fund dubious reopening plays like General Electric (GE) and Nucor (NUE). As a result, Amazon has lagged the market year-to-date and is now trading at an attractive valuation.</p>\n<p>Although Amazon's revenue and EPS has benefited tremendously from COVID, free cash flow has not. After the current spending cycle winds down, Amazon seems poised to experience an explosion of free cash flow by 2022 and 2023. After all, it is the cash that the company gets to keep for investors that makes the company powerful and investors rich.</p>\n<p><b>COVID Beneficiary</b></p>\n<p>Amazon has been a massive beneficiary of COVID. The company generated $386 billion of revenue in 2020, up 37.6% y/y. This Amazon's fastest growth rate since 2011, even including the inorganic contribution to growth in 2017 and 2018 when it acquired Whole Foods. Amazingly, the last time the company grew faster was in 2011 when the company generated \"only\" $48 billion in revenue. Who said elephants can't dance?</p>\n<p>In 2020, Amazon's e-commerce businesses experienced accelerated revenue growth:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>3rd Party Seller Services increased 49.6% to $80.4 billion.</li>\n <li>Online stores increased 39.7% to $197 billion.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>In 2020, the company's other businesses continued to decelerate, though likely at a lower deceleration than without COVID:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Subscription Services grew 31.2% y/y $25.2 billion, a 4.4% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.1% point deceleration the prior year.</li>\n <li>AWS grew 29.5% to $45.4 billion, a 7% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.5% point deceleration the prior year.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Physical stores, not surprisingly, is the only business that got hurt by COVID, declining 5.6% to $16.2 billion. A 5.6% decline isn't even that bad, and this business is a drop in the bucket given Amazon's total revenue of $489 billion in 2020.</p>\n<p>The COVID benefits largely extended into 2021 as consensus estimates put 2021 revenue growth at a robust 26.9% on top of tough comps.</p>\n<p>The company saw an even bigger increase in accounting profits. Operating income expanded to 5.9% in 2020, a 70 bps y/y expansion. It is important to note that excluding one-time $11.5 billion COVID-related expenses in 2020, Amazon's operating margin would have been 8.9% rather than the reported 5.9%.</p>\n<p>GAAP EPS grew an incredible 81.8% y/y to $41.83 per share.</p>\n<p><b>Where Is My Money?</b></p>\n<p>Although revenue grow 37.6% y/y and EPS grew 81.8% y/y in 2020, free cash flow growth lagged materially, growing only 20.1% y/y. 2021 is expected to be worse, with free cash flow expected to grow only 16.9%, just half the growth rate of its expected EPS growth that year.</p>\n<p>This because capital expenditure (\"Capex\") increased an incredible 176% y/y in 2020 to over $35 billion. This the largest y/y growth since at least 2007. In terms of absolute numbers, 2020 deployed an incremental $22 billion- an absolutely mind-boggling amount. Capex is expected to remain elevated in 2021, growing another 16% y/y to $41 billion.</p>\n<p>On top of all this spending, the company, on May 26, Amazon announced the acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.45 billion. I can see conservative, old-school investors' heads about to explode- but relax.</p>\n<p><b>The Spending and Free Cash Flow Cycle</b></p>\n<p>In my 2017 article,<i>Amazon Bears Will Get Crushed</i>, I addressed the same investor concern that Amazon is spending too much money, although the spending is at a much, much greater scale today.</p>\n<p>Back in 2017, investors were worried about Amazon's ramped up investments. In a nutshell, my argument was that investors should differentiate between investments going after large opportunities and a bloated cost structure. Generally speaking, unexpected expenses are bad, and - assuming that you trust management's ability - unexpected investments are good. If Warren Buffett said, \"I thought I was going to deploy $20 billion, but an opportunity came up where I can deploy $60 billion\", investors would be ecstatic. That opportunity, for Amazon, was the COVID-induced surge in demand.</p>\n<p>Relax, a surge in spending tends to be followed by years of moderate spending growth. After my 2017 article was published, 2018 and 2019 saw Capex growth of only 12-13% per year, while free cash flow grew 132% y/y in 2018 and 33% in 2019.</p>\n<p>We can see the same cycle in the 2010 - 2015 period. In 2010, Capex surged 163% y/y, then another 85% in 2011, and another 109% in 2012. Looking back, these were puny numbers in the low-single-digit of billions per year of Capex, which of course played a key role in supporting Amazon's future growth. However, in the subsequent three years, 2013 through 2015, Capex grew only 21%-<i>cumulatively</i>.</p>\n<p>By 2015, free cash flow exploded 276% to $7.3 billion, higher than the highest the company has ever generated until then by a factor of two to three.</p>\n<p>Wall Street is expecting the same cycle to play out this time around. In 2022, free cash flow is expected to grow 58% y/y as Capex growth moderates to +3%. In 2023, free cash flow is expected to grow another 44% to a record $82.6 billion as Capex growth is expected to remain low at +2% y/y.</p>\n<p><b>The Market Opportunity</b></p>\n<p>Some investors may take a little more convincing to get comfortable with those huge projected free cash flow numbers. $83 billion of free cash flow by 2023 is almost three times its 2020's free cash flow of $31 billion- already its highest ever. And an incremental $22 billion of Capex deployed in 2020 is a massive number.</p>\n<p>The market opportunity, however, is much more massive.</p>\n<p>Amazon's share of US e-commerce is approximately 50%. That is high, but the US retail market is sized at over $5 trillion, and Amazon has around a 9% share of the entire retail market, and only 3.3% of consumer spending. The company is poised to gain share as it adds greater convenience, more competitive prices and greater selection.</p>\n<p>Amazon is aggressively going after the much larger global retail market, which is sized at approximately $25 trillion. Amazon's expected 2021 revenue of $490 billion is less than 2% of the global opportunity.</p>\n<p>A large portion of Amazon's increase in Capex went to expanding the infrastructure necessary to meet the surge in e-commerce demand. For example, in 2020, Amazon grew its fulfillment square footage by 50% y/y.</p>\n<p>Another areas of spending is to support AWS, which is Capex intensive but highly profitable. At just 12% of 2020's revenue, AWS accounted for over 50% of the company's operating income.</p>\n<p>The global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $371.4 billion in 2020 to $832.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 17.5%. Amazon's AWS generated $59 billion of revenue in 2020 and is expected to grow 31% in 2021 and 25% in 2023. This means AWS has less than 20% market share and is expected to take market share going forward.</p>\n<p>If Amazon has an opportunity to deploy more capital to support this highly profitable and rapidly growing business, thatis all great news to me.</p>\n<p>Management does not tell us exactly how the Capex is allocated and what the returns could look like. I don't think it is possible as an outsider to estimate the expected return of the incremental investments in retail (e-commerce, physical stores, subscription, etc.) vs. business services (AWS, advertising, etc.), because it would require that we analyze the company as separate businesses.</p>\n<p>Amazon is one giant flywheel that cannot be separated into partsany more than you can separate a turtle from its shell. For example, without the traffic generated by its retail business, advertising would not be possible. This obvious. Less obvious is that fact that AWS began as an e-commerce tool, way before it became the public cloud company giant it is today. And although seemingly different on the surface, both Amazon.com and AWS are at its core IT infrastructure platforms at scale. In addition, Amazon's other major initiatives, such as Alexa and streaming, are joined at the hip with e-commerce by Prime membership.</p>\n<p>But we do know one thing: the opportunity for continued growth is massive.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation</b></p>\n<p>Like most growth stocks, Amazon lagged the market so far this year, and valuation is looking attractive.</p>\n<p>Currently, Amazon is trading at 52 times forward EPS, down from 112 times in July 2020.

