Rather than be limited to the few apps that came on your Nokia device, you could use one of the thousands of apps sold by third-party developers on the iPhone. This was the beginning of a world-beating ecosystem.</p>\n<p>Today, Apple's ecosystem has grown in a significant way. The growth of that ecosystem means that Apple \"fanboys\" would have to spend thousands of dollars, or work through significant inconveniences to switch.</p>\n<p>Consider the user that has subscriptions to several apps, Air Pods, an Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and perhaps a MacBook. That person is not an outlier.

The tie-in, however, is real. Apple make world-class products that users love.

Apple, as of its last report, has $35B in cash on hand and $155B in marketable securities (a mix of current and non-current). With $190B in capital that the company can still deploy, Apple is certainly in an enviable position.</p>\n<p><b>Valuation: Rich</b></p>\n<p>Those metrics are not unknown, but they are incredible. It's no surprise that Apple will likely cross $3T market cap in the next year or so, but is the company worth buying at these high levels?</p>\n<p>As mentioned above, I view Apple as an almost cash like position. In a world of inflation, Apple has the balance sheet to carry it through, it has significant pricing power, and it has exceptionally high margins on its products to be able to weather the storm. Would you rather your money lose 5% of its buying power per year, or grow in an American titan like Apple?</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/159a160cc869ef1cc00bd4eb8db7bd93\" tg-width=\"1280\" tg-height=\"720\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image: A mockup VR headset via BGR</span></p>\n<p>A valuation of Apple also has to include the potential for an Apple Car, or the AR/VR headsets that will be with us within the next 18-months. These types of projects have been kept well under wraps, but considering the valuations of EV manufacturers like Tesla (TSLA) and Rivian (RIVN), the market will reward Apple rather richly for a well-executed product.</p>\n<p>An Apple car with deep iOS integration,as is speculated, would further drive the ecosystem flywheel. In fact, it would take that flywheel to unimaginable levels. Imagine trying to leave an ecosystem where you have to replace a $50K (and I'm probably being cheap) car, a phone, a computer... it's quite the lock in.</p>\n<p>Taking AR/VR into account, one would have to consider that AR could be a cannibalizing force for the iPhone. If one can see all they need through lenses and control those lenses through gestures or the Apple Watch, Apple could cannibalize the phone market.</p>\n<p>That, however, is a good thing. Apple could price a novel item like AR glasses with higher margins than a phone. Fans and tech enthusiasts would pay that early adopter price and others would soon follow suit if the product lives up to the hype. It gets Apple out of the \"$1,000 for a phone\" line of thinking.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/88a008b34566e3309b095ad284807d12\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"417\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p>All this to say, Apple's rich valuation today is a worthy one. At a PE of ~29, it's hardly extortionate, but it is outside of Apple's average over the last five years.</p>\n<p>The ecosystem, one that ties its customers in for life, is where the value lies here and Apple has plans to expand that with vehicles and wearables. Even at a PE of 29, I believe this to be a secure long-term investment that will pay investors a dividend, albeit small, along the way while continuing to retire billions of dollars in stock ($315B authorized ~10%).</p>\n<p><b>Addressing The Risks</b></p>\n<p>Fear and inflation. Fear is the largest and most significant risk that Apple faces. Buyers told that bad times are coming tend to zip up their pocketbooks. Buyers who have to spend 10% more on groceries suddenly don't have enough to buy the latest iPhone.</p>\n<p>These are external concerns that Apple has little control over. The company has, over the years, introduced buy-now-pay-later and subscription programs that help buyers get the goods they want at an affordable monthly price, and, as discussed, Apple has substantial margins that it could use to overcome significant headwinds in this space.</p>\n<p>Execution is another risk Apple faces, especially as we look to these \"futuristic\" products. A self-driving car could be worth trillions of dollars in lifetime revenues, or it could be a dud upon release that never gets full approval to operate on the streets. Likewise, an AR headset that no one wants to be seen wearing, or that proves difficult to wear through the day, could be a dead-on-arrival product.</p>\n<p>Given the nature of these two products and the secrecy surrounding their development, one cannot truly assign a real risk rating to them. They're just things to be aware of. Apple does have a history of great execution (MacBook keyboard and Touch Bar aside), however, so an investor should feel at least somewhat comfortable that the company will put its best foot forward.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>At a valuation nearing $3T one would assume there isn't much room left to run in Apple, but investors still stand to beat the overall market in this name thanks to excellent capital allocation.