The stock is moving upwards after receiving an attractive rating from Bank of America. With institutional investors on its side once again, and a new EPA rating, investors stand to wonder where LCID stock will go. Hence, Lucid Motors price predictions are in high demand.</p>\n<p>It’s inarguable that Lucid is rallying in hopes of becoming the next&nbsp;<b>Tesla</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>TSLA</u></b>). But Tesla is vastly more storied, has more experience getting cars on the road, and it has a superstar CEO with massive ambitions for the market. However, that’s not to say it has perfect vehicles. The cars themselves are the most important part, and with Lucid’s newest EPA rating, it’s putting Tesla in the hot seat.</p>\n<p>As the company announced yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency&nbsp;awarded the Lucid Air Dream Edition Range with a 520-mile range. That’s by far the longest range for an electric vehicle on a single charge. For reference, Tesla’s longest-range vehicle&nbsp;only offers about 412 mileson a single charge. Lucid is creating an obvious edge for itself.</p>\n<p>Lucid Motors Price Predictions Surge on Bank of America Rating</p>\n<p>Following this announcement, LCID stock is getting the benefit of a new Bank of America note. The analyst calls the brand a “combination of Ferrari and Tesla,” and is putting a hefty rating on LCID stock. The bullish price point of $30 is in and of itself inciting buying interest. In the early hours of today’s session, trading volume of LCID is over 40 million shares. Shares are increasing 10% on the news.</p>\n<p>What do analysts at large think of LCID stock? Is it built to last? Is $30 much too optimistic? Let’s take a look at some&nbsp;Lucid Motors price predictionsto get an idea of broader sentiment:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Of course, bringing in all of the news today is John Murphy’s price target out of Bank of America.

The stock is moving upwards after receiving an attractive rating from Bank of America. With institutional investors on its side once again, and a new EPA rating, investors stand to wonder where LCID stock will go. Hence, Lucid Motors price predictions are in high demand.\nIt’s inarguable that Lucid is rallying in hopes of becoming the next Tesla(NASDAQ:TSLA). But Tesla is vastly more storied, has more experience getting cars on the road, and it has a superstar CEO with massive ambitions for the market. However, that’s not to say it has perfect vehicles. The cars themselves are the most important part, and with Lucid’s newest EPA rating, it’s putting Tesla in the hot seat.\nAs the company announced yesterday, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded the Lucid Air Dream Edition Range with a 520-mile range. That’s by far the longest range for an electric vehicle on a single charge. For reference, Tesla’s longest-range vehicle only offers about 412 mileson a single charge. Lucid is creating an obvious edge for itself.\nLucid Motors Price Predictions Surge on Bank of America Rating\nFollowing this announcement, LCID stock is getting the benefit of a new Bank of America note. The analyst calls the brand a “combination of Ferrari and Tesla,” and is putting a hefty rating on LCID stock. The bullish price point of $30 is in and of itself inciting buying interest. In the early hours of today’s session, trading volume of LCID is over 40 million shares. Shares are increasing 10% on the news.\nWhat do analysts at large think of LCID stock? Is it built to last? Is $30 much too optimistic? Let’s take a look at some Lucid Motors price predictionsto get an idea of broader sentiment:\n\nOf course, bringing in all of the news today is John Murphy’s price target out of Bank of America. Murphy gives the stock a strong “buy” rating and a $30 price target.\nAlso bullish on LCID is Itay Michaeli, an analyst at Citigroup. Michaeli targets a price of $28 for LCID.\nAdam Jonas is a known bear on LCID stock. The Morgan Stanley analyst is has a “sell” rating on LCID, anticipating a drop in price down to $12.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":498,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886575684,"gmtCreate":1631610558248,"gmtModify":1631884898003,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/886575684","repostId":"2167537203","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":414,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":886061957,"gmtCreate":1631539698679,"gmtModify":1631884898017,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/886061957","repostId":"1195159843","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1195159843","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631538110,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1195159843?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-13 21:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Cameco Stock and Uranium Prices Rise.

Instead, the opportunities offered by Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit (\"LEO\") satellites are much better, especially in areas that don't have 4G or 5G cellular coverage.</p>\n<p>To have an idea of the potential of LEO satellites, one can take a glance at Elon Musk’s SpaceX's (SPACE). These have been deployed at locations in the U.S and the U.K. with several customers already having signed up to the service. Bench-marking by Speedtest showed download speeds of&nbsp;97.23 Mbps,or far superior than those for other traditional providers. This speed was lower than the 115.22 Mbps median speed for fixed broadband providers, but makes sense for \"disadvantaged locations\" where telcos find it uneconomical to lay down additional fiber or expand cellular coverage.</p>\n<p>Therefore, given the enormous potential of the blending between the iPhone and satellite connectivity, news about Apple using Globalstar's network only for emergency purposes seems more aimed at not alarming its telco partners with whom it has been working since decades.</p>\n<p>This blending is made possible by Qualcomm's (NASDAQ:QCOM) inclusion of Globalstar's band n53 in its new 5G X65 modem. This should also expand the satellite operator's potential device ecosystem significantly to include smartphones, laptops and tablets.</p>\n<p>For investors, the&nbsp;Snapdragon X65&nbsp;will be released in the fall of&nbsp;2022, most likely into next year’s iPhone. Better peak performance and other benefits should be there, but some will require carriers to upgrade their networks. On the other hand, with band n53, one can imagine the transformation of future mobility communications with a single operator plan anywhere in the world, without necessitating roaming, with no need to buy local SIM cards.</p>\n<p><b>Globalstar's differentiation</b></p>\n<p>Thus, this is not just about emergency calls or messaging and in a way, shows Globalstar's edge as a satellite network operator over telco's mobile network operations.</p>\n<p>Now, satellite communications is a huge industry, estimated at $56.01 billion&nbsp;in 2019 and expected to hit $99.58 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027. Going deeper, there are several satellite operators and service providers, with Iridium (IRDM) and Orbcomm (ORBC). Other companies are involved in space technology like DISH Networks (DISH) and AT&amp;T (T).</p>\n<p>Here, GlobalStar seems to be having some key strengths with respect to peers.</p>\n<p>According to the company's website, its&nbsp;strategically&nbsp;placed gateways offer local network access and national numbering plans as opposed to other LEO systems that require expensive international dialing for all calls. Also, Globalstar has a unique design which allows it to offer the most attractive local dialing and pricing plans to customers.</p>\n<p>Pursuing further, Globalstar’s 24 ground stations also serve as a bridge between LEO satellites and traditional communications infrastructure on six continents, with coverage spanning across over 120 countries throughout the world. Furthermore, the second generation ground infrastructure is based on the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (\"IMS\") protocol, which facilitates the use of IP (Internet Protocol) for packet communications over wireless or landline.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ab07af4d39eb03b1776e870748b773f\" tg-width=\"828\" tg-height=\"468\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: globalstar.com</span></p>\n<p>Consequently, Globalstar brings some attractive metrics for a behemoth like Apple looking to penetrate new markets. In this respect, according to a source, more than&nbsp;five billion mobile subscribers&nbsp;constantly move in and out of wireless coverage, representing a huge TAM.</p>\n<p>Bagging a contract with Apple, even a partial one, or in partnership with another peer would increase the volume of new subscribers, which should in turn more than offset the current revenue impact from lower ARPU (Average Revenue per User).</p>\n<p><b>The revenues</b></p>\n<p>Overall sales have gone down in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year as higher revenue generated from subscriber equipment related to SPOT (the largest segment) was offset by lower service revenues. For investors, SPOT is a GPS tracking device that uses Globalstar's satellite network to provide text messaging and GPS tracking.</p>\n<p>Looking deeper, service revenue also decreased over the prior year's quarter due to fewer Duplex subscribers, with the decline expected to continue as Globalstar focuses resources on other revenue streams, like IoT-enabled devices. This is done in light of the shift in demand across the MSS (mobile satellite services) industry.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e8b74a670c927d2d84f1751cfd4a148\" tg-width=\"498\" tg-height=\"457\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Interestingly, service revenues generated from commercial IoT subscribers increased 5% in the second quarter of 2021 driven by higher ARPU compared to the prior year's quarter.