As a result, Amazon has lagged the market year-to-date and is now trading at an attractive valuation.\nAlthough Amazon's revenue and EPS has benefited tremendously from COVID, free cash flow has not. After the current spending cycle winds down, Amazon seems poised to experience an explosion of free cash flow by 2022 and 2023. After all, it is the cash that the company gets to keep for investors that makes the company powerful and investors rich.\nCOVID Beneficiary\nAmazon has been a massive beneficiary of COVID. The company generated $386 billion of revenue in 2020, up 37.6% y/y. This Amazon's fastest growth rate since 2011, even including the inorganic contribution to growth in 2017 and 2018 when it acquired Whole Foods. Amazingly, the last time the company grew faster was in 2011 when the company generated \"only\" $48 billion in revenue. Who said elephants can't dance?\nIn 2020, Amazon's e-commerce businesses experienced accelerated revenue growth:\n\n3rd Party Seller Services increased 49.6% to $80.4 billion.\nOnline stores increased 39.7% to $197 billion.\n\nIn 2020, the company's other businesses continued to decelerate, though likely at a lower deceleration than without COVID:\n\nSubscription Services grew 31.2% y/y $25.2 billion, a 4.4% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.1% point deceleration the prior year.\nAWS grew 29.5% to $45.4 billion, a 7% point y/y deceleration vs. a 10.5% point deceleration the prior year.\n\nPhysical stores, not surprisingly, is the only business that got hurt by COVID, declining 5.6% to $16.2 billion. A 5.6% decline isn't even that bad, and this business is a drop in the bucket given Amazon's total revenue of $489 billion in 2020.\nThe COVID benefits largely extended into 2021 as consensus estimates put 2021 revenue growth at a robust 26.9% on top of tough comps.\nThe company saw an even bigger increase in accounting profits. Operating income expanded to 5.9% in 2020, a 70 bps y/y expansion. It is important to note that excluding one-time $11.5 billion COVID-related expenses in 2020, Amazon's operating margin would have been 8.9% rather than the reported 5.9%.\nGAAP EPS grew an incredible 81.8% y/y to $41.83 per share.\nWhere Is My Money?\nAlthough revenue grow 37.6% y/y and EPS grew 81.8% y/y in 2020, free cash flow growth lagged materially, growing only 20.1% y/y. 2021 is expected to be worse, with free cash flow expected to grow only 16.9%, just half the growth rate of its expected EPS growth that year.\nThis because capital expenditure (\"Capex\") increased an incredible 176% y/y in 2020 to over $35 billion. This the largest y/y growth since at least 2007. In terms of absolute numbers, 2020 deployed an incremental $22 billion- an absolutely mind-boggling amount. Capex is expected to remain elevated in 2021, growing another 16% y/y to $41 billion.\nOn top of all this spending, the company, on May 26, Amazon announced the acquisition of MGM Studios for $8.45 billion. I can see conservative, old-school investors' heads about to explode- but relax.\nThe Spending and Free Cash Flow Cycle\nIn my 2017 article,Amazon Bears Will Get Crushed, I addressed the same investor concern that Amazon is spending too much money, although the spending is at a much, much greater scale today.\nBack in 2017, investors were worried about Amazon's ramped up investments. In a nutshell, my argument was that investors should differentiate between investments going after large opportunities and a bloated cost structure. Generally speaking, unexpected expenses are bad, and - assuming that you trust management's ability - unexpected investments are good. If Warren Buffett said, \"I thought I was going to deploy $20 billion, but an opportunity came up where I can deploy $60 billion\", investors would be ecstatic. That opportunity, for Amazon, was the COVID-induced surge in demand.\nRelax, a surge in spending tends to be followed by years of moderate spending growth. After my 2017 article was published, 2018 and 2019 saw Capex growth of only 12-13% per year, while free cash flow grew 132% y/y in 2018 and 33% in 2019.\nWe can see the same cycle in the 2010 - 2015 period. In 2010, Capex surged 163% y/y, then another 85% in 2011, and another 109% in 2012. Looking back, these were puny numbers in the low-single-digit of billions per year of Capex, which of course played a key role in supporting Amazon's future growth. However, in the subsequent three years, 2013 through 2015, Capex grew only 21%-cumulatively.\nBy 2015, free cash flow exploded 276% to $7.3 billion, higher than the highest the company has ever generated until then by a factor of two to three.\nWall Street is expecting the same cycle to play out this time around. In 2022, free cash flow is expected to grow 58% y/y as Capex growth moderates to +3%. In 2023, free cash flow is expected to grow another 44% to a record $82.6 billion as Capex growth is expected to remain low at +2% y/y.\nThe Market Opportunity\nSome investors may take a little more convincing to get comfortable with those huge projected free cash flow numbers. $83 billion of free cash flow by 2023 is almost three times its 2020's free cash flow of $31 billion- already its highest ever. And an incremental $22 billion of Capex deployed in 2020 is a massive number.\nThe market opportunity, however, is much more massive.\nAmazon's share of US e-commerce is approximately 50%. That is high, but the US retail market is sized at over $5 trillion, and Amazon has around a 9% share of the entire retail market, and only 3.3% of consumer spending. The company is poised to gain share as it adds greater convenience, more competitive prices and greater selection.\nAmazon is aggressively going after the much larger global retail market, which is sized at approximately $25 trillion. Amazon's expected 2021 revenue of $490 billion is less than 2% of the global opportunity.\nA large portion of Amazon's increase in Capex went to expanding the infrastructure necessary to meet the surge in e-commerce demand. For example, in 2020, Amazon grew its fulfillment square footage by 50% y/y.\nAnother areas of spending is to support AWS, which is Capex intensive but highly profitable. At just 12% of 2020's revenue, AWS accounted for over 50% of the company's operating income.\nThe global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $371.4 billion in 2020 to $832.1 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 17.5%. Amazon's AWS generated $59 billion of revenue in 2020 and is expected to grow 31% in 2021 and 25% in 2023. This means AWS has less than 20% market share and is expected to take market share going forward.\nIf Amazon has an opportunity to deploy more capital to support this highly profitable and rapidly growing business, thatis all great news to me.\nManagement does not tell us exactly how the Capex is allocated and what the returns could look like. I don't think it is possible as an outsider to estimate the expected return of the incremental investments in retail (e-commerce, physical stores, subscription, etc.) vs. business services (AWS, advertising, etc.), because it would require that we analyze the company as separate businesses.\nAmazon is one giant flywheel that cannot be separated into partsany more than you can separate a turtle from its shell. For example, without the traffic generated by its retail business, advertising would not be possible. This obvious. Less obvious is that fact that AWS began as an e-commerce tool, way before it became the public cloud company giant it is today. And although seemingly different on the surface, both Amazon.com and AWS are at its core IT infrastructure platforms at scale. In addition, Amazon's other major initiatives, such as Alexa and streaming, are joined at the hip with e-commerce by Prime membership.\nBut we do know one thing: the opportunity for continued growth is massive.\nValuation\nLike most growth stocks, Amazon lagged the market so far this year, and valuation is looking attractive.\nCurrently, Amazon is trading at 52 times forward EPS, down from 112 times in July 2020. The stock is trading at a 140% premium to the S&P 500, the lowest in 5 years.\nOn free cash flow yield, Amazon is yielding 2.6% forward free cash flow, which is towards the low end of its 5-year range. If we believe in the Capex and free cash flow cycle, the stock looks attractively valued.\nTakeaway\nAlthough Amazon benefited from COVID-induced shutdowns, the best is yet to come for free cash flow. After lagging the market, the company is trading at an attractive valuation given the large growth opportunities ahead of it, and the potential explosion in free cash flow in 2022 and 2023.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":713,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":111020666,"gmtCreate":1622645033455,"gmtModify":1634099614400,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow ","listText":"Wow ","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/111020666","repostId":"1116680979","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116680979","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"全球第五大财经门户网站Investing.com中国官方微信,提供全球各国海量金融资讯和实时行情数据,包括股票股指、外汇、期货、基金、债券、加密货币等。关注全球金融市场动态的投资者千万不可错过。","home_visible":1,"media_name":"英为财情Investing","id":"92","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/406e2b4996e14cd8a66a2a6864ef4313"},"pubTimestamp":1622643015,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1116680979?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-02 22:10","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Want To Invest In Gaming?

