It's gone from teetering on the brink of bankruptcy in early January to being valued at $23 billion, as of business close on July 7.</p>\n<p>At the heart of this rally are AMC's passionate army of retail investors, collectively known as \"apes\" -- an homage to <i>Rise of the Planet of the Apes</i>, where leader Caesar infers that apes are stronger together. This might sound like a feel-good story whereby retail is finally exacting its revenge on Wall Street, but the reality is that AMC has become a battleground pump-and-dump scheme driven higher almost entirely by the misinformation and lies spread by its retail investors.</p>\n<p>While I've previously covered some aspects of the misinformation campaign used as the foundation for the rally in AMC's stock, below are the eight most pervasive lies that have fueled this pump-and-dump scheme.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 1: Hedge fund short-selling bankrupts companies</h2>\n<p>The whopper of all lies exchanged on message boards and via YouTube is the idea that hedge fund short-selling is somehow responsible for bankrupting businesses.</p>\n<p>The reality is that the operating performance of a company determines whether or not it thrives or goes under. There are plenty of companies whose share prices are under $1 that aren't bankrupt, and there are companies with share prices north of $1 that ultimately file for bankruptcy protection. Investors who choose to buy or short-sell stock are simply betting on an outcome. They don't control or influence how well or poorly the underlying business performs.</p>\n<p>Put another way, if I buy $1 billion worth of <b>Apple</b>&nbsp;stock tomorrow, I might help lift its share price, but I've not improved its sales or profit potential <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> iota. Likewise, if I short-sell Apple's stock tomorrow, I haven't hurt its sales potential or profitability at all. Why would this hypothetical scenario be any different with AMC? Hint: It's not.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 2: Shorts have to cover</h2>\n<p>Another dose of misinformation from AMC's apes is that short sellers of the stock have to cover. Specifically, apes are implying that there's some level of urgency here and that the disorder from excessive covering will lead to the \"mother of all short squeezes.\"</p>\n<p>The truth is that short-sellers \"have to cover\" as much as apes \"have\" to sell their position. In other words, short-sellers can cover their position at their leisure.</p>\n<p>What's more, hedge fund assets under management jumped to $4.07 trillion in June 2021, according to BarclayHedge. For short-covering to be disorderly, a massive wave of margin calls would need to come into play. Since the vast majority of hedge funds are diversified, and they have well over $4 trillion in assets in their sails, the chance of a margin call wave forcing short covering is virtually nonexistent.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 3: The short squeeze is coming/around the corner</h2>\n<p>Just as they teach every salesperson, creating a sense of urgency with customers (i.e., potential new investors) is important. Apes are constantly hyping the idea that a short squeeze is imminent, or at worst right around the corner. Unfortunately, it's been five months since this ongoing claim began making its rounds, and there's nothing these retail folks can say to substantiate it.</p>\n<p>Aside from an institutional investor/hedge fund margin call wave being <i>highly</i> unlikely, history has also showed that short squeeze candidates have a poor track record of success. Earlier this year, I looked at the trailing three-month returns of 114 stocks with short interest above 20% and a market cap of at least $300 million. Only 9 of 114 stocks had gained 10% or more, while 94 of 114 had a negative three-month return.</p>\n<p>Apes need fresh capital to keep this pump-and-dump scheme going, but the data clearly shows that short squeezes rarely pay off.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 4: Fundamentals don't matter</h2>\n<p>AMC's retail investors are also quick to dismiss anything having to do with concrete fundamental data. Whether it's the company's operating performance, industry ticket-sale trends, or AMC's balance sheet, they'll proudly proclaim it as FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) and remind you this isn't a fundamental play. They do this because AMC's operating performance and balance sheet are nothing short of a horror movie, and they damage the misinformation campaign being put forward on social media and YouTube.</p>\n<p>I'll let you in on an investing secret that tenured investors know: Fundamentals always matter. Purposefully telling new investors to ignore fundamentals is like telling a used car buyer not to inspect the engine and just trust that everything is OK.</p>\n<p>For instance, social media was buzzing about <b>Washington Prime Group</b>'s short squeeze potential over the weekend of June 12 and 13. The company filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night (June 13), halving investors' stakes the following morning. The engine (fundamentals) drives the car; not the other way around.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 5: Hedge funds control the mainstream media</h2>\n<p>AMC's apes need to create the impression that anything negative said about their company's stock on television, radio, the internet, or print can't possibly be true, and telling the lie that hedge funds control the mainstream media (MSM) is the easiest way to accomplish that task. Again, this pump-and-dump scam needs fresh capital to keep moving higher, therefore presenting the media as evil is an easy way to try to rally new investors to the retail cause.