Instead, the opportunities offered by Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit (\"LEO\") satellites are much better, especially in areas that don't have 4G or 5G cellular coverage.\nTo have an idea of the potential of LEO satellites, one can take a glance at Elon Musk’s SpaceX's (SPACE). These have been deployed at locations in the U.S and the U.K. with several customers already having signed up to the service. Bench-marking by Speedtest showed download speeds of 97.23 Mbps,or far superior than those for other traditional providers. This speed was lower than the 115.22 Mbps median speed for fixed broadband providers, but makes sense for \"disadvantaged locations\" where telcos find it uneconomical to lay down additional fiber or expand cellular coverage.\nTherefore, given the enormous potential of the blending between the iPhone and satellite connectivity, news about Apple using Globalstar's network only for emergency purposes seems more aimed at not alarming its telco partners with whom it has been working since decades.\nThis blending is made possible by Qualcomm's (NASDAQ:QCOM) inclusion of Globalstar's band n53 in its new 5G X65 modem. This should also expand the satellite operator's potential device ecosystem significantly to include smartphones, laptops and tablets.\nFor investors, the Snapdragon X65 will be released in the fall of 2022, most likely into next year’s iPhone. Better peak performance and other benefits should be there, but some will require carriers to upgrade their networks. On the other hand, with band n53, one can imagine the transformation of future mobility communications with a single operator plan anywhere in the world, without necessitating roaming, with no need to buy local SIM cards.\nGlobalstar's differentiation\nThus, this is not just about emergency calls or messaging and in a way, shows Globalstar's edge as a satellite network operator over telco's mobile network operations.\nNow, satellite communications is a huge industry, estimated at $56.01 billion in 2019 and expected to hit $99.58 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027. Going deeper, there are several satellite operators and service providers, with Iridium (IRDM) and Orbcomm (ORBC). Other companies are involved in space technology like DISH Networks (DISH) and AT&T (T).\nHere, GlobalStar seems to be having some key strengths with respect to peers.\nAccording to the company's website, its strategically placed gateways offer local network access and national numbering plans as opposed to other LEO systems that require expensive international dialing for all calls. Also, Globalstar has a unique design which allows it to offer the most attractive local dialing and pricing plans to customers.\nPursuing further, Globalstar’s 24 ground stations also serve as a bridge between LEO satellites and traditional communications infrastructure on six continents, with coverage spanning across over 120 countries throughout the world. Furthermore, the second generation ground infrastructure is based on the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (\"IMS\") protocol, which facilitates the use of IP (Internet Protocol) for packet communications over wireless or landline.\nSource: globalstar.com\nConsequently, Globalstar brings some attractive metrics for a behemoth like Apple looking to penetrate new markets. In this respect, according to a source, more than five billion mobile subscribers constantly move in and out of wireless coverage, representing a huge TAM.\nBagging a contract with Apple, even a partial one, or in partnership with another peer would increase the volume of new subscribers, which should in turn more than offset the current revenue impact from lower ARPU (Average Revenue per User).\nThe revenues\nOverall sales have gone down in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year as higher revenue generated from subscriber equipment related to SPOT (the largest segment) was offset by lower service revenues. For investors, SPOT is a GPS tracking device that uses Globalstar's satellite network to provide text messaging and GPS tracking.\nLooking deeper, service revenue also decreased over the prior year's quarter due to fewer Duplex subscribers, with the decline expected to continue as Globalstar focuses resources on other revenue streams, like IoT-enabled devices. This is done in light of the shift in demand across the MSS (mobile satellite services) industry.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nInterestingly, service revenues generated from commercial IoT subscribers increased 5% in the second quarter of 2021 driven by higher ARPU compared to the prior year's quarter. Additionally, IoT equipment sales were up significantly from the prior year period, which is a key indication of future service revenue growth.\nThinking aloud, lower ARPU for SPOT also points to competition, with Globalstar competing aggressively on price in the industrial, governmental and consumer markets. Looking at satellite phones and communication gadgets, some of the competitors include Garmin's (GRMN) InReach, Iridium Go and the Thuraya X5-Touch, which is a dual-SIM Android smartphone.\nAs a result, the company has to cut prices with its “competitively-priced service plans being lower than historic rates”. Therefore, SPOT revenues should continue to decline in the near term, with higher volumes of activations not being able to offset the effects of lower ARPU on sales.\nA comparison with rival Iridium shows contrasting revenue trends, with Globalstar being on a fluctuating trend since the end of 2019, coinciding with more competition.\nSource: Charts built through data from Seeking Alpha.\nTherefore, adopting a cautionary posture, a change in the revenue-generating model geared towards IoT may take time to execute, whereby sales figures could drop further. This may in turn lead to missing topline expectations during the third quarter results, causing the share price to dip. For this matter, as I had pointed out in my previousthesis, one of the risks in investing in Globalstar is its dependence on the fortunes of the oil and gas industry.\nOn the positive side, the company continues to reduce leverage, with less than $50 million of net first lien principal outstanding at the end of Q2-2021.\nAs of June 30, 2021, the company held $15.7 million and $51.0 million of cash and restricted cash respectively. Globalstar has received an additional $37.5 million in advance payment from a customer. The new payment is under \"substantially the same terms\" as a similar $37.5 million payment received on June 9. As with the other payment, Globalstar will use the new $37.5 million in proceeds to pay down indebtedness under its first-lien credit facility. In the last report, the company had $313.4 million in long-term debt.\nValuations and key takeaways\nAs much as 16% of revenues were derived from IoT in the first six months of 2021, up from 14% in the same period last year. Now, in a market growing at 10.1% from 2019 to 2025, there is a lot of scope, but it will also depend on Globalstar's ability to meaningfully identify, pursue and close large deals.

The main goal of a mutual fund manager is to outperform a benchmark index.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33d3a2c2c02bf198b3b5a4ab76742e49\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>IMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.</span></p>\n<p><b>Major takeaways</b></p>\n<p><b>Mutual funds:</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Pool money from all investors with minimum investments as low as $1.</li>\n <li>Regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</li>\n <li>Available for trading every day the&nbsp;stock market&nbsp;is open.</li>\n <li>Usually buy and hold securities based on a specified strategy detailed in a prospectus.</li>\n <li>Charge a flat fee as a percentage of assets under management.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Hedge funds:</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Pool money from accredited investors with a liquid net worth above $1 million or an annual income exceeding $200,000.</li>\n <li>Structured as general partnerships and not heavily regulated by the SEC.</li>\n <li>Limited windows to invest and withdraw funds.</li>\n <li>Use trading strategies including derivatives, shorting, and buying alternative assets.</li>\n <li>Charge fees based on performance as well as assets under management.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>What are mutual funds?</b></p>\n<p>A&nbsp;mutual fund&nbsp;is an easy way for individual investors to gain access to a managed portfolio of publicly traded securities such as&nbsp;stocks&nbsp;and&nbsp;bonds. Investors buy shares of a mutual fund, and their money gets pooled with other shareholders by the fund manager. The manager works to meet the objectives laid out in the prospectus, which will detail the benchmark&nbsp;index&nbsp;the manager's performance should be weighed against and the strategy they'll use to invest.</p>\n<p><b>Investment strategies</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds are generally considered safer investments than hedge funds. That's because fund managers are limited in their ability to use riskier strategies such as leveraging their holdings, which can increase returns, but it also increases volatility.</p>\n<p>Mutual funds buy publicly traded securities based on the manager's criteria. Those criteria could be very specific like buying&nbsp;pharmaceutical stocks&nbsp;the manager thinks are undervalued based on certain metrics, or they could be very general like simply buying every stock in the&nbsp;<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>. There's a wide range of strategies available to mutual fund investors, and the details are laid out for investors in the prospectus.</p>\n<p><b>Types of mutual funds</b></p>\n<p>There are a few different types of mutual funds investors should be aware of.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Actively managed vs. passive funds.</b>Actively managed mutual funds&nbsp;are characterized by a fund manager who attempts to beat the fund's benchmark index by strategically buying and selling securities. Passive funds, or&nbsp;index funds, merely try to replicate the returns of the benchmark index by modeling a portfolio based on the index. Sometimes, the fund will just buy every security in the index.</li>\n <li><b>Open-ended vs. closed-ended funds.</b>Open-ended funds have no limit to the number of shares they can issue. Investors simply buy shares, and the fund manager takes new inflows and allocates them to the appropriate securities. Closed-ended funds have a limited number of shares, so the portfolio manager doesn't have to deal with inflows or outflows. In order to buy or sell shares, you have to find a buyer or seller on the open market.</li>\n <li><b>Load vs. no-load funds.</b>Funds with a load pay a commission to the broker who sells the investor the fund. The commission comes out of the investor's funds either at purchase (front-loaded) or at the sale of the mutual fund (back-loaded). No-load funds do not have such a commission.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Who can invest?</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds are available to every investor. Some funds may have a minimum investment ranging from $100 to $10,000 or more. More and more funds have no minimum investment these days.</p>\n<p><b>How mutual fund fees work</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds charge a management fee, which typically ranges between 1% and 2% of assets under management. Index funds usually have much lower fees. Some broad-based index funds have fees close to&nbsp;0%.</p>\n<p>Note that the management fee is separate from the fees paid in loaded funds where the broker receives some of the investors' funds as well. The management fee goes directly to the mutual fund company, and it's paid annually.</p>\n<p><b>How are mutual funds regulated?</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds must register with the SEC in order to sell shares publicly. The SEC enforces several regulations, including the Securities Act of 1933, which requires mutual funds to provide investors with certain information, including a description of the fund, information about management, and financial statements. The Investment Company Act of 1940 also requires mutual funds to provide details of their financial health and investment policies.</p>\n<p><b>What are hedge funds?</b></p>\n<p>A&nbsp;hedge fund&nbsp;is designed as a way for individual investors to gain access to the investment ideas and strategies of fund managers they believe have an edge on the market. Hedge funds are structured as general partnerships, and investors buy into the investment company directly as limited partners instead of buying publicly offered shares.</p>\n<p><b>Investment strategies</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds aren't limited in the strategies they can use in order to produce positive and outsized returns for their investors. Hedge funds will use derivatives such as&nbsp;options&nbsp;and&nbsp;margin&nbsp;to gain leverage, and they maysell stocks short.</p>\n<p>Hedge funds are also able to invest in just about any market:cryptocurrency, private real estate, or vintage single malt scotch. These are strategies unavailable in mutual funds due to SEC regulations. They're also much riskier strategies than simply buying publicly traded securities.</p>\n<p><b>Who can invest?</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds are only able to accept funds from accredited investors. The SEC defines an accredited investor as someone with a liquid net worth (home equity doesn't count) of $1 million or an annual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse). The SEC believes that level of wealth makes an investor more sophisticated and better able to withstand the volatility and uncertainty associated with hedge funds.</p>\n<p>Hedge funds often have minimum investments of $1 million or more. They typically limit investment windows, and they can have minimum holding periods. They can also restrict when investors can withdraw. As such, hedge fund investors require a good amount of liquidity outside of their investment in the hedge fund.</p>\n<p><b>How hedge fund fees work</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds charge two types of fees: management fees and performance fees. A management fee is similar to the management fee for a mutual fund.