Shares of the company, ","content":"<p><b>Roblox</b>(NYSE:RBLX) stock has been getting increased attention in recent days. Shares of the company, which is behind the gaming app of the same name, made their Wall Street debut on Mar. 10, opening just shy of $65. Roblox is currently hovering at $95.74.</p>\n<p>The gaming platform depends on individual developers to create content. Analysts highlight that as a social media and gaming platform, Roblox could see considerable growth in the coming quarters.</p>\n<p>Therefore, potential investors might want to include the stock in their growth portfolio. However, buying 100 shares of RBLX stock would cost around $9,560, a considerable investment for many people.</p>\n<p>Some investors prefer to put together a \"poor person's covered call\" on the stock instead. Therefore, today we introduce a diagonal debit spread on RBLX by using LEAPS options. Such a strategy is sometimes used to replicate a covered call position at a considerably lower cost.</p>\n<p>Investors who are new to options might want to-revisit our previous articles on LEAPS options (for example,hereandhere) first, before reading further.</p>\n<p><b>A Diagonal Debit Spread On RBLX Stock</b></p>\n<p><b>Current Price:</b>$95.74</p>\n<p><b>52-Week Range:</b>$60.50 - $98.95</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29fd3d4c61c948a2d2723da571214088\" tg-width=\"2542\" tg-height=\"1164\"><span>Roblox Weekly Chart</span></p>\n<p>LEAPS stands for \"Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities.” Readers might also see websites referring to them as LEAP options or LEAPs.</p>\n<p>Investors who believe in the long-run growth potential of underlying assets, such as Roblox stock, could consider using LEAPS options, which are long-dated, usually one to two years till expiration.</p>\n<p>Investors like LEAPS as they “cost less” than stocks, as they are offered at option contract prices.</p>\n<p>A trader first buys a “longer-term” call with a lower strike price. At the same time, the trader sells a “shorter-term” call with a higher strike price, creating a long diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In other words, the call options for the underlying stock have different strikes and different expiration dates. The trader goes long one option and shorts the other to make a diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In this LEAPS covered call strategy, both the profit potential and risk are limited. The trader establishes the position for a net debit (or cost). The net debit represents the maximum loss.</p>\n<p>Most traders entering such a strategy would be mildly bullish on the underlying security—here, Roblox.</p>\n<p>Instead of buying 100 shares of Roblox, the trader would buy a deep-in-the-money LEAPS call option, where that LEAPS call acts as a “surrogate” for owning the Roblox stock.</p>\n<p>As we write on Tuesday afternoon, Roblox stock is $95.60. Therefore, for this post, we'll use this price.</p>\n<p>For the first leg of this strategy, the trader might buy a deep in-the-money (ITM) LEAPS call, such as the RBLX Jan. 20, 2023, 65-strike call option. This option is currently offered at $44.90 (mid-point of the current bid and ask spread). In other words, it would cost the trader $4,490 instead of $9,560 to own this call option that expires in over one and a half years.</p>\n<p>The delta of this option is about 0.80. Delta shows the amount an option’s price is expected to move based on a $1 change in the underlying security.</p>\n<p>In this example, if Roblox stock goes up $1, to $96.60, the current option price of $44.90 would be expected to increase by approximately 80 cents, based on a delta of 0.80. However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>So an option’s delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).</p>\n<p>For the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This option’s current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.</p>\n<p>There are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.</p>\n<p>Different brokers or online websites might offer “profit and loss calculators” for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a “guesstimate” for a break-even point.</p>\n<p><b>Maximum Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>The maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.</p>\n<p>In other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.</p>\n<p>In our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs. (We arrived at this value using a profit and loss calculator online).</p>\n<p>Without the use of such a calculator, we could also arrive at an approximate dollar value. Let’s take a look:</p>\n<p>The option seller (i.e., the trader) received $1,283 for the sold option.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the underlying RBLX stock increased from $95.60 to $100. This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.</p>\n<p>Because the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)</p>\n<p>The total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.</p>\n<p>Understandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.</p>\n<p>Therefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the trader’s potential return is leveraged.</p>\n<p>Put another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.</p>\n<p>Ideally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless). Then, the trader can sell one call after the other, until the long LEAPS call expires in about a year and half.</p>\n<p><b>Position Management</b></p>\n<p>Active position management in a diagonal debit spread is typically more difficult for novice traders.</p>\n<p>If RBLX is above $100 on Aug. 20, the position will make less than the potential maximum return as the short-dated option will start losing money.</p>\n<p>Then, the trader might feel the need to close the trade early if the RBLX price shoots up and the short call gets caught deep ITM. In that case, the trader might need to close the entire trade and start over, or put together alternative option strategies.</p>\n<p>In a regular covered call, the trader might not necessarily mind being assigned the short option as s/he owns 100 shares of RBLX as well. However, in a poor person’s covered call, the trader would not necessarily want to be assigned the short call as s/he does not actually own those RBLX shares yet.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 20, this LEAPS covered call trade would, in theory, also start losing money if the RBLX stock price falls to about $81 or below. However, the actual break-even point could be different as there are different variables that affect the price of an option.