</p>\n<p>But, as is all-too-common with the ape agenda, it's devoid of fact.</p>\n<p>It just so happens that Harvard University provided a painstakingly thorough look at MSM ownership for 176 of the most influential media companies/outlets in May 2021. The findings? Only five of the 176 outlets are controlled or majority-controlled by private hedge funds. Apes simply hate hearing bad things said about AMC and will go to any lengths necessary to obfuscate those facts, including lying about MSM.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 6: \"You're obviously short\"</h2>\n<p>To build on the previous point, AMC's impassioned retail investors will also claim inherent ownership biases in the anchors, guests, authors, and so on, who rail against their stock. This is necessary to help recruit fresh capital to their cause by trying to create an \"us vs. them\" mentality.</p>\n<p>To offer an example, I've personally been told on social media many dozens of times that I'm \"obviously short\" or \"clearly losing a lot of money\" because of the journalistic position I've taken on AMC. While I can't speak for any other company, I can proudly claim that my stock holdings are public information, and they're updated daily if I make a move. To boot, article disclosures state any positions I, and my company, have for any stock mentioned. This <i>includes</i> short positions, as well as any options ownership. The icing on the cake is that I also publicly announce my trading activity on <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TWTR\">Twitter</a></b>.</p>\n<p>Despite this transparent information, apes constantly and falsely insinuate a financial interest when none exists.</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 7: BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC stock is bullish</h2>\n<p>This is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> I find particularly amusing, because apes are more than willing to welcome institutional investors with open arms <i>if</i> they happen to own shares of AMC.</p>\n<p>Retail investors regularly use <b>BlackRock</b>'s and Vanguard's ownership of AMC stock as a reason to promote optimism. However, this tells only a fraction of the real story. BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the largest institutional investment firms in the country, based on assets under management. As of their mid-May 13F filings, which detailed their holdings for the first quarter, BlackRock had close to 5,000 positions, with Vanguard chiming in with more than 4,000 positions. During Q1, BlackRock and Vanguard added to more than 3,900 and 3,200 of these stakes, respectively.</p>\n<p>Put another way, BlackRock and Vanguard have so many product offerings that they have a stake in virtually every stock listed in an index. Saying that BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC is bullish is akin to saying you bought shares of <b>Ford</b>&nbsp;stock because you like red paint.</p>\n<p>As a percentage of shares outstanding, hedge fund <i>and</i> overall institutional ownership in AMC fell during the first quarter from the sequential fourth quarter. That's a fact!</p>\n<h2>Lie No. 8: Apes saved AMC</h2>\n<p>The eighth and final mammoth lie that AMC's retail investors rely on to coerce community compliance and bring in fresh capital is the idea that apes saved AMC. These folks genuinely believe that by purchasing shares of AMC they've somehow saved the company from going bankrupt.</p>\n<p>As I discussed with the first lie on this list, buying and selling stock has absolutely no influence on how well or poorly a company performs from an operating standpoint. Even if apes were to buy every share in existence, AMC could still go bankrupt if its operating performance doesn't improve. And based on its 2027 bonds trading well below par, bondholders aren't convinced that things will improve enough to save the company.</p>\n<p>What really saves companies from bankruptcy is their operating performance and the actions of management. In AMC's case, selling hundreds of millions of shares of stock an issuing high-interest debt last year and in early January gave it the financial lifeline needed to survive the worst of the pandemic. That's not apes saving AMC; that's the company's actions extending a lifeline.</p>\n<p>If anything, apes are purposely harming AMC by tying the hands of CEO Adam Aron and shooting down any additional opportunities for the company to raise capital and shore up its balance sheet.</p>\n<p>If this list of lies shows anything, it's the lengths apes will go to manipulate AMC's share price. However, history is very clear that all pump-and-dump schemes end in disaster. That's not FUD. It's a practical guarantee.</p>\n<p>Caveat emptor.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>8 Lies That Have Fueled the AMC Entertainment Pump-and-Dump Scheme</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\">\n8 Lies That Have Fueled the AMC Entertainment Pump-and-Dump Scheme\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-07-12 21:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/07/12/8-lies-that-fueled-the-amc-pump-and-dump-scheme/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>There's arguably been no hotter stock on the planet in 2021 than movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC).