Hedge funds target high-net-worth individuals and take on more complex and volatile trading strategies in an effort to produce positive returns for clients. Mutual funds are available to any investor, but they're more restricted in what they can trade. The main goal of a mutual fund manager is to outperform a benchmark index.\nIMAGE SOURCE: GETTY IMAGES.\nMajor takeaways\nMutual funds:\n\nPool money from all investors with minimum investments as low as $1.\nRegulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).\nAvailable for trading every day the stock market is open.\nUsually buy and hold securities based on a specified strategy detailed in a prospectus.\nCharge a flat fee as a percentage of assets under management.\n\nHedge funds:\n\nPool money from accredited investors with a liquid net worth above $1 million or an annual income exceeding $200,000.\nStructured as general partnerships and not heavily regulated by the SEC.\nLimited windows to invest and withdraw funds.\nUse trading strategies including derivatives, shorting, and buying alternative assets.\nCharge fees based on performance as well as assets under management.\n\nWhat are mutual funds?\nA mutual fund is an easy way for individual investors to gain access to a managed portfolio of publicly traded securities such as stocks and bonds. Investors buy shares of a mutual fund, and their money gets pooled with other shareholders by the fund manager. The manager works to meet the objectives laid out in the prospectus, which will detail the benchmark index the manager's performance should be weighed against and the strategy they'll use to invest.\nInvestment strategies\nMutual funds are generally considered safer investments than hedge funds. That's because fund managers are limited in their ability to use riskier strategies such as leveraging their holdings, which can increase returns, but it also increases volatility.\nMutual funds buy publicly traded securities based on the manager's criteria. Those criteria could be very specific like buying pharmaceutical stocks the manager thinks are undervalued based on certain metrics, or they could be very general like simply buying every stock in the S&P 500 index. There's a wide range of strategies available to mutual fund investors, and the details are laid out for investors in the prospectus.\nTypes of mutual funds\nThere are a few different types of mutual funds investors should be aware of.\n\nActively managed vs. passive funds.Actively managed mutual funds are characterized by a fund manager who attempts to beat the fund's benchmark index by strategically buying and selling securities. Passive funds, or index funds, merely try to replicate the returns of the benchmark index by modeling a portfolio based on the index. Sometimes, the fund will just buy every security in the index.\nOpen-ended vs. closed-ended funds.Open-ended funds have no limit to the number of shares they can issue. Investors simply buy shares, and the fund manager takes new inflows and allocates them to the appropriate securities. Closed-ended funds have a limited number of shares, so the portfolio manager doesn't have to deal with inflows or outflows. In order to buy or sell shares, you have to find a buyer or seller on the open market.\nLoad vs. no-load funds.Funds with a load pay a commission to the broker who sells the investor the fund. The commission comes out of the investor's funds either at purchase (front-loaded) or at the sale of the mutual fund (back-loaded). No-load funds do not have such a commission.\n\nWho can invest?\nMutual funds are available to every investor. Some funds may have a minimum investment ranging from $100 to $10,000 or more. More and more funds have no minimum investment these days.\nHow mutual fund fees work\nMutual funds charge a management fee, which typically ranges between 1% and 2% of assets under management. Index funds usually have much lower fees. Some broad-based index funds have fees close to 0%.\nNote that the management fee is separate from the fees paid in loaded funds where the broker receives some of the investors' funds as well. The management fee goes directly to the mutual fund company, and it's paid annually.\nHow are mutual funds regulated?\nMutual funds must register with the SEC in order to sell shares publicly. The SEC enforces several regulations, including the Securities Act of 1933, which requires mutual funds to provide investors with certain information, including a description of the fund, information about management, and financial statements. The Investment Company Act of 1940 also requires mutual funds to provide details of their financial health and investment policies.\nWhat are hedge funds?\nA hedge fund is designed as a way for individual investors to gain access to the investment ideas and strategies of fund managers they believe have an edge on the market. Hedge funds are structured as general partnerships, and investors buy into the investment company directly as limited partners instead of buying publicly offered shares.\nInvestment strategies\nHedge funds aren't limited in the strategies they can use in order to produce positive and outsized returns for their investors. Hedge funds will use derivatives such as options and margin to gain leverage, and they maysell stocks short.\nHedge funds are also able to invest in just about any market:cryptocurrency, private real estate, or vintage single malt scotch. These are strategies unavailable in mutual funds due to SEC regulations. They're also much riskier strategies than simply buying publicly traded securities.\nWho can invest?\nHedge funds are only able to accept funds from accredited investors. The SEC defines an accredited investor as someone with a liquid net worth (home equity doesn't count) of $1 million or an annual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse). The SEC believes that level of wealth makes an investor more sophisticated and better able to withstand the volatility and uncertainty associated with hedge funds.\nHedge funds often have minimum investments of $1 million or more. They typically limit investment windows, and they can have minimum holding periods. They can also restrict when investors can withdraw. As such, hedge fund investors require a good amount of liquidity outside of their investment in the hedge fund.\nHow hedge fund fees work\nHedge funds charge two types of fees: management fees and performance fees. A management fee is similar to the management fee for a mutual fund. The fund charges anexpense ratio, typically 2%, that's taken out of the assets under management every year.\nThe performance fee, as the name implies, is based on the fund's performance, and it's usually 20% of the gains. So, if the fund increases by 10% one year, the fund takes 20% of the gains (2% of the investment), and the rest stays invested with the fund. If the fund loses money, there's no performance fee, but the investors still have to pay the management fee.\nThe most typical fee structure — a 2% management fee and a 20% performance fee — is known as 2-and-20.\nHow are hedge funds regulated?\nHedge funds only have to register with the SEC once they reach total assets under management of above $100 million. Beyond that, they must abide by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 and limit their investors to accredited investors. That allows them to remain exempt from most reporting to the SEC and makes investing in a hedge fund much more opaque than investing in a mutual fund.\nAdditional considerations\nHedge funds have shown worsening performance over the past 15 years or so even as the U.S. stock market has been on a tear. In fact, in bull markets, mutual funds may provide better returns than hedge funds net of fees since alternative investment strategies fail to keep up with the stock market.\nThat said, those strategies can be invaluable in bear markets. If the strategies have returns truly uncorrelated with U.S. stocks, they could provide positive returns as the stock market craters. That's when a hedge fund will really live up to its name.\nWhile hedge funds hold the promise of big returns supported by advanced trading strategies, they can go for long periods without producing the expected results. For patient investors, they could pay off.\nBut perhaps the age when hedge funds could outperform the average investor is over. Today's technology makes it easier for retail investors to invest and use their own strategies, whether they're exceedingly simple or super complex. For most investors, a mutual fund will be able to meet all of their investing needs, but they're a bit more boring than hedge funds.