Shares of the company, which is behind the gaming app of the same name, made their Wall Street debut on Mar. 10, opening just shy of $65. Roblox is currently hovering at $95.74.</p>\n<p>The gaming platform depends on individual developers to create content. Analysts highlight that as a social media and gaming platform, Roblox could see considerable growth in the coming quarters.</p>\n<p>Therefore, potential investors might want to include the stock in their growth portfolio. However, buying 100 shares of RBLX stock would cost around $9,560, a considerable investment for many people.</p>\n<p>Some investors prefer to put together a \"poor person's covered call\" on the stock instead. Therefore, today we introduce a diagonal debit spread on RBLX by using LEAPS options. Such a strategy is sometimes used to replicate a covered call position at a considerably lower cost.</p>\n<p>Investors who are new to options might want to-revisit our previous articles on LEAPS options (for example,hereandhere) first, before reading further.</p>\n<p><b>A Diagonal Debit Spread On RBLX Stock</b></p>\n<p><b>Current Price:</b>$95.74</p>\n<p><b>52-Week Range:</b>$60.50 - $98.95</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/29fd3d4c61c948a2d2723da571214088\" tg-width=\"2542\" tg-height=\"1164\"><span>Roblox Weekly Chart</span></p>\n<p>LEAPS stands for \"Long-Term Equity Anticipation Securities.” Readers might also see websites referring to them as LEAP options or LEAPs.</p>\n<p>Investors who believe in the long-run growth potential of underlying assets, such as Roblox stock, could consider using LEAPS options, which are long-dated, usually one to two years till expiration.</p>\n<p>Investors like LEAPS as they “cost less” than stocks, as they are offered at option contract prices.</p>\n<p>A trader first buys a “longer-term” call with a lower strike price. At the same time, the trader sells a “shorter-term” call with a higher strike price, creating a long diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In other words, the call options for the underlying stock have different strikes and different expiration dates. The trader goes long one option and shorts the other to make a diagonal spread.</p>\n<p>In this LEAPS covered call strategy, both the profit potential and risk are limited. The trader establishes the position for a net debit (or cost). The net debit represents the maximum loss.</p>\n<p>Most traders entering such a strategy would be mildly bullish on the underlying security—here, Roblox.</p>\n<p>Instead of buying 100 shares of Roblox, the trader would buy a deep-in-the-money LEAPS call option, where that LEAPS call acts as a “surrogate” for owning the Roblox stock.</p>\n<p>As we write on Tuesday afternoon, Roblox stock is $95.60. Therefore, for this post, we'll use this price.</p>\n<p>For the first leg of this strategy, the trader might buy a deep in-the-money (ITM) LEAPS call, such as the RBLX Jan. 20, 2023, 65-strike call option. This option is currently offered at $44.90 (mid-point of the current bid and ask spread). In other words, it would cost the trader $4,490 instead of $9,560 to own this call option that expires in over one and a half years.</p>\n<p>The delta of this option is about 0.80. Delta shows the amount an option’s price is expected to move based on a $1 change in the underlying security.</p>\n<p>In this example, if Roblox stock goes up $1, to $96.60, the current option price of $44.90 would be expected to increase by approximately 80 cents, based on a delta of 0.80. However, the actual change might be slightly more or less depending on several other factors that are beyond the scope of this article.</p>\n<p>So an option’s delta increases as one goes deeper into the money. Traders would use deep ITM LEAPS strikes because as delta approaches 1, a LEAPS option's price moves begin to mirror that of the underlying stock. In simple terms, a delta of 0.80 would be like owning 80 shares of RBLX in this example (as opposed to 100 in a regular covered call).</p>\n<p>For the second leg of this strategy, the trader sells an out-of-the-money (OTM) short-term call, like the RBLX Aug. 20, 2021, 100-strike call option. This option’s current premium is $12.83. In other words, the option seller would receive $1,283, excluding trading commissions.</p>\n<p>There are two expiration dates in the strategy, making it quite difficult to give an exact formula for a break-even point in this trade.</p>\n<p>Different brokers or online websites might offer “profit and loss calculators” for such a trade setup. Calculating the value of back-month (i.e., LEAPS call) when the front-month (i.e., the shorter-dated) call option expires requires a pricing model to get a “guesstimate” for a break-even point.</p>\n<p><b>Maximum Profit Potential</b></p>\n<p>The maximum potential is realized if the stock price is equal to the strike price of the short call on the expiration date of the short call.</p>\n<p>In other words, the trader wants the RBLX stock price to remain as close to the strike price of the short option (i.e., $100 here) as possible at expiration (on Aug. 20, 2021), without going above it.</p>\n<p>In our example, the maximum return, in theory, would be about $1,553 at a price of $100.00 at expiry, excluding trading commissions and costs. (We arrived at this value using a profit and loss calculator online).</p>\n<p>Without the use of such a calculator, we could also arrive at an approximate dollar value. Let’s take a look:</p>\n<p>The option seller (i.e., the trader) received $1,283 for the sold option.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the underlying RBLX stock increased from $95.60 to $100. This is a difference of $4.40 per share of RBLX, or $440 for 100 shares.</p>\n<p>Because the delta of the long LEAPS option is taken as 0.8, the value of the long option will in theory increase by $440X 0.8 = $352 (However, in practice, it might be more or less than this value.)</p>\n<p>The total of $1,283 and $352 comes to $1,635. Although it is not the same as $1,553, we can regard it as a good approximate value.</p>\n<p>Understandably, if the strike price of our long option had been different (i.e., not $65.00), its delta would have been different, too. Then we need to use that delta value to arrive at the approximate final profit or loss value.</p>\n<p>Therefore, by not investing $9,560 initially in 100 shares of RBLX, the trader’s potential return is leveraged.</p>\n<p>Put another way, the premium the trader initially receives for selling the shorter-dated call option (i.e., $1,283) represents a higher percentage of the initial investment of $4,490 than if the trader bought 100 shares of RBLX outright at $9,560.</p>\n<p>Ideally, the trader hopes the short call will expire out-of-the money (worthless). Then, the trader can sell one call after the other, until the long LEAPS call expires in about a year and half.</p>\n<p><b>Position Management</b></p>\n<p>Active position management in a diagonal debit spread is typically more difficult for novice traders.</p>\n<p>If RBLX is above $100 on Aug. 20, the position will make less than the potential maximum return as the short-dated option will start losing money.</p>\n<p>Then, the trader might feel the need to close the trade early if the RBLX price shoots up and the short call gets caught deep ITM. In that case, the trader might need to close the entire trade and start over, or put together alternative option strategies.</p>\n<p>In a regular covered call, the trader might not necessarily mind being assigned the short option as s/he owns 100 shares of RBLX as well. However, in a poor person’s covered call, the trader would not necessarily want to be assigned the short call as s/he does not actually own those RBLX shares yet.</p>\n<p>On Aug. 20, this LEAPS covered call trade would, in theory, also start losing money if the RBLX stock price falls to about $81 or below. However, the actual break-even point could be different as there are different variables that affect the price of an option. Understandably, a stock's price could drop to $0, decreasing the value of the long call with it.</p>\n<p>Finally, we must also remind readers that deep ITM LEAPS options tend to have high bid/ask spreads.

However, Palantir has seen a nice rise in recent days, trading significantly higher than May 13 lows around $18 per share. It will open this morning above $22. Accordingly, traders looking for a swing trade may be enticed by this stock in this environment.</p>\n<p>The company has got its own set of catalysts that have taken PLTR stock on a nice ride of late. Let’s dive into what’s going on with Palantir right now.</p>\n<p>Bitcoin Mania and PLTR Stock</p>\n<p>On May 11, Palantirreportedrelatively strong earnings. Quarterly revenue was up by 49% year-over-year, and the company’s bottom line met analyst expectations. These decent numbers are a catalyst, in their own right.</p>\n<p>However, the big takeaway retail investors have gotten excited about from the company’s earnings report had nothing to do with its backward-looking numbers.</p>\n<p>On the company’searnings call, CFO Dave Glazer provided some intriguing commentary on the company’s plans around investing in, or potentially accepting as payment, <b>Bitcoin</b>(CCC:<b><u>BTC-USD</u></b>).</p>\n<p>Palantir was co-foundedby Peter Thiel, an investor with a bullish outlook on crypto, and it appears the company’s CFO has taken a similarly bullish stance on the idea of utilizing Bitcoin moving forward.</p>\n<p>The company’s comments on this front were rather vague. Glazer noted the company was “open for business” with respect to adding some Bitcoin exposure as a treasury investment. For crypto bulls, that’s all the company needed to say.</p>\n<p>Indeed, if Palantir does add some crypto to its balance sheet, it wouldn’t be the first high-profile company to do so of late. <b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>) CEOElon Muskrecently made a large $1.5 billion bet on Bitcoin, and other companies have followed.</p>\n<p>It appears Palantir’s management team is either very bullish on crypto or pandering to its retail investor base. In either case, as long as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to rise, Palantir stands to benefit right now.</p>\n<p>Bottom Line</p>\n<p>Palantir continues to be a stock that fits the profile of the meme stock investor today. The company’s looking to attract more young, millennial, crypto-savvy investors with its policies.