</p>\n<p>Apple has $315B in authorized buybacks and returns some $14.5B in dividends each year. Apple will likely buyback close to $100B in stock during its 2022 fiscal year which, alone, represents a 3.7% return on today's prices. Combined with a dividend yield of 0.6%, investors will make 4.3% on this name through shareholder friendly practices alone.</p>\n<p>Those numbers will compound too, another $100B in 2023, $100B in 2024, it all adds up. That $300B is all authorized too.</p>\n<p>Along with those buybacks and dividends, investors are buying into a company that, last year, defied laws of large numbers and grew its top-line at 33%. While unlikely this year, I still expect that the wearables and services divisions will grow at double digits which will allow Apple to see high single-digit revenue growth through the coming 3-5 years.</p>\n<p>Those with a bearish view on Apple act as though this juggernaut will vanish overnight, but that's simply not true. Sure, you're unlikely to pull down 30%+ annual returns going forward, but if you're looking for a high-quality stable business that can beat the market little-by-little, Apple is a great horse (or car) to back.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: A True 'Never Sell' Position</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: A True 'Never Sell' Position\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-07 22:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWith $315B in authorized share buybacks and a 0.6% yield, Apple should return 4.3% on shareholder-friendly practices alone.\nIn addition, the company will still see double-digit growth in ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162682713","content_text":"Summary\n\nWith $315B in authorized share buybacks and a 0.6% yield, Apple should return 4.3% on shareholder-friendly practices alone.\nIn addition, the company will still see double-digit growth in wearables and services, even if iPhone slows down a little.\nThe Apple ecosystem also stands to get more intertwined with a potential Apple Car and AR/VR plays.\n\nCatLane/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nAt an almost $3T market cap, I am still a holder of Apple (AAPL).

Imagine trying to leave an ecosystem where you have to replace a $50K (and I'm probably being cheap) car, a phone, a computer... it's quite the lock in.\nTaking AR/VR into account, one would have to consider that AR could be a cannibalizing force for the iPhone. If one can see all they need through lenses and control those lenses through gestures or the Apple Watch, Apple could cannibalize the phone market.\nThat, however, is a good thing. Apple could price a novel item like AR glasses with higher margins than a phone. Fans and tech enthusiasts would pay that early adopter price and others would soon follow suit if the product lives up to the hype. It gets Apple out of the \"$1,000 for a phone\" line of thinking.\nData by YCharts\nAll this to say, Apple's rich valuation today is a worthy one. At a PE of ~29, it's hardly extortionate, but it is outside of Apple's average over the last five years.\nThe ecosystem, one that ties its customers in for life, is where the value lies here and Apple has plans to expand that with vehicles and wearables. Even at a PE of 29, I believe this to be a secure long-term investment that will pay investors a dividend, albeit small, along the way while continuing to retire billions of dollars in stock ($315B authorized ~10%).\nAddressing The Risks\nFear and inflation. Fear is the largest and most significant risk that Apple faces. Buyers told that bad times are coming tend to zip up their pocketbooks. Buyers who have to spend 10% more on groceries suddenly don't have enough to buy the latest iPhone.\nThese are external concerns that Apple has little control over. The company has, over the years, introduced buy-now-pay-later and subscription programs that help buyers get the goods they want at an affordable monthly price, and, as discussed, Apple has substantial margins that it could use to overcome significant headwinds in this space.\nExecution is another risk Apple faces, especially as we look to these \"futuristic\" products. A self-driving car could be worth trillions of dollars in lifetime revenues, or it could be a dud upon release that never gets full approval to operate on the streets. Likewise, an AR headset that no one wants to be seen wearing, or that proves difficult to wear through the day, could be a dead-on-arrival product.\nGiven the nature of these two products and the secrecy surrounding their development, one cannot truly assign a real risk rating to them. They're just things to be aware of. Apple does have a history of great execution (MacBook keyboard and Touch Bar aside), however, so an investor should feel at least somewhat comfortable that the company will put its best foot forward.\nFinal Thoughts\nAt a valuation nearing $3T one would assume there isn't much room left to run in Apple, but investors still stand to beat the overall market in this name thanks to excellent capital allocation.\nApple has $315B in authorized buybacks and returns some $14.5B in dividends each year. Apple will likely buyback close to $100B in stock during its 2022 fiscal year which, alone, represents a 3.7% return on today's prices. Combined with a dividend yield of 0.6%, investors will make 4.3% on this name through shareholder friendly practices alone.