What they got is what Harry Truman complained about when hearing from his economic advisors:<i><b>“On the one hand, ‘this,’ but on the other hand, ‘that’.”</b></i>Truman said that he desperately wanted a one-handed economist.</p>\n<p>After a decade of general economic calm most of the time, with modest to reasonable growth, relatively low price inflation, and, at the beginning of 2020 before the Coronavirus lockdowns, unemployment at its lowest level in half a century,<b>everyone is now worried about what to expect from the Federal Reserve in terms of monetary and interest rate policy in the months and years ahead in the face of all that has been happening for the last year and a half.</b></p>\n<p><b>Whipsaw GDP and Huge Government Expenditures</b></p>\n<p>After a staggering decline in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from $19.2 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $17.2 trillion in the second quarter of 2020, or a 9 percent decrease of real GDP in a matter of a few months, the latest revised estimate by the&nbsp;Bureau of Economic Analysis&nbsp;(BEA) for the second quarter of 2021 is that real GDP reached $19.36 trillion. This was a 12.5 percent increase over its 2020 low, and a level now above its pre-Coronavirus high.</p>\n<p><b>It is worth keeping in mind, however, that all of these numbers are exaggerated in terms of real private sector vibrancy because in 2019, federal government&nbsp;expenditures&nbsp;came to $4.45 trillion, or 23 percent of that $19.2 trillion GDP total.</b>By the end of 2020, due to the relaxing of the federal and state lockdown and shutdown mandates over much of the U.S. economy in the second half of last year, real GDP had recovered to $18.76 trillion, but federal government expenditures came to $6.6 trillion, or 35 percent of that total GDP. And just in the first half of 2021, out of that $19.36 trillion GDP, federal spending has already been $5.86 trillion of that total, or 30.2 percent.</p>\n<p>If government spending is even partly discounted from GDP as a false indicator of the economic “health” of the U.S., since Uncle Sam has nothing to spend other than what it either first taxes away from the private sector or has borrowed from the financial markets, the private economy is far from doing as well as the GDP numbers suggest.</p>\n<p><b>Lagging Unemployment and Rising Price Inflation</b></p>\n<p>After unemployment had reached a low of 3.5 percent of the labor force at the start of 2020, it rose to almost 15 percent in April of last year, due to the government-commanded halt of a huge amount of economic activity. In&nbsp;July 2021, unemployment had declined to 5.4 percent of the labor force; but this still left it almost 55 percent above its low at the beginning of 2020.</p>\n<p><b>After the&nbsp;Consumer Price Index&nbsp;(CPI) mostly fluctuated in a relatively narrow range of between one and two percent, annually, over the last ten years, 2021 has seen the CPI increase to 5.4 percent in July of this year. Certain subgroups, such as energy and used car automotive sectors increased in double digit ranges on an annualized basis.</b></p>\n<p>With unemployment still considered high, with the CPI increasing noticeably above the decade-long annual average, and question marks concerning how GDP will grow for the remainder of this year, given continuing supply-chain disruptions and uncertainties about the impact of variations and new mutations of the Coronavirus, all eyes and ears turned to Jerome Powell’s pronouncements about the future direction of Federal Reserve monetary and interest rate policy.</p>\n<p><b>Powell’s Maybe This, Maybe That, Policy Pronouncement</b></p>\n<p><b>And what he said was that the Federal Reserve Board of Governors has not decided what to do!</b></p>\n<p>On the one hand, the economy is improving so, perhaps, before the end of the year, the Fed will reduce its current&nbsp;monthly purchase&nbsp;of $120 billion worth of assets – $80 billion of U.S. government securities, and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities. And it may decide that it is time to no longer use its policy tools to keep key interest rates close to zero.</p>\n<p>On the other hand, recent price inflation may only be a transitory spurt due to supply-side problems, so the concern about accelerating price increases may be misplaced. Therefore, it may be premature to reduce asset purchases too quickly and certainly it is necessary to be cautious in any nudging up of interest rates that might cut short the national economic recovery before unemployment has been reduced, once again, to a level closer to standard benchmarks of “full employment.”</p>\n<p>On the one hand, the worst of the Coronavirus may have passed, so there may be no new shutdown hurdles in the way of continuing improvement as reflected in the usual macroeconomic measurements. On the other hand, virus variants may prevent a smooth path to a fully restored and growing economy. So, it may be too soon to really specify when and by how much asset purchases will be reduced or by how much those interest rates will be raised from their current near zero levels.</p>\n<p>The Fed Chairman also said that, on the one hand, the Fed leadership has plenty of experience and policy tools to keep the economy on a sound and even path. On the other hand, such things as the impact of the Coronavirus and the threats facing the world from global warming are unique, making charting the Fed policy course a distinct challenge.</p>\n<p><b>Powell’s Reticence and the Political Business Cycle</b></p>\n<p><b>In other words, Jerome Powell evaded any straightforward policy program, and therefore offered something for almost everyone, in terms of easing fears and concerns that either the policy foot will stay too long where it is on the accelerator or will start putting on the brakes too quickly.</b>Either he is being reticent due to honest doubts about what he thinks is ahead for the economy, or he knows how to play to the audience in the White House and in Congress who will decide whether or not he is appointed for a second term as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. After all, you don’t want to seem to be planning any clear policy moves that might threaten the reelection of Senators or Congressmen in the 2022 elections, or antagonize a president who does not want to lose his thin majority in the national legislature.</p>\n<p>That politicians and central bankers are sensitive to the phases of the business cycle as they may impact the political electoral cycle in thinking about their policy decisions and directions has been understood by some economists at least since Johan Akerman’s (1896-1982) analysis of the&nbsp;“Political Economic Cycle”&nbsp;(<i>Kyklos</i>, May 1947), in which he traced out observed changes in those running governments in democratic societies resulting from the phases in the business cycle, and how those in government attempt to manage public policy to maintain their political positions.</p>\n<p>Historically, Akerman said, looking over the period from the mid-19th&nbsp;century to 1945 in countries like Great Britain, the United States, Germany, and Sweden, the result of the analysis could be summarized in the following way: “All general economic depressions in England . . . lead to cabinet crises and a change of the party in power . . . In the United States the presidential elections as a rule involve a change in party control when votes are cast during a depression and a maintenance of the party in office when the votes are cast during periods of prosperity,” in sixteen of the twenty elections between 1865 and 1945.</p>\n<p>Governments, Akerman also pointed out, try “to stabilize financial and economic conditions, and for a brief period may succeed in doing so.” While not pursuing it in his article, the fact is that the underlying circumstances that create “booms” that result in “busts” are usually of the government’s own policy. making. The “good times” monetary and fiscal policies finally create the economic crises that threaten the political policy-makers’ positions in authority. Hence, a government’s frequent demise in the next election when a recession or depression finally occurs. (p. 107)</p>\n<p><b>Interest Rates Should Coordinate Savings and Investment</b></p>\n<p>But this gets to the real essence of the dilemma in Jerome Powell’s statement of Federal Reserve policy and its possible future direction. The underlying presumption is that a central bank can and should be attempting to manage the monetary system and the level of interest rates in the financial markets and, therefore, trying to macro-manage the society as a whole.</p>\n<p>Let us start with interest rates. The role of market prices is to bring into coordinated balance the two sides of demand and supply. Prices do so by effectively informing those needing to know on the supply side what is it that demanders want and the value they place upon it in terms of what they are willing to pay to get it; prices, at the same time, inform demanders what suppliers can and are willing to produce and offer for sale, and at what price reflecting the producer’s opportunity costs of bringing a particular good or service to market. The competitive interaction of those two sides of the market brings about the balance between them.</p>\n<p>The role of interest rates is to do the same for borrowers and lenders. It is the trading of the use of resources across time between those who are interested and willing to defer the more immediate use of resources (expressed in money) in their possession or under their control, in return for a premium in the future from those interested in more immediate uses of those resources beyond their own capacity in exchange for paying such a premium in the future. That premium is the rate of interest, which may vary with the duration of the loan and risk elements in extending it.</p>\n<p>The role of the rate of interest is to coordinate the willingness of savers with the desires of borrowers. Any rate of interest above or below this results in, respectively, an excess of savings over investment demand or an excess of investment demand over available savings.</p>\n<p><b>Manipulating Interests Rates Distorts Markets</b></p>\n<p>The crucial difference between a price, say, for hats that is set below the market-clearing, or coordinating, level is that a shortage results with some willing buyers leaving the market empty-handed; but when the Federal Reserve, or any central bank, wishes to manipulate interest rates below the market coordinating level, it fills the gap with newly created money with which loans may be extended in excess of actual savings in the economy.</p>\n<p>This not only results in an increase in the number of units of the medium of exchange through which buyers can express their greater demand for desired goods and services, tending, in general, to place upward pressure on overall market prices. It also influences the structure of relative prices and wages, since increases in the supply of money can only enter the economy through the increased demand for the particular goods, resources, and services those borrowers of that new money wish to purchase and use. But the money is then passed to another group of hands; that is, those who have sold those goods, resources and services to the borrowers. This second group, in turn, spends the new money that they have received from sales on other goods, resources and services for which they wish to increase their demand.</p>\n<p>Step-by-step, in a patterned sequence through time, the newly created money increases the demands and the prices of one set of goods and services, and then another, and then another, until, finally, in principle, all prices for finished goods and the factors of production will have been impacted to one degree or another, at different times in the sequence, with changes in relative profit margins and employment opportunities for as long as the monetary inflationary process continues.</p>\n<p>This also means that whenever the monetary expansion stops or slows down, or even, perhaps, fails to accelerate, the resulting patterned use of labor, resources, and capital equipment brought into existence due to the way the money has entered into the economy and is being spent, period-after-period, begins to fall apart. This precipitates a readjustment process during which it is discovered that labor, capital and resources have been directed into allocated and applied for uses that are unsustainable once the inflationary process comes to an end.</p>\n<p><b>The Fed’s Monetary Expansion and Bank Reserve Tricks</b></p>\n<p>For over ten years, since the financial and housing crisis of 2008-2009, the Federal Reserve has been dramatically expanding the money supply. In January 2008, the&nbsp;Monetary Base&nbsp;(loanable reserves in the banking system plus currency in general circulation) equaled $837 billion; by August 2014, the Monetary Base had been expanded to over $4 trillion. In February 2020, just before the Coronavirus crisis impacted the U.S. in terms of the government mandated lockdowns and shutdowns, it still was historically high at $3.45 trillion; but by July 2021, the Monetary Base stood at $6.13 trillion, or a nearly 78 percent increase just in the last year and a half.</p>\n<p><b>Why has there not been the expected general price inflation from such a huge increase in the money supply through the banking system? Because the Federal Reserve has been paying banks not to fully lend the loanable reserves at their disposal.</b>As a result, as of&nbsp;July 2021, banks were holding “excess reserves,” (that is, reserves above the minimum Federal Reserve rules require banks to hold against possible cash withdrawals by their depositors), of around $3.9 trillion, upon which the Federal Reserve&nbsp;pays&nbsp;those banks an interest rate of 0.15 percent.