However, Palantir has seen a nice rise in recent days, trading significantly higher than May 13 lows around $18 per share. It will open this morning above $22. Accordingly, traders looking for a swing trade may be enticed by this stock in this environment.\nThe company has got its own set of catalysts that have taken PLTR stock on a nice ride of late. Let’s dive into what’s going on with Palantir right now.\nBitcoin Mania and PLTR Stock\nOn May 11, Palantirreportedrelatively strong earnings. Quarterly revenue was up by 49% year-over-year, and the company’s bottom line met analyst expectations. These decent numbers are a catalyst, in their own right.\nHowever, the big takeaway retail investors have gotten excited about from the company’s earnings report had nothing to do with its backward-looking numbers.\nOn the company’searnings call, CFO Dave Glazer provided some intriguing commentary on the company’s plans around investing in, or potentially accepting as payment, Bitcoin(CCC:BTC-USD).\nPalantir was co-foundedby Peter Thiel, an investor with a bullish outlook on crypto, and it appears the company’s CFO has taken a similarly bullish stance on the idea of utilizing Bitcoin moving forward.\nThe company’s comments on this front were rather vague. Glazer noted the company was “open for business” with respect to adding some Bitcoin exposure as a treasury investment. For crypto bulls, that’s all the company needed to say.\nIndeed, if Palantir does add some crypto to its balance sheet, it wouldn’t be the first high-profile company to do so of late. Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA) CEOElon Muskrecently made a large $1.5 billion bet on Bitcoin, and other companies have followed.\nIt appears Palantir’s management team is either very bullish on crypto or pandering to its retail investor base. In either case, as long as cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin continue to rise, Palantir stands to benefit right now.\nBottom Line\nPalantir continues to be a stock that fits the profile of the meme stock investor today. The company’s looking to attract more young, millennial, crypto-savvy investors with its policies. It appears PLTR stock still has somecachetin social media circles right now.\nAdditionally, Palantir’s business model is also attractive to older, more conservative growth investors. The company’sbusiness modelrelies on big government contracts. The revenue provided from such contracts has proven to be stable and has grown substantially over the years.\nAdditionally, as big data becomes more of a problem for government agencies, the actionable insights Palantir can provide will become more valuable.\nThe company has grown its revenue by nearly-50% these past two quarters on a year-over-year business. While Palantir’slosses continue to be massiveand the company’s balance sheet leaves something to be desired, it’s the revenue growth number that has long-term growth investors enticed with PLTR stock.\nIndeed, if Palantir can grow into its valuation, it could be a great stock here.\nRisks certainly do exist with this stock. Personally, I don’t like the company’s fundamentals. Until Palantir is profitable ( or leaning toward being profitable) I’m out. But I can understand why investors may be enticed by PLTR stock right now.\nOn the date of publication, Chris MacDonald did not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to the InvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":567,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":131637735,"gmtCreate":1621853710827,"gmtModify":1634186086475,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/131637735","repostId":"1173244066","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1173244066","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621004086,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1173244066?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-14 22:54","market":"us","language":"en","title":"What Disney, Airbnb and DoorDash results reveal about the post-pandemic economy","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1173244066","media":"CNN","summary":"London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver ","content":"<p>London (CNN Business)Companies are gearing up for an era in which Covid-19 isn't the primary driver of how people spend their money.</p>\n<p>The big question: As the coronavirus situation improves in countries like the United States, which trends from the past 14 months will have staying power, and which will be resigned to the pandemic past?</p>\n<p>Airbnb, DoorDash and Disney (DIS), which reported results after US markets closed on Thursday, provide some idea.</p>\n<p>Airbnb: The company said interest in travel is surging again as vaccines become more widely available, pointing to a sharp increase in bookings in the United Kingdom immediately after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced plans in February to gradually exit lockdown.

That's grabbed interest from both amateur and professional investors looking to cash in on spectacular returns.\nTarget previously was limiting card purchases to just one item a day, saying that guests were lining up overnight to get their hands on hot items, per CNN affiliate WISN.\nWalmart (WMT), for its part, said it will keep selling cards in stores for now.\n\"We are determining what, if any, changes are needed to meet customer demand while ensuring a safe and enjoyable shopping experience,\" a spokesperson said in a statement.\nUp next\nData on US retail sales, import and export prices and industrial production arrives at 8:30 a.m. ET.\nComing next week: Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW) report earnings as the housing market booms.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":470,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":198422889,"gmtCreate":1620983097141,"gmtModify":1634194789101,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow ","listText":"Wow ","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/198422889","repostId":"1150860680","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":708,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":191749325,"gmtCreate":1620910601367,"gmtModify":1634195371171,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[LOL] [LOL] [LOL] ","listText":"[LOL] [LOL] [LOL] ","text":"[LOL] [LOL] [LOL]","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/647a5d486e462347eae6d4c8d0401194","width":"1125","height":"3213"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/191749325","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":689,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":199646468,"gmtCreate":1620702585554,"gmtModify":1634196969530,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okie thanks ","listText":"Okie thanks ","text":"Okie thanks","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/47040b1de9558a8400c55547ae18b407","width":"1125","height":"3134"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/199646468","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":834,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":105852717,"gmtCreate":1620291869439,"gmtModify":1634206334812,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"MCD gg","listText":"MCD gg","text":"MCD gg","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3faf630b8ed79ae1455b414d254c7e8f","width":"1125","height":"2963"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/105852717","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":386,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":102261522,"gmtCreate":1620218819866,"gmtModify":1631883954842,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Best Buy ","listText":"Best Buy ","text":"Best Buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/102261522","repostId":"1115203133","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1115203133","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1620178775,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1115203133?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-05 09:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why is dogecoin’s price spiking?

