POINTSFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks twice to Congress this week as part of mandated semiannual testimony.Normally nonevents for the market, the central bank leader’s comments will be viewed closely this week for how he views this year’s run-up in bond yields.Investors worry that too quick of a rise might force the Fed to tighten policy too quickly, while a complacent Fed also would pose overheating risks.Rising bond yields and accompanying inflation fears are adding a level of drama to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s appearance this week before Congress.The central bank chair is slated to address Senate and House panels on successive days as part of mandated semiannual updates on monetary policy.Normally routine affairs, recent financial market tumult and concerns about how the Fed may react have investors paying a bit more close attention than usual to the hearings scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday.“This is one of the more interesting episodes in which a Fed chair has had to testify,” said Nathan Sheets, chief economist at PGIM Fixed Income. “Sometimes we say, ‘ho hum, no news.’ This is going to be news. He’s really caught between a rock and a hard place.”What’s got the market’s attention recently has been a pickup in government bond yields, particularly further out on the curve.While the 2-year is unchanged for 2021, the 5-year has risen nearly a quarter percentage point as of Friday’s market close while the benchmark 10-year note has seen its yield jump 41 basis points to 1.34%, an area where it hasn’t been since around the same time in 2020, before the worst of the pandemic struck.The 30-year bond yield has surged even more, leaping nearly half a point this year to 2.14%.Powell’s dilemma is this: Rising bond yields could be signaling the reflation of the economy that the Fed has been pushing and are therefore higher for good reasons. However, should the trend get out of control, the Fed then might have to tighten policy faster than the market expects, offsetting some of the good that has come with the burst in yields.Complicating the matter is that markets also might not like it if Powell is overly complacent.“If this testimony was behind closed doors, I think Jay Powell would be quite pleased with what he sees in the economy and the markets,” Sheets said, using the Fed chair’s nickname. “But given that it’s public, he’s got to be careful. If he’s too sanguine about the rise in rates, the markets are going to take that as a significant green light for rates to rip higher.”“The Fed is comfortable with an organic rise in rates reflecting shifts in views on growth and inflation,” he added. “But I think the Fed also wants to be careful that it doesn’t create and amplify a self-sustaining dynamic that pushes rates higher for other reasons.”Those “other reasons” primarily would be fears that the economy could overheat.Stimulus and more stimulusThe Fed has run historically loose policy for the past year, dropping its benchmark borrowing rate to near zero and buying at least $120 billion of bonds each month. That’s on top of a series of since-expired lending and liquidity programs implemented in the early days of the Covid-19 crisis.Along with that, Congress has come in with more than $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus and could approve up to $1.9 trillion more by the end of week.All that has transpired amid an economy that, besides a still-troubling employment problem primarily in the service sector, is humming. Wall Street is taking up first-quarter growth expectations and market-based indicators of inflation are rising.That’s why Powell’s tightrope walk this week will be all the more compelling.“The market mood has changed,”Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz, said Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” It’s no longer whether yields are going higher, it’s when is the move too big. That’s what the market’s trying to figure out.”Investors are particularly concerned whether all the stimulus isn’t going overboard and threatening to destabilize the economy over the longer run.“I can predict that the yellow lights are flashing all over the Fed because of the [yields] move and the steepening of the yield curve, and the Fed may do more to try to control yields,” El-Erian said.Fed officials have largely dismissed so-called yield curve control to use its bond purchasing power to control rates between various fixed income maturities.But the market could force the Fed’s hand, and Powell is likely to get asked about where he stands on what tools the Fed has to calm market issues. He has repeatedly stressed that the central bank has the weapons to control inflation, but deploying those comes with a price. Markets used to low yields and companies accustomed to cheap borrowing costs could get rattled by an unexpected Fed move.Evidence of how clearly the market is watching the issue came Monday morning, when European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said she is “closely monitoring the evolution of longer-term nominal bond yields.” Her words were enough to calm a jittery market and turn what had been an opening loss on Wall Street into a mixed market with the Dow up in early afternoon trading. Treasury yields were mostly flat on the day.Tom Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, noted that his “clients have already expressed some apprehension about this week. Part of this reflects the fact that bond yields have been steadily rising and equity investors are nervous that the bond market might reach some sort of ‘breaking point’” during Powell’s testimony.Powell speaks Tuesday before the Senate Finance Committee then Wednesday to the House Financial Services Committee.