What they got is what Harry Truman complained about when hearing from his economic advisors:“On the one hand, ‘this,’ but on the other hand, ‘that’.”Truman said that he desperately wanted a one-handed economist.\nAfter a decade of general economic calm most of the time, with modest to reasonable growth, relatively low price inflation, and, at the beginning of 2020 before the Coronavirus lockdowns, unemployment at its lowest level in half a century,everyone is now worried about what to expect from the Federal Reserve in terms of monetary and interest rate policy in the months and years ahead in the face of all that has been happening for the last year and a half.\nWhipsaw GDP and Huge Government Expenditures\nAfter a staggering decline in real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from $19.2 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2019 to $17.2 trillion in the second quarter of 2020, or a 9 percent decrease of real GDP in a matter of a few months, the latest revised estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) for the second quarter of 2021 is that real GDP reached $19.36 trillion. This was a 12.5 percent increase over its 2020 low, and a level now above its pre-Coronavirus high.\nIt is worth keeping in mind, however, that all of these numbers are exaggerated in terms of real private sector vibrancy because in 2019, federal government expenditures came to $4.45 trillion, or 23 percent of that $19.2 trillion GDP total.By the end of 2020, due to the relaxing of the federal and state lockdown and shutdown mandates over much of the U.S. economy in the second half of last year, real GDP had recovered to $18.76 trillion, but federal government expenditures came to $6.6 trillion, or 35 percent of that total GDP. And just in the first half of 2021, out of that $19.36 trillion GDP, federal spending has already been $5.86 trillion of that total, or 30.2 percent.\nIf government spending is even partly discounted from GDP as a false indicator of the economic “health” of the U.S., since Uncle Sam has nothing to spend other than what it either first taxes away from the private sector or has borrowed from the financial markets, the private economy is far from doing as well as the GDP numbers suggest.\nLagging Unemployment and Rising Price Inflation\nAfter unemployment had reached a low of 3.5 percent of the labor force at the start of 2020, it rose to almost 15 percent in April of last year, due to the government-commanded halt of a huge amount of economic activity. In July 2021, unemployment had declined to 5.4 percent of the labor force; but this still left it almost 55 percent above its low at the beginning of 2020.\nAfter the Consumer Price Index (CPI) mostly fluctuated in a relatively narrow range of between one and two percent, annually, over the last ten years, 2021 has seen the CPI increase to 5.4 percent in July of this year. Certain subgroups, such as energy and used car automotive sectors increased in double digit ranges on an annualized basis.\nWith unemployment still considered high, with the CPI increasing noticeably above the decade-long annual average, and question marks concerning how GDP will grow for the remainder of this year, given continuing supply-chain disruptions and uncertainties about the impact of variations and new mutations of the Coronavirus, all eyes and ears turned to Jerome Powell’s pronouncements about the future direction of Federal Reserve monetary and interest rate policy.\nPowell’s Maybe This, Maybe That, Policy Pronouncement\nAnd what he said was that the Federal Reserve Board of Governors has not decided what to do!\nOn the one hand, the economy is improving so, perhaps, before the end of the year, the Fed will reduce its current monthly purchase of $120 billion worth of assets – $80 billion of U.S. government securities, and $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities. And it may decide that it is time to no longer use its policy tools to keep key interest rates close to zero.\nOn the other hand, recent price inflation may only be a transitory spurt due to supply-side problems, so the concern about accelerating price increases may be misplaced. Therefore, it may be premature to reduce asset purchases too quickly and certainly it is necessary to be cautious in any nudging up of interest rates that might cut short the national economic recovery before unemployment has been reduced, once again, to a level closer to standard benchmarks of “full employment.”\nOn the one hand, the worst of the Coronavirus may have passed, so there may be no new shutdown hurdles in the way of continuing improvement as reflected in the usual macroeconomic measurements. On the other hand, virus variants may prevent a smooth path to a fully restored and growing economy. So, it may be too soon to really specify when and by how much asset purchases will be reduced or by how much those interest rates will be raised from their current near zero levels.\nThe Fed Chairman also said that, on the one hand, the Fed leadership has plenty of experience and policy tools to keep the economy on a sound and even path. On the other hand, such things as the impact of the Coronavirus and the threats facing the world from global warming are unique, making charting the Fed policy course a distinct challenge.\nPowell’s Reticence and the Political Business Cycle\nIn other words, Jerome Powell evaded any straightforward policy program, and therefore offered something for almost everyone, in terms of easing fears and concerns that either the policy foot will stay too long where it is on the accelerator or will start putting on the brakes too quickly.Either he is being reticent due to honest doubts about what he thinks is ahead for the economy, or he knows how to play to the audience in the White House and in Congress who will decide whether or not he is appointed for a second term as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. After all, you don’t want to seem to be planning any clear policy moves that might threaten the reelection of Senators or Congressmen in the 2022 elections, or antagonize a president who does not want to lose his thin majority in the national legislature.\nThat politicians and central bankers are sensitive to the phases of the business cycle as they may impact the political electoral cycle in thinking about their policy decisions and directions has been understood by some economists at least since Johan Akerman’s (1896-1982) analysis of the “Political Economic Cycle” (Kyklos, May 1947), in which he traced out observed changes in those running governments in democratic societies resulting from the phases in the business cycle, and how those in government attempt to manage public policy to maintain their political positions.\nHistorically, Akerman said, looking over the period from the mid-19th century to 1945 in countries like Great Britain, the United States, Germany, and Sweden, the result of the analysis could be summarized in the following way: “All general economic depressions in England . . . lead to cabinet crises and a change of the party in power . . . In the United States the presidential elections as a rule involve a change in party control when votes are cast during a depression and a maintenance of the party in office when the votes are cast during periods of prosperity,” in sixteen of the twenty elections between 1865 and 1945.\nGovernments, Akerman also pointed out, try “to stabilize financial and economic conditions, and for a brief period may succeed in doing so.” While not pursuing it in his article, the fact is that the underlying circumstances that create “booms” that result in “busts” are usually of the government’s own policy. making. The “good times” monetary and fiscal policies finally create the economic crises that threaten the political policy-makers’ positions in authority. Hence, a government’s frequent demise in the next election when a recession or depression finally occurs. (p. 107)\nInterest Rates Should Coordinate Savings and Investment\nBut this gets to the real essence of the dilemma in Jerome Powell’s statement of Federal Reserve policy and its possible future direction. The underlying presumption is that a central bank can and should be attempting to manage the monetary system and the level of interest rates in the financial markets and, therefore, trying to macro-manage the society as a whole.\nLet us start with interest rates. The role of market prices is to bring into coordinated balance the two sides of demand and supply. Prices do so by effectively informing those needing to know on the supply side what is it that demanders want and the value they place upon it in terms of what they are willing to pay to get it; prices, at the same time, inform demanders what suppliers can and are willing to produce and offer for sale, and at what price reflecting the producer’s opportunity costs of bringing a particular good or service to market. The competitive interaction of those two sides of the market brings about the balance between them.\nThe role of interest rates is to do the same for borrowers and lenders. It is the trading of the use of resources across time between those who are interested and willing to defer the more immediate use of resources (expressed in money) in their possession or under their control, in return for a premium in the future from those interested in more immediate uses of those resources beyond their own capacity in exchange for paying such a premium in the future. That premium is the rate of interest, which may vary with the duration of the loan and risk elements in extending it.\nThe role of the rate of interest is to coordinate the willingness of savers with the desires of borrowers. Any rate of interest above or below this results in, respectively, an excess of savings over investment demand or an excess of investment demand over available savings.\nManipulating Interests Rates Distorts Markets\nThe crucial difference between a price, say, for hats that is set below the market-clearing, or coordinating, level is that a shortage results with some willing buyers leaving the market empty-handed; but when the Federal Reserve, or any central bank, wishes to manipulate interest rates below the market coordinating level, it fills the gap with newly created money with which loans may be extended in excess of actual savings in the economy.\nThis not only results in an increase in the number of units of the medium of exchange through which buyers can express their greater demand for desired goods and services, tending, in general, to place upward pressure on overall market prices. It also influences the structure of relative prices and wages, since increases in the supply of money can only enter the economy through the increased demand for the particular goods, resources, and services those borrowers of that new money wish to purchase and use. But the money is then passed to another group of hands; that is, those who have sold those goods, resources and services to the borrowers. This second group, in turn, spends the new money that they have received from sales on other goods, resources and services for which they wish to increase their demand.