This year, however, the 90-year-old Buffett is taking the meeting to Los Angeles so he can be by 97-year-old Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger’s side once again. Munger resides in Los Angeles and missed the last annual meeting due to travel restrictions. It will be the first time that the annual meeting will take place outside of Omaha, Nebraska.While “Woodstock for Capitalists” will be missing the capitalists once again, the tone of the meeting may more likely resemble the meetings of old with shareholders clamoring for Buffett’s outlook on the world following an unprecedented year and the Oracle more likely to oblige after holding back last year with the country just starting its fight through the deadly and uncertain pandemic.“I hope there would be a pretty sharp contrast in the overall demeanor of the folks at Berkshire,” said Cathy Seifert, a Berkshire analyst at CFRA Research. “Last year, there was a degree of an alarm just because this was an event that was very difficult to price. It was kind of written all over his face. This annual meeting, the tone from an underlying operational perspective should be more relaxed.”(You can view last year’s annual meeting and the others at theWarren Buffett Archive.)Berkshire’s other vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, will be on hand to answer the three-and-a-half hours of questions as well.Berkshire’s B shareswere up more than 1% on the week, bringing their return in the last 12 months to more than 47%.Among the big topics shareholders will want answers on:Airlines:His thoughts on the industry after revealing at last year’s meeting he sold his entire stake (with the shares then subsequently roaring back).Deploying the $138 billion cash pile:Why he’s been buying back a record amount of Berkshire’s stock instead of making one large acquisition and what his plan is going forward.Market outlook:His thought’s on the stock market’s overall valuation following the pandemic comebackBubbles?:Cryptocurrencies and the other possible market manias that have popped up amid the huge rush of retail investors into marketsLife after Buffett and Munger:Berkshire’s succession planDumped airlinesAt the last annual meeting, Buffett revealed that Berkshiresold the entirety of its equity positionin the U.S. airline industry, includingstakes in United, American, Southwest and Delta Air Lines, worth north of $4 billion.“The world has changed for the airlines. And I don’t know how it’s changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way,” Buffett said at the time. “I don’t know if Americans have now changed their habits or will change their habits because of the extended period.”The sale conveyed a pessimistic view on the industry from the legendary buy-and-hold investor. Many Buffett watchers were left disappointed, however, as shares of those carriers soon embarked on an epic rebound, rallying triple digits from 2020 lows. Even president Donald Trump weighed in on the trade back then, saying that Buffett has been right “his whole life,” butmade a mistake selling airlines.“He might acknowledge that the velocity of this recovery was greater than anticipated,” said Seifert. “The airline disposal may have been a function of their belief that what’s going on in the airline industry may be secular and not cyclical. That’s the one fine distinction that investors may want him to make.”While airline stocks have rebounded drastically over the past year, many argue that the industry may have indeed changed fundamentally due to the economic fallout and the road to a full recovery remains bumpy.United Airlines said this month thatbusiness and international travel recovery is still far off even as the economy continues to reopen.“He may still be right about the airline industry with travel coming back slowly and there being too many planes,” said James Shanahan, a Berkshire analyst at Edward Jones. “Arguably he could still be right about that, but he’s certainly wrong on the stocks.”New stock movesBerkshire bought back arecord of $24.7 billion in its own shares last year, while Buffett also did some bargain-hunting amid the market comeback with sizable positions in big dividend payers ChevronandVerizon.Applewas still the conglomerate’s biggest common stock investment as of the end of 2020. Buffett’s conglomerate also appeared to dial back its exposure to financials. Berkshire exited itsJPMorganandPNC positionat the end of last year, while cutting theWells Fargostake was cut by nearly 60%.“When you think about the legacy of Berkshire Hathaway and all the operating businesses, including railroads, manufacturing, retail, utilities, it’s all old economy type companies,” Shanahan said. “The way the portfolio is comprised now after the selling of airline stocks and selling of the financial stocks, together with huge performance in Apple, it looks a lot more new economy now.”Shanahan estimated that Berkshire bought back another $5 billion of its own shares in the first quarter according to proxy filings.‘Elephant-sized’ deal?The conglomerate was still sitting on a huge cash war chest with more than $138 billion at the end of 2020. Buffett has yet to make the “elephant-sized acquisition” he’s been touting for years. At last year’s meeting, the legendary investor gave a simple reason for his inaction.“We have not done anything because we haven’t seen anything that attractive,” Buffett said. “We are not doing anything big, obviously. We are willing to do something very big. I mean you could come to me on Monday morning with something that involved $30, or $40 billion or $50 billion. And if we really like what we are seeing, we would do it.”The deal-making environment has only become all the more competitive over the past year with the meteoric rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. More than 500 blank-check deals with over $138 billion funds are seeking their target companies currently, according to SPAC Research.“This is a significant company with a significant cash position. Investors have the right to know what they intend to deploy the cash,” Seifert said. “They are entitled to have more than just an excuse. Investors are going to start to grow a bit weary if it’s just the same old story. But the stock has recovered nicely, so they are not going to be grumbling too much.”SuccessionWhen it comes to a concrete succession plan, shareholders might not get much more from Buffett and Munger even though they are now both nonagenarians.Abel, vice chairman of noninsurance operations at Berkshire, is seen as a top contender as Buffett’s successor.“I do not expect him to talk about succession in any more detail than he already had,” Shanahan said. “Elevating the status of Abel and Jain to the roles of vice chairmen and having them available and participating in annual meeting speaks volume. I don’t think he necessarily has to say more than that.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":621,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":375656125,"gmtCreate":1619336384267,"gmtModify":1634274132492,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yeah","listText":"Yeah","text":"Yeah","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":5,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/375656125","repostId":"1180713929","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180713929","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":1619191972,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180713929?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-23 23:32","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why AMD Stock Popped After Intel's Earnings Beat","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1180713929","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.What happenedShares of rising Intel (NASDA","content":"<p>Here's a hint: It's not because Intel reported great news.</p><p><b>What happened</b></p><p>Shares of rising <b>Intel</b> (NASDAQ:INTC) rival and fellow semiconductors giant <b>Advanced Micro Devices</b> (NASDAQ:AMD) popped in early trading on the Nasdaq Friday, the first day afterIntel's disappointing Q1 2021 earnings report.

It hasn’t provided revenue guidance since the start of the pandemic, citing uncertainty. This is Apple’s second quarter in a row with double-digit growth in all product categories. Apple CFO Luca Maestri told analysts that the company expects June quarter revenue to rise by double digits year-over-year, although it faces some supply shortages due to the worldwide chip shortage.</p><p>Apple has said in the past months that its business has been boosted by the pandemic as consumers and businesses bought computers to work and entertain themselves while at home. But Apple’s strong results in the quarter suggest that the trend may persist as more economies open up.</p><p>Or, as Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement: “This quarter reflects both the enduring ways our products have helped our users meet this moment in their own lives, as well as the optimism consumers seem to feel about better days ahead for all of us.”</p><p>Mac sales were up 70%, and Cook said that the result was “fueled by” the company’s introduction of its Mac laptops that used its own M1 chips for longer battery life, instead of processors sold by Intel. iPad sales were up nearly 79% year-over-year.</p><p>Neither of those results include iPad Pro or iMac models the company announced in March, which are expected to drive additional demand.</p><p>“We’re seeing strong first-time buyers on the Mac … it continues to run just south of 50%,” Cook told CNBC’s Josh Lipton. “And, in China, it’s even higher than that … it’s more around two-thirds.