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":697,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":369164767,"gmtCreate":1614009049159,"gmtModify":1704886932244,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","listText":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","text":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/369164767","repostId":"1106666176","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106666176","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613987158,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106666176?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-22 17:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Silicon Valley is not suffering a tech exodus, and money is flowing in at record rate — for a fortunate few","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106666176","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"New data show little proof that people are leaving the Bay Area in droves, instead detailing record ","content":"<p>New data show little proof that people are leaving the Bay Area in droves, instead detailing record investment in startups and booming market caps for Big Tech while the region’s poor residents suffer brunt of COVID-19 pandemic</p>\n<p>Despite reports of an exodus, Silicon Valley remains the tech capital of the world, with new data showing continued record investment in the industry in 2020 and no overall declines in jobs and population in the region.</p>\n<p>While the high-profile departures of&nbsp;rich executives and investors like Elon Musk&nbsp;and&nbsp;companies like Oracle Corp.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Hewlett Packard Enterprise Corp.&nbsp;have raised questions about the future of California’s tech powerhouse, an annual report out this week found little evidence of a trend. Instead, the major effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020 was the widening of the divide between the haves and have-nots, thanks to all the money still flowing into just a few pockets as the coronavirus ravages poorer communities.</p>\n<p>“Today, we must frankly admit that the pandemic has made the rich richer while the poor are dying,” said Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which published its annual Silicon Valley Index this week detailing what happened in the region last year.</p>\n<p>The report showed record venture capital investment in Bay Area startups, along with booming market capitalizations for public tech companies and standard-setting initial public offerings. Amid fears of a tech-worker stampede out of the Golden State as companies allowed remote work, the population in Silicon Valley — defined as Santa Clara and San Mateo counties — was mostly flat for the year, rising 0.02%.</p>\n<p>While an overall out-migration was tracked in San Francisco, the vast majority of those who left the most prominent city in the region last year&nbsp;remained in the state, according to U.S. Postal Service data crunched by the San Francisco Chronicle this week. That’s in line with what the Silicon Valley Index shows: 59% of the people who have left the valley in the past few years have stayed in California, moving up or down the state.</p>\n<p>“I think we can all calm down,” said Rachel Massaro, Joint Venture’s director of research, during a news briefing about the index. “We’re a place of innovation. We’re a place that houses these impactful companies. We have not seen any significant losses among them.”</p>\n<p>In short, the region’s biggest companies and highest-paid people fared drastically better and in many cases thrived — white-collar workers, who earn more than three times as those in service occupations, got to work remotely and protect themselves from a deadly virus — while low-wage workers lost jobs and fell ill, their lack of a safety net shining a harsher light on inequality.</p>\n<p>“It’s a tale of two economies,” Hancock said. “There are two stories.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e74e27c802a7abc5e4f17381a9dc9f7\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"343\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>The tech story</b></p>\n<p>Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies’ market capitalization climbed 37% to $10.5 trillion last year, according to the report, thanks to huge spikes from companies such as Tesla Inc.TSLA,-0.77%,which saw its market cap skyrocket more than 700% in 2020; Apple Inc.AAPL,+0.12%,which saw a 77% increase, while Facebook Inc.FB,-2.91%grew 30% and GoogleGOOGL,-0.81%experienced a 28% boost.</p>\n<p>Big Tech kept getting bigger in other ways as well. The top 15 tech employers in the area — which includes the above plus other large companies like Intel Corp.INTC,+2.27%,Salesforce Inc.CRM,-0.18%and Cisco Systems Inc.CSCO,-1.42%— ended the year with a 3.7% increase in jobs even while the region saw a couple hundred thousand jobs disappear overall. And despite nagging questions about the effects of a work-from-home shift on commercial real estate, the largest companies in the region continued construction on existing projects, such as Google’s planned massive development in San Jose, Calif.</p>\n<p>The next generation also received record investment totals. Snowflake Inc.SNOW,+0.08%,DoorDash Inc.and Airbnb Inc.,all based in the Bay Area, were the three biggest U.S. initial public offerings of 2020, not including special-purpose acquisition companies. And even in a booming year for IPOs, Silicon Valley outperformed the rest: 2020 IPOs from the valley grew 117% and S.F. issuances grew 101%, while IPOs in general returned 80% last year, according to the Silicon Valley Index.</p>\n<p>It was also a record year for venture capital, with funding to Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies increasing 8% from 2019, the report said.