\nThose numbers will compound too, another $100B in 2023, $100B in 2024, it all adds up. That $300B is all authorized too.\nAlong with those buybacks and dividends, investors are buying into a company that, last year, defied laws of large numbers and grew its top-line at 33%. While unlikely this year, I still expect that the wearables and services divisions will grow at double digits which will allow Apple to see high single-digit revenue growth through the coming 3-5 years.\nThose with a bearish view on Apple act as though this juggernaut will vanish overnight, but that's simply not true. Sure, you're unlikely to pull down 30%+ annual returns going forward, but if you're looking for a high-quality stable business that can beat the market little-by-little, Apple is a great horse (or car) to back.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1890,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":606543316,"gmtCreate":1638907585319,"gmtModify":1638907585319,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go Apple!&nbsp;","listText":"Go Apple!&nbsp;","text":"Go Apple!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/606543316","repostId":"1159685639","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159685639","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1638888367,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159685639?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-07 22:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159685639","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high after the company got another street-high target on vir","content":"<p>Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high&nbsp;after&nbsp;the&nbsp;company&nbsp;got another street-high target on virtual reality boost.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb9792aa89d24847aee38f67d56067eb\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Apple Inc.&nbsp;got its second Street-high price target as Morgan Stanley sees it benefiting from new product categories in virtual reality and autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Analyst Katy Huberty, who rates Apple overweight, raised her price target to $200 from $164, matching Wedbush as the highest among targets tracked by Bloomberg. </p>\n<p>While investors have struggled to value the iPhone maker’s new products given the company’s secrecy, Huberty expects augmented and virtual reality, as well as autonomous vehicles, to eventually be priced in, and says Apple should also benefit from a “flight to quality” in technology stocks.</p>\n<p>“Despite a consistent and material revenue contribution from new products and services over time, Apple shares don’t seem to bake in the impact from upcoming new product launches,” Huberty wrote in a note. “We believe this will change as Apple approaches the launch of an AR/VR product over the next year.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d1d69bd985c3b74963515674f2da918\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Apple’s shares have surged 25% this year and ended Monday’s session at a fresh record.

Since bottoming out in March 2020, the benchmark&nbsp;<b>S&amp;P 500</b>&nbsp;has been practically unstoppable. In what's become the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear-market bottom on record, the S&amp;P 500 has delivered a total return, including dividends, of 111% since March 23, 2020.</p>\n<p>But even with the broader market a stone's throw from an all-time high, incredible deals still abound. The following three top stocks all possess attributes that can help make you richer in December, and, most importantly, well beyond.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5d06d7202e9c1d1c4d748bc3e1a80774\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1334\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p><b>Sea Limited</b></p>\n<p>For you unbridledgrowth investors, the stock that could make you a lot richer this month and well beyond is Singapore-based&nbsp;<b>Sea Limited</b>.</p>\n<p>Sea has had a monumental run-up since the bear-market bottom 20 months ago. Shares are up a cool 672% -- and that's after a 20% pullback from its all-time closing high on Oct. 19. With inflation picking up and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) variant concerns rearing their head, most growth stocks have taken it on the chin. But neither U.S. inflation nor COVID-19 variants are of concern to Sea Limited's three rapidly growing operating segments.</p>\n<p>For the time being, the only division generating positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is its mobile gaming unit, led by<i>Free Fire</i>. When the curtain closed on September, the company had 729 million quarterly active gamers.</p>\n<p>But it's not the number of gamers that's impressive. It's that 12.8% of these gamers (93.2 million) were paying to play. The pay-to-play conversion rate for the mobile gaming industry was closer to 2% in 2020.&nbsp; As long as Sea is generating revenue from users at a considerably higher clip than the industry average, it should command a valuation premium.</p>\n<p>The second rapidly growing segment is digital financial services. Though this division is still relatively nascent, the number of paying mobile wallet users grew to 39.3 million in the third quarter. Since many of the regions targeted by Sea are underbanked emerging markets, offering digital financial tools that can democratize the payment process&nbsp;could be a long-term game-changer.