Relatively few new economic data reports or corporate earnings results are scheduled for release.</p><p>The FOMC's meeting minutes, due out Wednesday afternoon, will elucidate members' thinking from their March meeting. At the conclusion of that meeting, the central bank's median forecast for economic growth was sharply upwardly revised, reflecting improving growth trends as the trajectory of new COVID-19 infections improved and vaccinations broadened out. The central bank said it expects real GDP to grow 6.5% this year, versus the 4.2% rate it anticipated in December. The Fed also said it sees the unemployment rate improving to 4.5% by year-end before returning to its pre-pandemic level of 3.5% by 2023.</p><p>Despite these improving projections, the Fed still telegraphed that interest rates would likely remain on hold at current near-zero levels through 2023, with the central bank maintaining its ultra-accommodative monetary policy posturing despite a quicker-than-previously-expected economic recovery. Market participants have been wary of this message, with the Fed suggesting a stubborn tilt toward easy monetary policy even in the face of rising inflation. The Fed's latest forecast showed the median member believed core inflation would rise to 2.4% this year, hitting and exceeding the Fed's 2% target two years earlier than previously anticipated.</p><p>Fed Chair Powell said in his mid-March press conference that inflation would need to be \"on track to exceed 2% moderately for some time\" in order for the Fed to consider its inflation goal met and allow for liftoff on rates. However, that assertion has left some room for interpretation by market participants, leading many to speculate the Fed may be pushed to adjust policy sooner than it has recently telegraphed.</p><h2>'Forecast disagreement'</h2><h2></h2><p>According to a recent survey from Deustche Bank, \"The current gap between the market and the Fed is mostly about forecast disagreement. In particular, survey respondents expect that core PCE in the 2.2%-2.3% range in 2022 and 2023 will beget a more hawkish Fed response,\" Deutsche Bank economist Matthew Luzzetti wrote in a note. \"While we learned at the FOMC meeting that 2.1% core PCE [personal consumption expenditures] inflation is not sufficiently high to trigger liftoff, it is still unclear whether inflation rates in the 2.2%-2.3% range — as expected by our survey and market pricing — would be high enough to get the Fed to tighten. This ambiguity is <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> drawback of the Fed's flexible average inflation targeting (FAIT) approach which leaves key parameters undefined.\"</p><p>\"If the Fed were to clearly signal that core PCE inflation in the 2.2%-2.3% range for a year or two is consistent with their view of FAIT and would not trigger a tightening of monetary policy, they could impact market pricing,\" he added. \"Conversely, if the FOMC believes they would raise rates in response to these inflation realizations, then the market is currently pricing an appropriate reaction function and it will take some time for a verdict on whether the Fed or market is correct about the persistence of this inflation shock.\"</p><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e00f01f2ead30a11c8273f332b00d3da\" tg-width=\"6000\" tg-height=\"4000\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><span>WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 29: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during a news conference after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting on January 29, 2020 in Washington, DC.

Fed Chair Powell said that the central bank would be looking for \"substantial further progress\" — and specifically \"actual progress\" in the data and not \"forecast progress\" — toward the Fed's employment and inflation goals before considering tapering.</p><p>Still, with the latest batch of March economic data exceeding estimates, the Fed may soon begin offering up firmer guidance around its plan for tapering the $120 billion per-month asset purchase program, which was first put into place at the start of the pandemic last year.</p><p>\"Financial conditions should remain quite accommodative for a while, and in our view risks an overshoot,\" Rich Rieder, BlackRock chief investment officer, said in a note. \"We think that the Fed should be able to taper asset purchases sooner than many expect and perhaps by the end of the year, or early next year, which suggests to us that communicating its plan could come as early as the June meeting.\"</p><p>While the forthcoming meeting minutes will not take into account FOMC members' appraisal of the latest batch of economic data, it will offer market participants a sense of whether some members were inclined to look past the first signs of a faster-than-expected economic recovery in dictating the direction of monetary policy.</p><p>That said, Fed Chair Powell's public remarks this coming Thursday will offer a more timely view of the central bank's policy thinking. Powell will be speaking at an International Monetary Fund panel on the global economy Thursday afternoon.</p><p>The discussion will come about a week after the Labor Department's March jobs report, which showed a much better than expected gain of 916,000 non-farm payrolls and a dip in the unemployment rate to 6.0%. Plus, last week's Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing purchasing managers' index unexpectedly jumped to a 37-year high, with some survey participants already citing a rise in commodity prices and a supply and demand mismatch that could exacerbate upward price pressures.

Relatively few new economic data reports or corporate earnings results are scheduled for release.The FOMC's meeting minutes, due out Wednesday afternoon, will elucidate members' thinking from their March meeting. At the conclusion of that meeting, the central bank's median forecast for economic growth was sharply upwardly revised, reflecting improving growth trends as the trajectory of new COVID-19 infections improved and vaccinations broadened out. The central bank said it expects real GDP to grow 6.5% this year, versus the 4.2% rate it anticipated in December. The Fed also said it sees the unemployment rate improving to 4.5% by year-end before returning to its pre-pandemic level of 3.5% by 2023.Despite these improving projections, the Fed still telegraphed that interest rates would likely remain on hold at current near-zero levels through 2023, with the central bank maintaining its ultra-accommodative monetary policy posturing despite a quicker-than-previously-expected economic recovery. Market participants have been wary of this message, with the Fed suggesting a stubborn tilt toward easy monetary policy even in the face of rising inflation. The Fed's latest forecast showed the median member believed core inflation would rise to 2.4% this year, hitting and exceeding the Fed's 2% target two years earlier than previously anticipated.Fed Chair Powell said in his mid-March press conference that inflation would need to be \"on track to exceed 2% moderately for some time\" in order for the Fed to consider its inflation goal met and allow for liftoff on rates. However, that assertion has left some room for interpretation by market participants, leading many to speculate the Fed may be pushed to adjust policy sooner than it has recently telegraphed.'Forecast disagreement'According to a recent survey from Deustche Bank, \"The current gap between the market and the Fed is mostly about forecast disagreement. In particular, survey respondents expect that core PCE in the 2.2%-2.3% range in 2022 and 2023 will beget a more hawkish Fed response,\" Deutsche Bank economist Matthew Luzzetti wrote in a note. \"While we learned at the FOMC meeting that 2.1% core PCE [personal consumption expenditures] inflation is not sufficiently high to trigger liftoff, it is still unclear whether inflation rates in the 2.2%-2.3% range — as expected by our survey and market pricing — would be high enough to get the Fed to tighten. This ambiguity is one drawback of the Fed's flexible average inflation targeting (FAIT) approach which leaves key parameters undefined.\"\"If the Fed were to clearly signal that core PCE inflation in the 2.2%-2.3% range for a year or two is consistent with their view of FAIT and would not trigger a tightening of monetary policy, they could impact market pricing,\" he added. \"Conversely, if the FOMC believes they would raise rates in response to these inflation realizations, then the market is currently pricing an appropriate reaction function and it will take some time for a verdict on whether the Fed or market is correct about the persistence of this inflation shock.\"WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 29: Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell speaks during a news conference after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting on January 29, 2020 in Washington, DC.