\nStep-by-step, in a patterned sequence through time, the newly created money increases the demands and the prices of one set of goods and services, and then another, and then another, until, finally, in principle, all prices for finished goods and the factors of production will have been impacted to one degree or another, at different times in the sequence, with changes in relative profit margins and employment opportunities for as long as the monetary inflationary process continues.\nThis also means that whenever the monetary expansion stops or slows down, or even, perhaps, fails to accelerate, the resulting patterned use of labor, resources, and capital equipment brought into existence due to the way the money has entered into the economy and is being spent, period-after-period, begins to fall apart. This precipitates a readjustment process during which it is discovered that labor, capital and resources have been directed into allocated and applied for uses that are unsustainable once the inflationary process comes to an end.\nThe Fed’s Monetary Expansion and Bank Reserve Tricks\nFor over ten years, since the financial and housing crisis of 2008-2009, the Federal Reserve has been dramatically expanding the money supply. In January 2008, the Monetary Base (loanable reserves in the banking system plus currency in general circulation) equaled $837 billion; by August 2014, the Monetary Base had been expanded to over $4 trillion. In February 2020, just before the Coronavirus crisis impacted the U.S. in terms of the government mandated lockdowns and shutdowns, it still was historically high at $3.45 trillion; but by July 2021, the Monetary Base stood at $6.13 trillion, or a nearly 78 percent increase just in the last year and a half.\nWhy has there not been the expected general price inflation from such a huge increase in the money supply through the banking system? Because the Federal Reserve has been paying banks not to fully lend the loanable reserves at their disposal.As a result, as of July 2021, banks were holding “excess reserves,” (that is, reserves above the minimum Federal Reserve rules require banks to hold against possible cash withdrawals by their depositors), of around $3.9 trillion, upon which the Federal Reserve pays those banks an interest rate of 0.15 percent. In other words, 63 percent of the Monetary Base is being held off the active loan market.\nGiven that real GDP in the United States has increased by over 25 percent since 2010, and the velocity of circulation of money (number of times money turns over in transactions per period of time), has decreased by almost 40 percent over the last ten years or so, it is not too surprising that prices in general have not been rising more, or more rapidly, given these countervailing factors, plus the Federal Reserve’s “trick” of paying banks to not lend all the huge amount of bank reserves their open market operations have created during the past decade.\nMarkets Still Distorted, Even with Low Price Inflation\nIt is nonetheless the case, that through its continuing large purchases of U.S. treasuries and mortgage-backed securities, market interest rates have been artificially pushed significantly below any rates of interest that would prevail on financial markets not manipulated in this manner.\nIt is not unreasonable to ask what informational role market interest rates have been even playing about the real underlying savings and investment borrowing relationship in the economy in such a setting. Federal Reserve monetary and interest rate policy has undermined any reasonably accurate intertemporal price to coordinate saving with borrowing.\nAnother way of saying this is that the Federal Reserve’s monetary central planning has virtually abolished a market-based pricing system for the allocation and use of resources across time. How can anyone easily know what real savings is available to fund investment and other loan uses in a way that is not throwing the economy out of serious balance?\nIn the name of trying to steer the economic “ship” to assure growing GDP, moderate price inflation, and “full employment” of the labor force, Jerome Powell and his fellow Fed Board members are, in fact, setting the stage for an eventual economic downturn by distorting a series of interconnected “microeconomic” relationships in the name of “macroeconomic” stability.\nWhen the Fed chairman cautiously suggests that the American central bankers are not sure what they are going to do, it is because they cannot do what they say they want to do.By trying to pursue their declared goals through the monetary and interest rate policy tools at their disposal, they are, in fact, continuing to imbalance and wrongly “twist” the real economy in ways that will result in the instability, and the eventual recession and likely price inflation they say they wish to prevent.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":276,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":812154107,"gmtCreate":1630567608509,"gmtModify":1631884898089,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/812154107","repostId":"1126883338","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":262,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":816574113,"gmtCreate":1630510114232,"gmtModify":1631884898106,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/816574113","repostId":"2164890060","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":129,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":811548015,"gmtCreate":1630333603437,"gmtModify":1704958675057,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/811548015","repostId":"1175518391","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1175518391","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630331966,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1175518391?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-30

some further clarification by Bloomberg specifying that those features aren't due soon, but rather for future iPhones and should&nbsp;allow users to issue crash reports or text messages in areas without cellular coverage.</p>\n<p>Now, for Apple to even consider adding any satellite-based feature to its global brand would mean a lot for Globalstar, but first, for investors, I make sense of it all.</p>\n<p><b>Reasons for Apple to choose Globalstar</b></p>\n<p>For most of us, our experience with satellite-based internet has meant poor or sometimes erratic connectivity, but these were mostly with the geostationary satellites located far above the earth's surface. Instead, the opportunities offered by Globalstar's Low Earth Orbit (\"LEO\") satellites are much better, especially in areas that don't have 4G or 5G cellular coverage.</p>\n<p>To have an idea of the potential of LEO satellites, one can take a glance at Elon Musk’s SpaceX's (SPACE). These have been deployed at locations in the U.S and the U.K. with several customers already having signed up to the service. Bench-marking by Speedtest showed download speeds of&nbsp;97.23 Mbps,or far superior than those for other traditional providers. This speed was lower than the 115.22 Mbps median speed for fixed broadband providers, but makes sense for \"disadvantaged locations\" where telcos find it uneconomical to lay down additional fiber or expand cellular coverage.</p>\n<p>Therefore, given the enormous potential of the blending between the iPhone and satellite connectivity, news about Apple using Globalstar's network only for emergency purposes seems more aimed at not alarming its telco partners with whom it has been working since decades.</p>\n<p>This blending is made possible by Qualcomm's (NASDAQ:QCOM) inclusion of Globalstar's band n53 in its new 5G X65 modem. This should also expand the satellite operator's potential device ecosystem significantly to include smartphones, laptops and tablets.</p>\n<p>For investors, the&nbsp;Snapdragon X65&nbsp;will be released in the fall of&nbsp;2022, most likely into next year’s iPhone. Better peak performance and other benefits should be there, but some will require carriers to upgrade their networks. On the other hand, with band n53, one can imagine the transformation of future mobility communications with a single operator plan anywhere in the world, without necessitating roaming, with no need to buy local SIM cards.</p>\n<p><b>Globalstar's differentiation</b></p>\n<p>Thus, this is not just about emergency calls or messaging and in a way, shows Globalstar's edge as a satellite network operator over telco's mobile network operations.</p>\n<p>Now, satellite communications is a huge industry, estimated at $56.01 billion&nbsp;in 2019 and expected to hit $99.58 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027. Going deeper, there are several satellite operators and service providers, with Iridium (IRDM) and Orbcomm (ORBC). Other companies are involved in space technology like DISH Networks (DISH) and AT&amp;T (T).</p>\n<p>Here, GlobalStar seems to be having some key strengths with respect to peers.</p>\n<p>According to the company's website, its&nbsp;strategically&nbsp;placed gateways offer local network access and national numbering plans as opposed to other LEO systems that require expensive international dialing for all calls. Also, Globalstar has a unique design which allows it to offer the most attractive local dialing and pricing plans to customers.</p>\n<p>Pursuing further, Globalstar’s 24 ground stations also serve as a bridge between LEO satellites and traditional communications infrastructure on six continents, with coverage spanning across over 120 countries throughout the world. Furthermore, the second generation ground infrastructure is based on the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (\"IMS\") protocol, which facilitates the use of IP (Internet Protocol) for packet communications over wireless or landline.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1ab07af4d39eb03b1776e870748b773f\" tg-width=\"828\" tg-height=\"468\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: globalstar.com</span></p>\n<p>Consequently, Globalstar brings some attractive metrics for a behemoth like Apple looking to penetrate new markets. In this respect, according to a source, more than&nbsp;five billion mobile subscribers&nbsp;constantly move in and out of wireless coverage, representing a huge TAM.