</p>\n<p>But the third and&nbsp;most exciting operating segment&nbsp;is its e-commerce division, Shopee. Among downloadable shopping apps, Shopee consistently reigns supreme in Southeastern Asia. Between COVID-19 keeping people in their homes and middle-class consumers fueling buying activity in emerging market economies, Shopee is set up for success. In fact, its annual gross merchandise value (GMV) run-rate of $67.2 billion (based on third-quarter 2021 figures) is more than six times higher than the GMV the company reported in all of 2018.</p>\n<p>Sea Limited could very well be one of the fastest-growing mega-cap stocks on the planet this decade.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d8ba66a74371fb87c9a662943abcdd4\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p><b>Planet 13 Holdings</b></p>\n<p>Another top stock with all the tools necessary to make investors richer in December and for many years in the future is U.S.&nbsp;marijuana stock&nbsp;<b>Planet 13 Holdings</b>.</p>\n<p>Easily the biggest objection to investing in U.S. pot stocks is the fact that Congress still hasn't enacted cannabis legalization efforts. While it would make life easier for marijuana companies if the federal government would enact reforms, the vast majority of publicly traded pot stocks are primed for success if the status quo continues. With&nbsp;36 states&nbsp;having legalized weed in some capacity, and the Department of Justice maintaining a hands-off policy, U.S. cannabis stocks like Planet 13 can bloom into successful businesses.</p>\n<p>For the vast majority of multi-state operators (MSOs), their strategy consists of targeting big-dollar markets and planting their proverbial flag in as many states as possible. But this isn't how Planet 13 operates. It&nbsp;gets its competitive edge&nbsp;by focusing just as much on the immersive shopping experience as it does on making a sale.</p>\n<p>For the moment, Planet 13&nbsp;has just two operating dispensaries. The first is the Las Vegas SuperStore just west of the Strip. It's 112,000 square feet in size and contains a restaurant, events center, and consumer-facing processing center. In July 2021, Planet 13 opened its Orange County SuperStore about 10 minutes from Disneyland in Santa Ana, California. It spans 55,000 square feet and features a whopping 16,500 square feet of selling space.'</p>\n<p>Planet 13's stores are a must-see for cannabis tourists as well as locals. In fact, significantly reduced tourist traffic to Las Vegas during the pandemic forced the company to begin focusing on local residents. With Las Vegas tourism returning to some semblance of normal, Planet 13 now has both tourist appeal and a strong local resident following.</p>\n<p>The company has also had quite a bit of success launching its own cannabis brands. According to Headset, via third-quarter commentary from Planet 13 CEO Larry Scheffler, Trendi comprises 5% of Nevada's vape sales, with HaHa edibles accounting for 14% of the Silver State's edible sales.</p>\n<p>With Planet 13 on the cusp of recurring profitability and more than 50% below its February high, the time for opportunistic investors to pounce is now.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/106238ec5cefb2975d9231f3547e445c\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1333\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<p><b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b></p>\n<p>As for you&nbsp;value investors, the top stock that can make you richer in December and beyond is brand-name and generic drug developer&nbsp;<b>Teva Pharmaceutical Industries</b>.</p>\n<p>Teva has dealt with a laundry list of bad news events over the five years. The company settled bribery charges with U.S. regulators, grossly overpaid for generic drugmaker Actavis, completely shelved its dividend, and saw its top-selling drug -- multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone -- lose patent exclusivity. But the biggest concern of late is the ongoing litigation Teva is facing over its role in the opioid crisis.</p>\n<p>While these are not the types of hurdles that get leaped in a single bound, Teva's CEO Kare Schultz&nbsp;has done an exemplary job&nbsp;of getting the company back on track. Schultz is a bona fide turnaround specialist who's been with the company for a little over four years. In that time, he's reduced Teva's net debt from more than $34 billion to around $22 billion. This has been accomplished by selling off non-core assets, reducing annual operating expenses by billions of dollars, and utilizing the company's bountiful operating cash flow to pay down debt. There no question that Teva is a more financially sound company now than when Schultz was first given the reins.</p>\n<p>Schultz is expected to play a key role in&nbsp;helping Teva navigate a sea of litigation, too. With the company focused on reducing debt, Schultz will aim to settle litigation with minimal amounts of cash. Instead, look for the company to offer free or reduced-price medication to states over roughly a decade as a way of potentially settling opioid litigation. It also doesn't hurt that a California trial found drugmakers weren't liable for the opioid epidemic.