(Photo by Samuel Corum/Getty Images)Samuel Corum via Getty ImagesBut while the jury appears to be out among market participants when it comes to the timing of the next rate hike, many agree that the first step toward tightening by the Federal Reserve will likely occur in their crisis-era asset purchase program. Fed Chair Powell said that the central bank would be looking for \"substantial further progress\" — and specifically \"actual progress\" in the data and not \"forecast progress\" — toward the Fed's employment and inflation goals before considering tapering.Still, with the latest batch of March economic data exceeding estimates, the Fed may soon begin offering up firmer guidance around its plan for tapering the $120 billion per-month asset purchase program, which was first put into place at the start of the pandemic last year.\"Financial conditions should remain quite accommodative for a while, and in our view risks an overshoot,\" Rich Rieder, BlackRock chief investment officer, said in a note. \"We think that the Fed should be able to taper asset purchases sooner than many expect and perhaps by the end of the year, or early next year, which suggests to us that communicating its plan could come as early as the June meeting.\"While the forthcoming meeting minutes will not take into account FOMC members' appraisal of the latest batch of economic data, it will offer market participants a sense of whether some members were inclined to look past the first signs of a faster-than-expected economic recovery in dictating the direction of monetary policy.That said, Fed Chair Powell's public remarks this coming Thursday will offer a more timely view of the central bank's policy thinking. Powell will be speaking at an International Monetary Fund panel on the global economy Thursday afternoon.The discussion will come about a week after the Labor Department's March jobs report, which showed a much better than expected gain of 916,000 non-farm payrolls and a dip in the unemployment rate to 6.0%. Plus, last week's Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing purchasing managers' index unexpectedly jumped to a 37-year high, with some survey participants already citing a rise in commodity prices and a supply and demand mismatch that could exacerbate upward price pressures. Market participants will eye Powell's address to see whether or not these prints shift the needle in the Fed's monetary policy projections.\"We expect that as the data come in, the volatility in Fed views will become more pronounced over coming months,\" RBC Capital Markets economists wrote in a note last week.Economic calendarMonday: Markit U.S. Services PMI, March Final (60.2 expected, 60.0 in prior print);

This year, however, the 90-year-old Buffett is taking the meeting to Los Angeles so he can be by 97-year-old Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger’s side once again. Munger resides in Los Angeles and missed the last annual meeting due to travel restrictions. It will be the first time that the annual meeting will take place outside of Omaha, Nebraska.While “Woodstock for Capitalists” will be missing the capitalists once again, the tone of the meeting may more likely resemble the meetings of old with shareholders clamoring for Buffett’s outlook on the world following an unprecedented year and the Oracle more likely to oblige after holding back last year with the country just starting its fight through the deadly and uncertain pandemic.“I hope there would be a pretty sharp contrast in the overall demeanor of the folks at Berkshire,” said Cathy Seifert, a Berkshire analyst at CFRA Research. “Last year, there was a degree of an alarm just because this was an event that was very difficult to price. It was kind of written all over his face. This annual meeting, the tone from an underlying operational perspective should be more relaxed.”(You can view last year’s annual meeting and the others at theWarren Buffett Archive.)Berkshire’s other vice chairmen, Ajit Jain and Greg Abel, will be on hand to answer the three-and-a-half hours of questions as well.Berkshire’s B shareswere up more than 1% on the week, bringing their return in the last 12 months to more than 47%.Among the big topics shareholders will want answers on:Airlines:His thoughts on the industry after revealing at last year’s meeting he sold his entire stake (with the shares then subsequently roaring back).Deploying the $138 billion cash pile:Why he’s been buying back a record amount of Berkshire’s stock instead of making one large acquisition and what his plan is going forward.Market outlook:His thought’s on the stock market’s overall valuation following the pandemic comebackBubbles?:Cryptocurrencies and the other possible market manias that have popped up amid the huge rush of retail investors into marketsLife after Buffett and Munger:Berkshire’s succession planDumped airlinesAt the last annual meeting, Buffett revealed that Berkshiresold the entirety of its equity positionin the U.S. airline industry, includingstakes in United, American, Southwest and Delta Air Lines, worth north of $4 billion.“The world has changed for the airlines. And I don’t know how it’s changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way,” Buffett said at the time. “I don’t know if Americans have now changed their habits or will change their habits because of the extended period.”The sale conveyed a pessimistic view on the industry from the legendary buy-and-hold investor. Many Buffett watchers were left disappointed, however, as shares of those carriers soon embarked on an epic rebound, rallying triple digits from 2020 lows. Even president Donald Trump weighed in on the trade back then, saying that Buffett has been right “his whole life,” butmade a mistake selling airlines.“He might acknowledge that the velocity of this recovery was greater than anticipated,” said Seifert. “The airline disposal may have been a function of their belief that what’s going on in the airline industry may be secular and not cyclical. That’s the one fine distinction that investors may want him to make.”While airline stocks have rebounded drastically over the past year, many argue that the industry may have indeed changed fundamentally due to the economic fallout and the road to a full recovery remains bumpy.United Airlines said this month thatbusiness and international travel recovery is still far off even as the economy continues to reopen.“He may still be right about the airline industry with travel coming back slowly and there being too many planes,” said James Shanahan, a Berkshire analyst at Edward Jones. “Arguably he could still be right about that, but he’s certainly wrong on the stocks.”New stock movesBerkshire bought back arecord of $24.7 billion in its own shares last year, while Buffett also did some bargain-hunting amid the market comeback with sizable positions in big dividend payers ChevronandVerizon.Applewas still the conglomerate’s biggest common stock investment as of the end of 2020. Buffett’s conglomerate also appeared to dial back its exposure to financials. Berkshire exited itsJPMorganandPNC positionat the end of last year, while cutting theWells Fargostake was cut by nearly 60%.“When you think about the legacy of Berkshire Hathaway and all the operating businesses, including railroads, manufacturing, retail, utilities, it’s all old economy type companies,” Shanahan said. “The way the portfolio is comprised now after the selling of airline stocks and selling of the financial stocks, together with huge performance in Apple, it looks a lot more new economy now.”Shanahan estimated that Berkshire bought back another $5 billion of its own shares in the first quarter according to proxy filings.‘Elephant-sized’ deal?The conglomerate was still sitting on a huge cash war chest with more than $138 billion at the end of 2020. Buffett has yet to make the “elephant-sized acquisition” he’s been touting for years. At last year’s meeting, the legendary investor gave a simple reason for his inaction.“We have not done anything because we haven’t seen anything that attractive,” Buffett said. “We are not doing anything big, obviously. We are willing to do something very big. I mean you could come to me on Monday morning with something that involved $30, or $40 billion or $50 billion. And if we really like what we are seeing, we would do it.”The deal-making environment has only become all the more competitive over the past year with the meteoric rise of SPACs, or special purpose acquisition companies. More than 500 blank-check deals with over $138 billion funds are seeking their target companies currently, according to SPAC Research.“This is a significant company with a significant cash position. Investors have the right to know what they intend to deploy the cash,” Seifert said. “They are entitled to have more than just an excuse. Investors are going to start to grow a bit weary if it’s just the same old story. But the stock has recovered nicely, so they are not going to be grumbling too much.”SuccessionWhen it comes to a concrete succession plan, shareholders might not get much more from Buffett and Munger even though they are now both nonagenarians.Abel, vice chairman of noninsurance operations at Berkshire, is seen as a top contender as Buffett’s successor.“I do not expect him to talk about succession in any more detail than he already had,” Shanahan said. “Elevating the status of Abel and Jain to the roles of vice chairmen and having them available and participating in annual meeting speaks volume. I don’t think he necessarily has to say more than that.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":621,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108059768,"gmtCreate":1619965395954,"gmtModify":1634208843443,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good 😌 ","listText":"Good 😌 ","text":"Good 😌","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/108059768","repostId":"1103106179","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":344045688,"gmtCreate":1618362995344,"gmtModify":1634293471834,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Okie ","listText":"Okie ","text":"Okie","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/344045688","repostId":"2127045633","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":146,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":348708134,"gmtCreate":1617959009128,"gmtModify":1634295521253,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like 👍🏼 ","listText":"Like 👍🏼 ","text":"Like 👍🏼","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/348708134","repostId":"1147517160","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":346,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":341794568,"gmtCreate":1617853842054,"gmtModify":1634296133208,"author":{"id":"3571392409099070","authorId":"3571392409099070","name":"ConnieCD","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/915b685005c69f07e82d31330014218b","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571392409099070","authorIdStr":"3571392409099070"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/341794568","repostId":"1175293107","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175293107","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1617851767,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175293107?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-08 11:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Hot Stocks To Buy for an Explosion in Consumerism","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1175293107","media":"InvestorPlace","summary":"The U.S. economy is expected to boom in Q2, with these hot stocks benefiting as consumers open their wallets.The coronavirus pandemic had a chilling effect on the economy in 2020.