</p>\n<p>Bagging a contract with Apple, even a partial one, or in partnership with another peer would increase the volume of new subscribers, which should in turn more than offset the current revenue impact from lower ARPU (Average Revenue per User).</p>\n<p><b>The revenues</b></p>\n<p>Overall sales have gone down in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year as higher revenue generated from subscriber equipment related to SPOT (the largest segment) was offset by lower service revenues. For investors, SPOT is a GPS tracking device that uses Globalstar's satellite network to provide text messaging and GPS tracking.</p>\n<p>Looking deeper, service revenue also decreased over the prior year's quarter due to fewer Duplex subscribers, with the decline expected to continue as Globalstar focuses resources on other revenue streams, like IoT-enabled devices. This is done in light of the shift in demand across the MSS (mobile satellite services) industry.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e8b74a670c927d2d84f1751cfd4a148\" tg-width=\"498\" tg-height=\"457\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Seeking Alpha</span></p>\n<p>Interestingly, service revenues generated from commercial IoT subscribers increased 5% in the second quarter of 2021 driven by higher ARPU compared to the prior year's quarter. Additionally, IoT equipment sales were up significantly from the prior year period, which is a key indication of future service revenue growth.</p>\n<p>Thinking aloud, lower ARPU for SPOT also points to competition, with Globalstar competing aggressively on price in the industrial, governmental and consumer markets. Looking at&nbsp;satellite phones and communication gadgets, some of the competitors include Garmin's (GRMN) InReach, Iridium Go and the Thuraya X5-Touch, which is a dual-SIM Android smartphone.</p>\n<p>As a result, the company has to cut prices with its “competitively-priced service plans being lower than historic rates”. Therefore, SPOT revenues should continue to decline in the near term, with higher volumes of activations not being able to offset the effects of lower ARPU on sales.</p>\n<p>A comparison with rival Iridium shows contrasting revenue trends, with Globalstar being on a fluctuating trend since the end of 2019, coinciding with more competition.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4be74c4a607fae52a664620ba3cf9d68\" tg-width=\"455\" tg-height=\"310\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Source: Charts built through data from Seeking Alpha.</span></p>\n<p>Therefore, adopting a cautionary posture, a change in the revenue-generating model geared towards IoT may take time to execute, whereby sales figures could drop further. This may in turn lead to missing topline expectations during the third quarter results, causing the share price to dip. For this matter, as I had pointed out in my previousthesis, one of the risks in investing in Globalstar is its dependence on the fortunes of the oil and gas industry.</p>\n<p>On the positive side, the company continues to reduce leverage, with less than $50 million of net first lien principal outstanding at the end of Q2-2021.</p>\n<p>As of June 30, 2021, the company held $15.7 million and $51.0 million of cash and restricted cash respectively. Globalstar has received an additional&nbsp;$37.5 million&nbsp;in advance payment from a customer. The new payment is under \"substantially the same terms\" as a similar $37.5 million payment received on&nbsp;June 9. As with the other payment, Globalstar will use the new $37.5 million in proceeds to pay down indebtedness under its first-lien credit facility. In the last report, the company had&nbsp;$313.4 million&nbsp;in long-term debt.</p>\n<p><b>Valuations and key takeaways</b></p>\n<p>As much as 16% of revenues were derived from IoT in the first six months of 2021, up from 14% in the same period last year. Now, in a market growing at&nbsp;10.1%&nbsp;from 2019 to 2025, there is a lot of scope, but it will also depend on Globalstar's ability to meaningfully identify, pursue and close large deals. This should contribute to further diversify its revenue base away from full Duplex.</p>\n<p>The company has also performed successful field testing for remote monitoring in the alternative energy industry, which it expects to materialize into future sales, but without mentioning a timeline.</p>\n<p>Furthermore, this is a loss-making company with losses from operations having increased by $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year. Earnings per share which was&nbsp;-$0.01&nbsp;for the second quarter is expected to be the same in the third one. This compares to positive figures for the communications sector, which boasts forward Price to Earnings multiples of&nbsp;20x. This signifies no buying opportunity based on fundamentals.</p>\n<p>The only way Globalstar's loss status could change rapidly is commercialization of its n53 spectrum in the U.S. and other countries through presence in the iPhone ecosystem. A partnership with Apple will permit expansion of the satellite communications business, more effective utilization of network assets and enable Globalstar to leapfrog rivals. The fact that both companies work with Qualcomm is a positive for Globalstar.</p>\n<p>This said, in absence of corporate announcements, Globalstar's stock has been surging amid ongoing speculation that its satellite communication technology may be included in Apple's new iPhone models, resulting in&nbsp;high&nbsp;Price to Sales multiples of over 2000% with respect to the communications sector.</p>\n<p>Consequently, for rational investors, it is preferable to wait for an update at the\"California Streaming\" event&nbsp;on September 14 before making a decision. In the meantime, the stock could drop to the $2 support level.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>One Small Step From Apple Could Mean A Giant Leap For GlobalStar</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;

On the other hand, with band n53, one can imagine the transformation of future mobility communications with a single operator plan anywhere in the world, without necessitating roaming, with no need to buy local SIM cards.\nGlobalstar's differentiation\nThus, this is not just about emergency calls or messaging and in a way, shows Globalstar's edge as a satellite network operator over telco's mobile network operations.\nNow, satellite communications is a huge industry, estimated at $56.01 billion in 2019 and expected to hit $99.58 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027. Going deeper, there are several satellite operators and service providers, with Iridium (IRDM) and Orbcomm (ORBC). Other companies are involved in space technology like DISH Networks (DISH) and AT&T (T).\nHere, GlobalStar seems to be having some key strengths with respect to peers.\nAccording to the company's website, its strategically placed gateways offer local network access and national numbering plans as opposed to other LEO systems that require expensive international dialing for all calls. Also, Globalstar has a unique design which allows it to offer the most attractive local dialing and pricing plans to customers.\nPursuing further, Globalstar’s 24 ground stations also serve as a bridge between LEO satellites and traditional communications infrastructure on six continents, with coverage spanning across over 120 countries throughout the world. Furthermore, the second generation ground infrastructure is based on the Internet protocol multimedia subsystem (\"IMS\") protocol, which facilitates the use of IP (Internet Protocol) for packet communications over wireless or landline.\nSource: globalstar.com\nConsequently, Globalstar brings some attractive metrics for a behemoth like Apple looking to penetrate new markets. In this respect, according to a source, more than five billion mobile subscribers constantly move in and out of wireless coverage, representing a huge TAM.\nBagging a contract with Apple, even a partial one, or in partnership with another peer would increase the volume of new subscribers, which should in turn more than offset the current revenue impact from lower ARPU (Average Revenue per User).\nThe revenues\nOverall sales have gone down in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year as higher revenue generated from subscriber equipment related to SPOT (the largest segment) was offset by lower service revenues. For investors, SPOT is a GPS tracking device that uses Globalstar's satellite network to provide text messaging and GPS tracking.\nLooking deeper, service revenue also decreased over the prior year's quarter due to fewer Duplex subscribers, with the decline expected to continue as Globalstar focuses resources on other revenue streams, like IoT-enabled devices. This is done in light of the shift in demand across the MSS (mobile satellite services) industry.\nSource: Seeking Alpha\nInterestingly, service revenues generated from commercial IoT subscribers increased 5% in the second quarter of 2021 driven by higher ARPU compared to the prior year's quarter. Additionally, IoT equipment sales were up significantly from the prior year period, which is a key indication of future service revenue growth.\nThinking aloud, lower ARPU for SPOT also points to competition, with Globalstar competing aggressively on price in the industrial, governmental and consumer markets. Looking at satellite phones and communication gadgets, some of the competitors include Garmin's (GRMN) InReach, Iridium Go and the Thuraya X5-Touch, which is a dual-SIM Android smartphone.\nAs a result, the company has to cut prices with its “competitively-priced service plans being lower than historic rates”. Therefore, SPOT revenues should continue to decline in the near term, with higher volumes of activations not being able to offset the effects of lower ARPU on sales.\nA comparison with rival Iridium shows contrasting revenue trends, with Globalstar being on a fluctuating trend since the end of 2019, coinciding with more competition.\nSource: Charts built through data from Seeking Alpha.\nTherefore, adopting a cautionary posture, a change in the revenue-generating model geared towards IoT may take time to execute, whereby sales figures could drop further. This may in turn lead to missing topline expectations during the third quarter results, causing the share price to dip. For this matter, as I had pointed out in my previousthesis, one of the risks in investing in Globalstar is its dependence on the fortunes of the oil and gas industry.\nOn the positive side, the company continues to reduce leverage, with less than $50 million of net first lien principal outstanding at the end of Q2-2021.