Since bottoming out in March 2020, the benchmark S&P 500 has been practically unstoppable. In what's become the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear-market bottom on record, the S&P 500 has delivered a total return, including dividends, of 111% since March 23, 2020.\nBut even with the broader market a stone's throw from an all-time high, incredible deals still abound. The following three top stocks all possess attributes that can help make you richer in December, and, most importantly, well beyond.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSea Limited\nFor you unbridledgrowth investors, the stock that could make you a lot richer this month and well beyond is Singapore-based Sea Limited.\nSea has had a monumental run-up since the bear-market bottom 20 months ago. Shares are up a cool 672% -- and that's after a 20% pullback from its all-time closing high on Oct. 19. With inflation picking up and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) variant concerns rearing their head, most growth stocks have taken it on the chin. But neither U.S. inflation nor COVID-19 variants are of concern to Sea Limited's three rapidly growing operating segments.\nFor the time being, the only division generating positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is its mobile gaming unit, led byFree Fire. When the curtain closed on September, the company had 729 million quarterly active gamers.\nBut it's not the number of gamers that's impressive. It's that 12.8% of these gamers (93.2 million) were paying to play. The pay-to-play conversion rate for the mobile gaming industry was closer to 2% in 2020.  As long as Sea is generating revenue from users at a considerably higher clip than the industry average, it should command a valuation premium.\nThe second rapidly growing segment is digital financial services. Though this division is still relatively nascent, the number of paying mobile wallet users grew to 39.3 million in the third quarter. Since many of the regions targeted by Sea are underbanked emerging markets, offering digital financial tools that can democratize the payment process could be a long-term game-changer.\nBut the third and most exciting operating segment is its e-commerce division, Shopee. Among downloadable shopping apps, Shopee consistently reigns supreme in Southeastern Asia. Between COVID-19 keeping people in their homes and middle-class consumers fueling buying activity in emerging market economies, Shopee is set up for success. In fact, its annual gross merchandise value (GMV) run-rate of $67.2 billion (based on third-quarter 2021 figures) is more than six times higher than the GMV the company reported in all of 2018.\nSea Limited could very well be one of the fastest-growing mega-cap stocks on the planet this decade.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPlanet 13 Holdings\nAnother top stock with all the tools necessary to make investors richer in December and for many years in the future is U.S. marijuana stock Planet 13 Holdings.\nEasily the biggest objection to investing in U.S. pot stocks is the fact that Congress still hasn't enacted cannabis legalization efforts. While it would make life easier for marijuana companies if the federal government would enact reforms, the vast majority of publicly traded pot stocks are primed for success if the status quo continues. With 36 states having legalized weed in some capacity, and the Department of Justice maintaining a hands-off policy, U.S. cannabis stocks like Planet 13 can bloom into successful businesses.\nFor the vast majority of multi-state operators (MSOs), their strategy consists of targeting big-dollar markets and planting their proverbial flag in as many states as possible. But this isn't how Planet 13 operates. It gets its competitive edge by focusing just as much on the immersive shopping experience as it does on making a sale.\nFor the moment, Planet 13 has just two operating dispensaries. The first is the Las Vegas SuperStore just west of the Strip. It's 112,000 square feet in size and contains a restaurant, events center, and consumer-facing processing center. In July 2021, Planet 13 opened its Orange County SuperStore about 10 minutes from Disneyland in Santa Ana, California. It spans 55,000 square feet and features a whopping 16,500 square feet of selling space.'\nPlanet 13's stores are a must-see for cannabis tourists as well as locals. In fact, significantly reduced tourist traffic to Las Vegas during the pandemic forced the company to begin focusing on local residents. With Las Vegas tourism returning to some semblance of normal, Planet 13 now has both tourist appeal and a strong local resident following.\nThe company has also had quite a bit of success launching its own cannabis brands. According to Headset, via third-quarter commentary from Planet 13 CEO Larry Scheffler, Trendi comprises 5% of Nevada's vape sales, with HaHa edibles accounting for 14% of the Silver State's edible sales.\nWith Planet 13 on the cusp of recurring profitability and more than 50% below its February high, the time for opportunistic investors to pounce is now.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nAs for you value investors, the top stock that can make you richer in December and beyond is brand-name and generic drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries.\nTeva has dealt with a laundry list of bad news events over the five years. The company settled bribery charges with U.S. regulators, grossly overpaid for generic drugmaker Actavis, completely shelved its dividend, and saw its top-selling drug -- multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone -- lose patent exclusivity. But the biggest concern of late is the ongoing litigation Teva is facing over its role in the opioid crisis.