They do this because AMC's operating performance and balance sheet are nothing short of a horror movie, and they damage the misinformation campaign being put forward on social media and YouTube.\nI'll let you in on an investing secret that tenured investors know: Fundamentals always matter. Purposefully telling new investors to ignore fundamentals is like telling a used car buyer not to inspect the engine and just trust that everything is OK.\nFor instance, social media was buzzing about Washington Prime Group's short squeeze potential over the weekend of June 12 and 13. The company filed for bankruptcy protection late Sunday night (June 13), halving investors' stakes the following morning. The engine (fundamentals) drives the car; not the other way around.\nLie No. 5: Hedge funds control the mainstream media\nAMC's apes need to create the impression that anything negative said about their company's stock on television, radio, the internet, or print can't possibly be true, and telling the lie that hedge funds control the mainstream media (MSM) is the easiest way to accomplish that task. Again, this pump-and-dump scam needs fresh capital to keep moving higher, therefore presenting the media as evil is an easy way to try to rally new investors to the retail cause.\nBut, as is all-too-common with the ape agenda, it's devoid of fact.\nIt just so happens that Harvard University provided a painstakingly thorough look at MSM ownership for 176 of the most influential media companies/outlets in May 2021. The findings? Only five of the 176 outlets are controlled or majority-controlled by private hedge funds. Apes simply hate hearing bad things said about AMC and will go to any lengths necessary to obfuscate those facts, including lying about MSM.\nLie No. 6: \"You're obviously short\"\nTo build on the previous point, AMC's impassioned retail investors will also claim inherent ownership biases in the anchors, guests, authors, and so on, who rail against their stock. This is necessary to help recruit fresh capital to their cause by trying to create an \"us vs. them\" mentality.\nTo offer an example, I've personally been told on social media many dozens of times that I'm \"obviously short\" or \"clearly losing a lot of money\" because of the journalistic position I've taken on AMC. While I can't speak for any other company, I can proudly claim that my stock holdings are public information, and they're updated daily if I make a move. To boot, article disclosures state any positions I, and my company, have for any stock mentioned. This includes short positions, as well as any options ownership. The icing on the cake is that I also publicly announce my trading activity on Twitter.\nDespite this transparent information, apes constantly and falsely insinuate a financial interest when none exists.\nLie No. 7: BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC stock is bullish\nThis is one I find particularly amusing, because apes are more than willing to welcome institutional investors with open arms if they happen to own shares of AMC.\nRetail investors regularly use BlackRock's and Vanguard's ownership of AMC stock as a reason to promote optimism. However, this tells only a fraction of the real story. BlackRock and Vanguard are two of the largest institutional investment firms in the country, based on assets under management. As of their mid-May 13F filings, which detailed their holdings for the first quarter, BlackRock had close to 5,000 positions, with Vanguard chiming in with more than 4,000 positions. During Q1, BlackRock and Vanguard added to more than 3,900 and 3,200 of these stakes, respectively.\nPut another way, BlackRock and Vanguard have so many product offerings that they have a stake in virtually every stock listed in an index. Saying that BlackRock and Vanguard buying AMC is bullish is akin to saying you bought shares of Ford stock because you like red paint.\nAs a percentage of shares outstanding, hedge fund and overall institutional ownership in AMC fell during the first quarter from the sequential fourth quarter. That's a fact!\nLie No. 8: Apes saved AMC\nThe eighth and final mammoth lie that AMC's retail investors rely on to coerce community compliance and bring in fresh capital is the idea that apes saved AMC. These folks genuinely believe that by purchasing shares of AMC they've somehow saved the company from going bankrupt.