple can afford to retire around 435 million more shares with its current net cash balance, or barely 3% of the float. After that point, the Cupertino company might need to scale back on repurchases or borrow in order to keep buying its stock.\nShould investors worry?\nI think that Apple stock could suffer, at least from deteriorated investor sentiment, if or once it begins to slow down the pace of its share buyback efforts. However, I also believe that this is only one aspect of the investment thesis that people should consider.\nI remain optimistic about Apple stock from a business fundamentals perspective. The Cupertino company seems to have found the sweet spot in demand for its products and services, which I believe bodes very well for AAPL in the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":921,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":606141366,"gmtCreate":1638846619760,"gmtModify":1638846619760,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/606141366","repostId":"1165217690","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":804,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691433845,"gmtCreate":1640226173779,"gmtModify":1640226173904,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691433845","repostId":"1119859400","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1042,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":690058510,"gmtCreate":1639615972570,"gmtModify":1639615972691,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/690058510","repostId":"1192557604","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"1192557604","pubTimestamp":1639488210,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1192557604?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-14 21:23","market":"us","language":"en","title":"4 Stocks Insiders Are Selling","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1192557604","media":"Benzinga","summary":"Tesla\n\nThe Trade:Tesla, Inc. CEO Elon Musk disposed a total of 169111 shares at an average price of ","content":"<p><b>Tesla</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>The Trade:Tesla, Inc.</b>&nbsp;CEO Elon Musk&nbsp;<i>disposed a total of 169111 shares</i>&nbsp;at an average price of $992.27.

However, I also believe that this is only one aspect of the investment thesis that people should consider.\nI remain optimistic about Apple stock from a business fundamentals perspective. The Cupertino company seems to have found the sweet spot in demand for its products and services, which I believe bodes very well for AAPL in the foreseeable future.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":929,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":699656203,"gmtCreate":1639795625701,"gmtModify":1639795625781,"author":{"id":"4100579111105400","authorId":"4100579111105400","name":"y3o","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"4100579111105400","idStr":"4100579111105400"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Awesome","listText":"Awesome","text":"Awesome","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/699656203","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1704,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