\nWhile these are not the types of hurdles that get leaped in a single bound, Teva's CEO Kare Schultz has done an exemplary job of getting the company back on track. Schultz is a bona fide turnaround specialist who's been with the company for a little over four years. In that time, he's reduced Teva's net debt from more than $34 billion to around $22 billion. This has been accomplished by selling off non-core assets, reducing annual operating expenses by billions of dollars, and utilizing the company's bountiful operating cash flow to pay down debt. There no question that Teva is a more financially sound company now than when Schultz was first given the reins.\nSchultz is expected to play a key role in helping Teva navigate a sea of litigation, too. With the company focused on reducing debt, Schultz will aim to settle litigation with minimal amounts of cash. Instead, look for the company to offer free or reduced-price medication to states over roughly a decade as a way of potentially settling opioid litigation. It also doesn't hurt that a California trial found drugmakers weren't liable for the opioid epidemic. This puts added momentum in Teva's sails.\nOver the long run, Teva should be buoyed by increased usage of generics. Rapidly rising brand-name drug list prices, coupled with growing access to healthcare services, should lift Teva's generic drug pricing power and overall sales volume.\nAt roughly three times (yes,three times!) Wall Street's consensus forward-year earnings per share, you'd struggle to find a more deeply discounted drug stock right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":600995747,"gmtCreate":1638028644986,"gmtModify":1638063470113,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very interesting!&nbsp;","listText":"Very interesting!&nbsp;","text":"Very interesting!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/600995747","repostId":"1197762499","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1322,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":603246856,"gmtCreate":1638418435223,"gmtModify":1638418435223,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Completely agree that the important thing iswhat’s our investment objective to start withas greed can bring big gains but also big losses!&nbsp;","listText":"Completely agree that the important thing iswhat’s our investment objective to start withas greed can bring big gains but also big losses!&nbsp;","text":"Completely agree that the important thing iswhat’s our investment objective to start withas greed can bring big gains but also big losses!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/603246856","repostId":"2188049563","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1470,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":603324058,"gmtCreate":1638368897874,"gmtModify":1638368897985,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool!

Since bottoming out in March 2020, the benchmark S&P 500 has been practically unstoppable. In what's become the strongest bounce-back rally from a bear-market bottom on record, the S&P 500 has delivered a total return, including dividends, of 111% since March 23, 2020.\nBut even with the broader market a stone's throw from an all-time high, incredible deals still abound. The following three top stocks all possess attributes that can help make you richer in December, and, most importantly, well beyond.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSea Limited\nFor you unbridledgrowth investors, the stock that could make you a lot richer this month and well beyond is Singapore-based Sea Limited.\nSea has had a monumental run-up since the bear-market bottom 20 months ago. Shares are up a cool 672% -- and that's after a 20% pullback from its all-time closing high on Oct. 19. With inflation picking up and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) variant concerns rearing their head, most growth stocks have taken it on the chin. But neither U.S. inflation nor COVID-19 variants are of concern to Sea Limited's three rapidly growing operating segments.\nFor the time being, the only division generating positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is its mobile gaming unit, led byFree Fire. When the curtain closed on September, the company had 729 million quarterly active gamers.\nBut it's not the number of gamers that's impressive. It's that 12.8% of these gamers (93.2 million) were paying to play. The pay-to-play conversion rate for the mobile gaming industry was closer to 2% in 2020.  As long as Sea is generating revenue from users at a considerably higher clip than the industry average, it should command a valuation premium.\nThe second rapidly growing segment is digital financial services. Though this division is still relatively nascent, the number of paying mobile wallet users grew to 39.3 million in the third quarter. Since many of the regions targeted by Sea are underbanked emerging markets, offering digital financial tools that can democratize the payment process could be a long-term game-changer.\nBut the third and most exciting operating segment is its e-commerce division, Shopee. Among downloadable shopping apps, Shopee consistently reigns supreme in Southeastern Asia. Between COVID-19 keeping people in their homes and middle-class consumers fueling buying activity in emerging market economies, Shopee is set up for success. In fact, its annual gross merchandise value (GMV) run-rate of $67.2 billion (based on third-quarter 2021 figures) is more than six times higher than the GMV the company reported in all of 2018.