\nAs I discussed with the first lie on this list, buying and selling stock has absolutely no influence on how well or poorly a company performs from an operating standpoint. Even if apes were to buy every share in existence, AMC could still go bankrupt if its operating performance doesn't improve. And based on its 2027 bonds trading well below par, bondholders aren't convinced that things will improve enough to save the company.\nWhat really saves companies from bankruptcy is their operating performance and the actions of management. In AMC's case, selling hundreds of millions of shares of stock an issuing high-interest debt last year and in early January gave it the financial lifeline needed to survive the worst of the pandemic. That's not apes saving AMC; that's the company's actions extending a lifeline.\nIf anything, apes are purposely harming AMC by tying the hands of CEO Adam Aron and shooting down any additional opportunities for the company to raise capital and shore up its balance sheet.\nIf this list of lies shows anything, it's the lengths apes will go to manipulate AMC's share price. However, history is very clear that all pump-and-dump schemes end in disaster. That's not FUD. It's a practical guarantee.\nCaveat emptor.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":143793517,"gmtCreate":1625815486139,"gmtModify":1633937044676,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Sure or not?","listText":"Sure or not?","text":"Sure or not?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/143793517","repostId":"1119741032","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1119741032","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625803532,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1119741032?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-09 12:05","market":"us","language":"en","title":"5 Blue Chip Stocks to Buy With Huge Dividends as Interest Rates Plunge","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1119741032","media":"24/7 wall street","summary":"Just last month, we were being warned that interest rates were ready to move meaningfully higher as ","content":"<p><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JE\">Just</a> last month, we were being warned that interest rates were ready to move meaningfully higher as inflation and the Federal Reserve were teaming up to end the massive low interest rate paradigm we have been stuck in for years.

It's a major player in streaming with the success of Disney+ and Hulu. Its 10-figure acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm give it an unmatched catalog of intellectual property. Disney's theme parks are the most visited gated attractions in the world.</p>\n<p>Disney hit an all-time high just above $203 four months ago, fueled by the success of Disney+ and the market anticipating a reopening of the economy. It has given back some of those gains, and now tradesnearly 15% awayfrom revisiting that high-water mark.</p>\n<p>It's hard to bet against Disney. Disney+ has been around for less than two years, and it has already topped 100 million subscribers. Disney films routinely top box office reports, and now that folks are returning to the multiplex, theme park, and eventually cruise ship, Disney is everywhere families will be in the near future.</p>\n<p><b>DocuSign</b></p>\n<p>The pandemic made in-office signing of contracts, leases, and other important documents a thing of the past, and there's no going back to wet signatures now. DocuSign has emerged as a niche leader in this booming field, and unlike many companies that thrived through the COVID-19 crisis it's easy to see DocuSign continuing to grow in the next phase of humanity's recovery.</p>\n<p>DocuSign has evolved into a full digital documents management specialist, and the growth has been stellar. Revenue rose 39% and then 49% in its last two fiscal years, and the 58% increase it posted in its latest report is its headiest growth as a public company.</p>\n<p>This isn't just a top-line growth story. DocuSign is now profitable, and it has beaten Wall Street's profit target by at least 57% in each of the past quarters. The stock peaked in the fall of last year, butit's been rallyingto the point that it's just a good trading day away or two from setting a new high.</p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PATH\">UiPath</a></b></p>\n<p>Finally we have to talk about UiPath. Wood added to her UiPath position in three of ARK Invest's ETFs.