\nAs of June 30, 2021, the company held $15.7 million and $51.0 million of cash and restricted cash respectively. Globalstar has received an additional $37.5 million in advance payment from a customer. The new payment is under \"substantially the same terms\" as a similar $37.5 million payment received on June 9. As with the other payment, Globalstar will use the new $37.5 million in proceeds to pay down indebtedness under its first-lien credit facility. In the last report, the company had $313.4 million in long-term debt.\nValuations and key takeaways\nAs much as 16% of revenues were derived from IoT in the first six months of 2021, up from 14% in the same period last year. Now, in a market growing at 10.1% from 2019 to 2025, there is a lot of scope, but it will also depend on Globalstar's ability to meaningfully identify, pursue and close large deals. This should contribute to further diversify its revenue base away from full Duplex.\nThe company has also performed successful field testing for remote monitoring in the alternative energy industry, which it expects to materialize into future sales, but without mentioning a timeline.\nFurthermore, this is a loss-making company with losses from operations having increased by $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year. Earnings per share which was -$0.01 for the second quarter is expected to be the same in the third one. This compares to positive figures for the communications sector, which boasts forward Price to Earnings multiples of 20x. This signifies no buying opportunity based on fundamentals.\nThe only way Globalstar's loss status could change rapidly is commercialization of its n53 spectrum in the U.S. and other countries through presence in the iPhone ecosystem. A partnership with Apple will permit expansion of the satellite communications business, more effective utilization of network assets and enable Globalstar to leapfrog rivals. The fact that both companies work with Qualcomm is a positive for Globalstar.\nThis said, in absence of corporate announcements, Globalstar's stock has been surging amid ongoing speculation that its satellite communication technology may be included in Apple's new iPhone models, resulting in high Price to Sales multiples of over 2000% with respect to the communications sector.\nConsequently, for rational investors, it is preferable to wait for an update at the\"California Streaming\" event on September 14 before making a decision. In the meantime, the stock could drop to the $2 support level.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":551,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":880795197,"gmtCreate":1631079459619,"gmtModify":1631884898070,"author":{"id":"3576847817239184","authorId":"3576847817239184","name":"Bmaiw102","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3576847817239184","authorIdStr":"3576847817239184"},"themes":[],"htmlText":".","listText":".","text":".","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/880795197","repostId":"1145502609","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1145502609","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1631078751,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1145502609?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-08 13:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hedge Funds vs. Mutual Funds: What's Better?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1145502609","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"Hedge funds and mutual funds share several similarities and many differences.

Those criteria could be very specific like buying&nbsp;pharmaceutical stocks&nbsp;the manager thinks are undervalued based on certain metrics, or they could be very general like simply buying every stock in the&nbsp;<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>. There's a wide range of strategies available to mutual fund investors, and the details are laid out for investors in the prospectus.</p>\n<p><b>Types of mutual funds</b></p>\n<p>There are a few different types of mutual funds investors should be aware of.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Actively managed vs. passive funds.</b>Actively managed mutual funds&nbsp;are characterized by a fund manager who attempts to beat the fund's benchmark index by strategically buying and selling securities. Passive funds, or&nbsp;index funds, merely try to replicate the returns of the benchmark index by modeling a portfolio based on the index. Sometimes, the fund will just buy every security in the index.</li>\n <li><b>Open-ended vs. closed-ended funds.</b>Open-ended funds have no limit to the number of shares they can issue. Investors simply buy shares, and the fund manager takes new inflows and allocates them to the appropriate securities. Closed-ended funds have a limited number of shares, so the portfolio manager doesn't have to deal with inflows or outflows. In order to buy or sell shares, you have to find a buyer or seller on the open market.</li>\n <li><b>Load vs. no-load funds.</b>Funds with a load pay a commission to the broker who sells the investor the fund. The commission comes out of the investor's funds either at purchase (front-loaded) or at the sale of the mutual fund (back-loaded). No-load funds do not have such a commission.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Who can invest?</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds are available to every investor. Some funds may have a minimum investment ranging from $100 to $10,000 or more. More and more funds have no minimum investment these days.</p>\n<p><b>How mutual fund fees work</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds charge a management fee, which typically ranges between 1% and 2% of assets under management. Index funds usually have much lower fees. Some broad-based index funds have fees close to&nbsp;0%.</p>\n<p>Note that the management fee is separate from the fees paid in loaded funds where the broker receives some of the investors' funds as well. The management fee goes directly to the mutual fund company, and it's paid annually.</p>\n<p><b>How are mutual funds regulated?</b></p>\n<p>Mutual funds must register with the SEC in order to sell shares publicly. The SEC enforces several regulations, including the Securities Act of 1933, which requires mutual funds to provide investors with certain information, including a description of the fund, information about management, and financial statements. The Investment Company Act of 1940 also requires mutual funds to provide details of their financial health and investment policies.</p>\n<p><b>What are hedge funds?</b></p>\n<p>A&nbsp;hedge fund&nbsp;is designed as a way for individual investors to gain access to the investment ideas and strategies of fund managers they believe have an edge on the market. Hedge funds are structured as general partnerships, and investors buy into the investment company directly as limited partners instead of buying publicly offered shares.</p>\n<p><b>Investment strategies</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds aren't limited in the strategies they can use in order to produce positive and outsized returns for their investors. Hedge funds will use derivatives such as&nbsp;options&nbsp;and&nbsp;margin&nbsp;to gain leverage, and they maysell stocks short.</p>\n<p>Hedge funds are also able to invest in just about any market:cryptocurrency, private real estate, or vintage single malt scotch. These are strategies unavailable in mutual funds due to SEC regulations. They're also much riskier strategies than simply buying publicly traded securities.</p>\n<p><b>Who can invest?</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds are only able to accept funds from accredited investors. The SEC defines an accredited investor as someone with a liquid net worth (home equity doesn't count) of $1 million or an annual income of $200,000 (or $300,000 with a spouse). The SEC believes that level of wealth makes an investor more sophisticated and better able to withstand the volatility and uncertainty associated with hedge funds.</p>\n<p>Hedge funds often have minimum investments of $1 million or more. They typically limit investment windows, and they can have minimum holding periods. They can also restrict when investors can withdraw. As such, hedge fund investors require a good amount of liquidity outside of their investment in the hedge fund.</p>\n<p><b>How hedge fund fees work</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds charge two types of fees: management fees and performance fees. A management fee is similar to the management fee for a mutual fund. The fund charges anexpense ratio, typically 2%, that's taken out of the assets under management every year.</p>\n<p>The performance fee, as the name implies, is based on the fund's performance, and it's usually 20% of the gains. So, if the fund increases by 10% one year, the fund takes 20% of the gains (2% of the investment), and the rest stays invested with the fund. If the fund loses money, there's no performance fee, but the investors still have to pay the management fee.</p>\n<p>The most typical fee structure — a 2% management fee and a 20% performance fee — is known as 2-and-20.</p>\n<p><b>How are hedge funds regulated?</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds only have to register with the SEC once they reach total assets under management of above $100 million. Beyond that, they must abide by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 and limit their investors to accredited investors. That allows them to remain exempt from most reporting to the SEC and makes investing in a hedge fund much more opaque than investing in a mutual fund.</p>\n<p><b>Additional considerations</b></p>\n<p>Hedge funds have shown worsening performance over the past 15 years or so even as the U.S. stock market has been on a tear. In fact, in&nbsp;bull markets, mutual funds may provide better returns than hedge funds net of fees since alternative investment strategies fail to keep up with the stock market.</p>\n<p>That said, those strategies can be invaluable in&nbsp;bear markets. If the strategies have returns truly uncorrelated with U.S. stocks, they could provide positive returns as the stock market craters. That's when a hedge fund will really live up to its name.</p>\n<p>While hedge funds hold the promise of big returns supported by advanced trading strategies, they can go for long periods without producing the expected results. For patient investors, they could pay off.</p>\n<p>But perhaps the age when hedge funds could outperform the average investor is over. Today's technology makes it easier for retail investors to invest and use their own strategies, whether they're exceedingly simple or super complex. For most investors, a mutual fund will be able to meet all of their investing needs, but they're a bit more boring than hedge funds.