\nSea Limited could very well be one of the fastest-growing mega-cap stocks on the planet this decade.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nPlanet 13 Holdings\nAnother top stock with all the tools necessary to make investors richer in December and for many years in the future is U.S. marijuana stock Planet 13 Holdings.\nEasily the biggest objection to investing in U.S. pot stocks is the fact that Congress still hasn't enacted cannabis legalization efforts. While it would make life easier for marijuana companies if the federal government would enact reforms, the vast majority of publicly traded pot stocks are primed for success if the status quo continues. With 36 states having legalized weed in some capacity, and the Department of Justice maintaining a hands-off policy, U.S. cannabis stocks like Planet 13 can bloom into successful businesses.\nFor the vast majority of multi-state operators (MSOs), their strategy consists of targeting big-dollar markets and planting their proverbial flag in as many states as possible. But this isn't how Planet 13 operates. It gets its competitive edge by focusing just as much on the immersive shopping experience as it does on making a sale.\nFor the moment, Planet 13 has just two operating dispensaries. The first is the Las Vegas SuperStore just west of the Strip. It's 112,000 square feet in size and contains a restaurant, events center, and consumer-facing processing center. In July 2021, Planet 13 opened its Orange County SuperStore about 10 minutes from Disneyland in Santa Ana, California. It spans 55,000 square feet and features a whopping 16,500 square feet of selling space.'\nPlanet 13's stores are a must-see for cannabis tourists as well as locals. In fact, significantly reduced tourist traffic to Las Vegas during the pandemic forced the company to begin focusing on local residents. With Las Vegas tourism returning to some semblance of normal, Planet 13 now has both tourist appeal and a strong local resident following.\nThe company has also had quite a bit of success launching its own cannabis brands. According to Headset, via third-quarter commentary from Planet 13 CEO Larry Scheffler, Trendi comprises 5% of Nevada's vape sales, with HaHa edibles accounting for 14% of the Silver State's edible sales.\nWith Planet 13 on the cusp of recurring profitability and more than 50% below its February high, the time for opportunistic investors to pounce is now.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nTeva Pharmaceutical Industries\nAs for you value investors, the top stock that can make you richer in December and beyond is brand-name and generic drug developer Teva Pharmaceutical Industries.\nTeva has dealt with a laundry list of bad news events over the five years. The company settled bribery charges with U.S. regulators, grossly overpaid for generic drugmaker Actavis, completely shelved its dividend, and saw its top-selling drug -- multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone -- lose patent exclusivity. But the biggest concern of late is the ongoing litigation Teva is facing over its role in the opioid crisis.\nWhile these are not the types of hurdles that get leaped in a single bound, Teva's CEO Kare Schultz has done an exemplary job of getting the company back on track. Schultz is a bona fide turnaround specialist who's been with the company for a little over four years. In that time, he's reduced Teva's net debt from more than $34 billion to around $22 billion. This has been accomplished by selling off non-core assets, reducing annual operating expenses by billions of dollars, and utilizing the company's bountiful operating cash flow to pay down debt. There no question that Teva is a more financially sound company now than when Schultz was first given the reins.\nSchultz is expected to play a key role in helping Teva navigate a sea of litigation, too. With the company focused on reducing debt, Schultz will aim to settle litigation with minimal amounts of cash. Instead, look for the company to offer free or reduced-price medication to states over roughly a decade as a way of potentially settling opioid litigation. It also doesn't hurt that a California trial found drugmakers weren't liable for the opioid epidemic. This puts added momentum in Teva's sails.\nOver the long run, Teva should be buoyed by increased usage of generics. Rapidly rising brand-name drug list prices, coupled with growing access to healthcare services, should lift Teva's generic drug pricing power and overall sales volume.\nAt roughly three times (yes,three times!) Wall Street's consensus forward-year earnings per share, you'd struggle to find a more deeply discounted drug stock right now.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":606543316,"gmtCreate":1638907585319,"gmtModify":1638907585319,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Go Apple!&nbsp;","listText":"Go Apple!&nbsp;","text":"Go Apple!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/606543316","repostId":"1159685639","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1159685639","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1638888367,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1159685639?