ARK Invest's Cathie Wood is seeing her exchange-traded funds (ETFs)bounce back in recent weeks, regaining the momentum that made her high-growth investing style the envy of fund managers in 2020.\nShe's been shopping for bargains these days, and with her strong track record she may have found some this week. On Tuesday she increased her positions inWalt Disney(NYSE: DIS),DocuSign(NASDAQ: DOCU), andUiPath(NYSE: PATH). Let's take a closer look at her shopping list.Image source: Walt Disney.\nWalt Disney\nDisney isn't a name investors typically associate with Wood's aggressive growth style of investing, but there's no denying that the House of Mouse can be disruptive. It's a major player in streaming with the success of Disney+ and Hulu. Its 10-figure acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm give it an unmatched catalog of intellectual property. Disney's theme parks are the most visited gated attractions in the world.\nDisney hit an all-time high just above $203 four months ago, fueled by the success of Disney+ and the market anticipating a reopening of the economy. It has given back some of those gains, and now tradesnearly 15% awayfrom revisiting that high-water mark.\nIt's hard to bet against Disney. Disney+ has been around for less than two years, and it has already topped 100 million subscribers. Disney films routinely top box office reports, and now that folks are returning to the multiplex, theme park, and eventually cruise ship, Disney is everywhere families will be in the near future.\nDocuSign\nThe pandemic made in-office signing of contracts, leases, and other important documents a thing of the past, and there's no going back to wet signatures now. DocuSign has emerged as a niche leader in this booming field, and unlike many companies that thrived through the COVID-19 crisis it's easy to see DocuSign continuing to grow in the next phase of humanity's recovery.\nDocuSign has evolved into a full digital documents management specialist, and the growth has been stellar. Revenue rose 39% and then 49% in its last two fiscal years, and the 58% increase it posted in its latest report is its headiest growth as a public company.\nThis isn't just a top-line growth story. DocuSign is now profitable, and it has beaten Wall Street's profit target by at least 57% in each of the past quarters. The stock peaked in the fall of last year, butit's been rallyingto the point that it's just a good trading day away or two from setting a new high.\nUiPath\nFinally we have to talk about UiPath. Wood added to her UiPath position in three of ARK Invest's ETFs. UiPath isn't a household name, but it's a name that growth investors are warming up to as a leading provider of enterprise software for robotics and automation.\nUiPath has been public forless than three months, but it's been a wild ride. UiPath went public at $56, peaking at $90 in May before falling back to the high $60s. UiPath is living up to the initial hype with its growth. UiPath's top line rose 65% in its latest quarter, and that follows an 81% top-line pop in fiscal 2021. UiPath is the only name on this list that isn't profitable these days, but the ceiling remains high for the company.\nWood knows what she's doing. It's good to always keep an eye on what she's buying.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":140216778,"gmtCreate":1625661110994,"gmtModify":1633938642718,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Don't like my comment please","listText":"Don't like my comment please","text":"Don't like my comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/140216778","repostId":"1194568539","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":293,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":157322839,"gmtCreate":1625567652721,"gmtModify":1633939583730,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"dont like my comment please","listText":"dont like my comment please","text":"dont like my comment please","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/157322839","repostId":"1145795655","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":155155915,"gmtCreate":1625392961637,"gmtModify":1633940980496,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"I say buy","listText":"I say buy","text":"I say buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/155155915","repostId":"1130764181","repostType":2,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":366,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":155158226,"gmtCreate":1625392680965,"gmtModify":1631886033110,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Paypal stealing idea...","listText":"Paypal stealing idea...","text":"Paypal stealing idea...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/155158226","repostId":"2148807554","repostType":2,"repost":{"id":"2148807554","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1625325960,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2148807554?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-03 23:26","market":"us","language":"en","title":"PayPal takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2148807554","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"MW PayPal takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.\n\n\n  By Emily Bary \n\n\n  The payment","content":"<html><body><font class=\"NormalMinus1\" face=\"Arial\">\n<p>\nMW <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.\n</p>\n<p>\n  By Emily Bary \n</p>\n<p>\n  The payments giant is making a bigger push into in-store commerce \n</p>\n<p>\n  PayPal Holdings Inc. plans a challenge to Square Inc. as it launches a physical card reader in the U.S. \n</p>\n<p>\n  The move represents the latest attempt by PayPal (PYPL) to take a bite of in-store commerce, following its introduction of QR-code payments for its mobile-wallet users  last year.