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-12-07 22:46","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1159685639","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high after the company got another street-high target on vir","content":"<p>Apple shares rose more than 3% to a new high&nbsp;after&nbsp;the&nbsp;company&nbsp;got another street-high target on virtual reality boost.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/eb9792aa89d24847aee38f67d56067eb\" tg-width=\"840\" tg-height=\"470\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Apple Inc.&nbsp;got its second Street-high price target as Morgan Stanley sees it benefiting from new product categories in virtual reality and autonomous vehicles.</p>\n<p>Analyst Katy Huberty, who rates Apple overweight, raised her price target to $200 from $164, matching Wedbush as the highest among targets tracked by Bloomberg. </p>\n<p>While investors have struggled to value the iPhone maker’s new products given the company’s secrecy, Huberty expects augmented and virtual reality, as well as autonomous vehicles, to eventually be priced in, and says Apple should also benefit from a “flight to quality” in technology stocks.</p>\n<p>“Despite a consistent and material revenue contribution from new products and services over time, Apple shares don’t seem to bake in the impact from upcoming new product launches,” Huberty wrote in a note. “We believe this will change as Apple approaches the launch of an AR/VR product over the next year.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7d1d69bd985c3b74963515674f2da918\" tg-width=\"1200\" tg-height=\"675\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Apple’s shares have surged 25% this year and ended Monday’s session at a fresh record.

They're just things to be aware of. Apple does have a history of great execution (MacBook keyboard and Touch Bar aside), however, so an investor should feel at least somewhat comfortable that the company will put its best foot forward.</p>\n<p><b>Final Thoughts</b></p>\n<p>At a valuation nearing $3T one would assume there isn't much room left to run in Apple, but investors still stand to beat the overall market in this name thanks to excellent capital allocation.</p>\n<p>Apple has $315B in authorized buybacks and returns some $14.5B in dividends each year. Apple will likely buyback close to $100B in stock during its 2022 fiscal year which, alone, represents a 3.7% return on today's prices. Combined with a dividend yield of 0.6%, investors will make 4.3% on this name through shareholder friendly practices alone.</p>\n<p>Those numbers will compound too, another $100B in 2023, $100B in 2024, it all adds up. That $300B is all authorized too.</p>\n<p>Along with those buybacks and dividends, investors are buying into a company that, last year, defied laws of large numbers and grew its top-line at 33%. While unlikely this year, I still expect that the wearables and services divisions will grow at double digits which will allow Apple to see high single-digit revenue growth through the coming 3-5 years.</p>\n<p>Those with a bearish view on Apple act as though this juggernaut will vanish overnight, but that's simply not true. Sure, you're unlikely to pull down 30%+ annual returns going forward, but if you're looking for a high-quality stable business that can beat the market little-by-little, Apple is a great horse (or car) to back.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple: A True 'Never Sell' Position</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple: A True 'Never Sell' Position\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-07 22:28 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nWith $315B in authorized share buybacks and a 0.6% yield, Apple should return 4.3% on shareholder-friendly practices alone.\nIn addition, the company will still see double-digit growth in ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"AAPL":"苹果"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4473801-apple-a-true-never-sell-position","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1162682713","content_text":"Summary\n\nWith $315B in authorized share buybacks and a 0.6% yield, Apple should return 4.3% on shareholder-friendly practices alone.\nIn addition, the company will still see double-digit growth in wearables and services, even if iPhone slows down a little.\nThe Apple ecosystem also stands to get more intertwined with a potential Apple Car and AR/VR plays.\n\nCatLane/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images\nAt an almost $3T market cap, I am still a holder of Apple (AAPL).

Sure, you're unlikely to pull down 30%+ annual returns going forward, but if you're looking for a high-quality stable business that can beat the market little-by-little, Apple is a great horse (or car) to back.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1890,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":600995747,"gmtCreate":1638028644986,"gmtModify":1638063470113,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Very interesting!&nbsp;","listText":"Very interesting!&nbsp;","text":"Very interesting!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/600995747","repostId":"1197762499","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1322,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691992868,"gmtCreate":1640110149374,"gmtModify":1640110156911,"author":{"id":"4100787327165020","authorId":"4100787327165020","name":"Cazwyh","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a50709c3a01b4bc64250ae4ff8f5454b","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"4100787327165020","authorIdStr":"4100787327165020"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Can’t agree more!