The timing of the Zettle launch \"probably couldn't have been better with the reemergence of face-to-face [commerce],\" he continued. \n</p>\n<p>\n  PayPal is also hoping to expand its reach to physical-first merchants, with Magats noting that perhaps a third of U.S. small- and medium-sized businesses don't have a sales presence on the web. By creating interoperability on back-office functions like inventory and order management, Magats expects that PayPal can appeal to some of these brick-and-mortar sellers that may wish to eventually expand online but don't want the complications of dealing with two or three providers across the different selling channels. \n</p>\n<p>\n  The merchants that participated in PayPal's beta rollout of the Zettle reader previously used point-of-sale offerings from companies including Square and Toast, according to Magats. He said <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> feature that resonated with those in the beta group was that PayPal's offering played well with the merchants' existing accounting, order management and other back-office systems. \n</p>\n<p>\n  \"You don't have to rip and replace existing infrastructure,\" he said. \n</p>\n<p>\n  PayPal will sell merchants their first Zettle card reader for $29 and offer an option to buy additional readers for $79 apiece. The readers will work with consumer hardware like iPads and iPhones as well as some existing point-of-sale hardware that a merchant may have. The Zettle rate in the U.S. for card transactions will be 2.29% plus 9 cents at launch. \n</p>\n<p>\n  \"We believe we're more competitive on the basics with Zettle on pricing, availability, and speed of funds, as well as interoperability,\" Magats said. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Square lists a standard processing fee of 2.6% plus 10 cents for card payments made through traditional methods like swiping or tapping. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Eventually PayPal's goal is to drive connections between its merchant offerings and its vast network of about 150 million U.S. consumers who use either the PayPal or Venmo mobile wallets. Magats suggested that the company could ultimately tap into the \"community aspect of Venmo\" as a \"demand generator\" for Zettle merchants or introduce loyalty offerings focused on local businesses. \n</p>\n<p>\n  Square recently began linking its Cash App mobile wallet with its merchant business, making it so shoppers who earn rewards from Square sellers can manage those rewards from within the Cash App. The move won praise from analysts . \n</p>\n<p>\n  -Emily Bary; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com \n</p>\n<pre>\n \n</pre>\n<p>\n  <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/END\">$(END)$</a> Dow Jones Newswires\n</p>\n<p>\n  July 03, 2021 11:26 ET (15:26 GMT)\n</p>\n<p>\n  Copyright (c) 2021 Dow Jones &amp; Company, Inc.\n</p>\n</font></body></html>","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>PayPal takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.</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\">\nPayPal takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<div class=\"head\" \">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\n<p class=\"h-name\">Dow Jones </p>\n<p class=\"h-time\">2021-07-03 23:26</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><body><font class=\"NormalMinus1\" face=\"Arial\">\n<p>\nMW <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a> takes on Square with launch of card readers in the U.S.\n</p>\n<p>\n  By Emily Bary \n</p>\n<p>\n  The payments giant is making a bigger push into in-store commerce \n</p>\n<p>\n  PayPal Holdings Inc. plans a challenge to Square Inc. as it launches a physical card reader in the U.S. \n</p>\n<p>\n  The move represents the latest attempt by PayPal (PYPL) to take a bite of in-store commerce, following its introduction of QR-code payments for its mobile-wallet users  last year.

With the card reader, called Zettle, the company sees opportunities to create a more unified experience for merchants that already use its services online as well as to establish loyalty tie-ins with the PayPal mobile wallet. \n\n\n  The U.S. launch of PayPal's card reader comes about three years after PayPal acquired iZettle  already offer card readers in addition to online payment capabilities, but PayPal is betting that some of its online customers will want to conduct their in-person and digital sales all with the same provider, especially as physical retail bounces back. \n\n\n  Many merchants are \"trying to straddle the three different dimensions of commerce,\" PayPal's senior vice president for omnichannel commerce Jim Magats told MarketWatch, referring to mobile, online and in-store sales. The timing of the Zettle launch \"probably couldn't have been better with the reemergence of face-to-face [commerce],\" he continued. \n\n\n  PayPal is also hoping to expand its reach to physical-first merchants, with Magats noting that perhaps a third of U.S. small- and medium-sized businesses don't have a sales presence on the web. By creating interoperability on back-office functions like inventory and order management, Magats expects that PayPal can appeal to some of these brick-and-mortar sellers that may wish to eventually expand online but don't want the complications of dealing with two or three providers across the different selling channels. \n\n\n  The merchants that participated in PayPal's beta rollout of the Zettle reader previously used point-of-sale offerings from companies including Square and Toast, according to Magats. He said one feature that resonated with those in the beta group was that PayPal's offering played well with the merchants' existing accounting, order management and other back-office systems. \n\n\n  \"You don't have to rip and replace existing infrastructure,\" he said. \n\n\n  PayPal will sell merchants their first Zettle card reader for $29 and offer an option to buy additional readers for $79 apiece. The readers will work with consumer hardware like iPads and iPhones as well as some existing point-of-sale hardware that a merchant may have. The Zettle rate in the U.S. for card transactions will be 2.29% plus 9 cents at launch. \n\n\n  \"We believe we're more competitive on the basics with Zettle on pricing, availability, and speed of funds, as well as interoperability,\" Magats said. \n\n\n  Square lists a standard processing fee of 2.6% plus 10 cents for card payments made through traditional methods like swiping or tapping. \n\n\n  Eventually PayPal's goal is to drive connections between its merchant offerings and its vast network of about 150 million U.S. consumers who use either the PayPal or Venmo mobile wallets. Magats suggested that the company could ultimately tap into the \"community aspect of Venmo\" as a \"demand generator\" for Zettle merchants or introduce loyalty offerings focused on local businesses. \n\n\n  Square recently began linking its Cash App mobile wallet with its merchant business, making it so shoppers who earn rewards from Square sellers can manage those rewards from within the Cash App. The move won praise from analysts . \n\n\n  -Emily Bary; 415-439-6400; AskNewswires@dowjones.com \n\n\n \n\n\n$(END)$ Dow Jones Newswires\n\n\n  July 03, 2021 11:26 ET (15:26 GMT)\n\n\n  Copyright (c) 2021 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":379,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152215649,"gmtCreate":1625296002781,"gmtModify":1633941626312,"author":{"id":"3584161011431512","authorId":"3584161011431512","name":"superpopo","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3584161011431512","idStr":"3584161011431512"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"U must, I am inside already","listText":"U must, I am inside already","text":"U must, I am inside already","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/152215649","repostId":"1146176335","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1146176335","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1625277627,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1146176335?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-03 10:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Can Alibaba Turn Around Its Woes in the Second Half of 2021?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1146176335","media":"The Street","summary":"Alibaba has been a sore laggard compared with its large- and mega-cap peers.