Instead, the major effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020 was the widening of the divide between the haves and have-nots, thanks to all the money still flowing into just a few pockets as the coronavirus ravages poorer communities.\n“Today, we must frankly admit that the pandemic has made the rich richer while the poor are dying,” said Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which published its annual Silicon Valley Index this week detailing what happened in the region last year.\nThe report showed record venture capital investment in Bay Area startups, along with booming market capitalizations for public tech companies and standard-setting initial public offerings. Amid fears of a tech-worker stampede out of the Golden State as companies allowed remote work, the population in Silicon Valley — defined as Santa Clara and San Mateo counties — was mostly flat for the year, rising 0.02%.\nWhile an overall out-migration was tracked in San Francisco, the vast majority of those who left the most prominent city in the region last year remained in the state, according to U.S. Postal Service data crunched by the San Francisco Chronicle this week. That’s in line with what the Silicon Valley Index shows: 59% of the people who have left the valley in the past few years have stayed in California, moving up or down the state.\n“I think we can all calm down,” said Rachel Massaro, Joint Venture’s director of research, during a news briefing about the index. “We’re a place of innovation. We’re a place that houses these impactful companies. We have not seen any significant losses among them.”\nIn short, the region’s biggest companies and highest-paid people fared drastically better and in many cases thrived — white-collar workers, who earn more than three times as those in service occupations, got to work remotely and protect themselves from a deadly virus — while low-wage workers lost jobs and fell ill, their lack of a safety net shining a harsher light on inequality.\n“It’s a tale of two economies,” Hancock said. “There are two stories.”\nThe tech story\nSilicon Valley and San Francisco companies’ market capitalization climbed 37% to $10.5 trillion last year, according to the report, thanks to huge spikes from companies such as Tesla Inc.TSLA,-0.77%,which saw its market cap skyrocket more than 700% in 2020; Apple Inc.AAPL,+0.12%,which saw a 77% increase, while Facebook Inc.FB,-2.91%grew 30% and GoogleGOOGL,-0.81%experienced a 28% boost.\nBig Tech kept getting bigger in other ways as well. The top 15 tech employers in the area — which includes the above plus other large companies like Intel Corp.INTC,+2.27%,Salesforce Inc.CRM,-0.18%and Cisco Systems Inc.CSCO,-1.42%— ended the year with a 3.7% increase in jobs even while the region saw a couple hundred thousand jobs disappear overall. And despite nagging questions about the effects of a work-from-home shift on commercial real estate, the largest companies in the region continued construction on existing projects, such as Google’s planned massive development in San Jose, Calif.\nThe next generation also received record investment totals. Snowflake Inc.SNOW,+0.08%,DoorDash Inc.and Airbnb Inc.,all based in the Bay Area, were the three biggest U.S. initial public offerings of 2020, not including special-purpose acquisition companies. And even in a booming year for IPOs, Silicon Valley outperformed the rest: 2020 IPOs from the valley grew 117% and S.F. issuances grew 101%, while IPOs in general returned 80% last year, according to the Silicon Valley Index.\nIt was also a record year for venture capital, with funding to Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies increasing 8% from 2019, the report said. Of the $123.6 billion in U.S. VC funding in 2020, $26.4 billion went to Silicon Valley, $20 billion to San Francisco and $67 billion to California. A lot of that investment went into well-known startups including Bay Area decacorns (private companies worth at least $10 billion) like Stripe, Instacart and Robinhood.\n\nThe other, less positive story\nWhile Big Tech flourished and money continued to pour into potential additions to that group, the gap between those flourishing from that performance and Silicon Valley’s poorer residents is wider than ever, the index shows.\nAs of last Friday, 2,069 people in the region had died of COVID-19, Hancock said. Death rates were highest among Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders, Black/African Americans and Hispanic or Latinos, respectively. A report by the Mercury News showed that death rates were far higher in poorer neighborhoods than wealthier ones, such as in the largely Latino neighborhoods of East San Jose.\nLower-wage workers lost their jobs or had to put their health at risk to hang onto their positions.\n“The pandemic wiped out our service sector and in-person economy,” Hancock said. “There’s real carnage out there. People have lost their livelihoods.”\nThe region’s community infrastructure and service jobs declined 54% by midyear 2020. Hispanic people were 1.5 times more likely to file unemployment claims as white people, Hancock said. And in December, more than 626,000 households in the Bay Area, including nearly 200,000 households in Silicon Valley, were at risk of eviction or mortgage nonpayment, according to the index.\nShuttle drivers who drove tech employees to various offices around the Bay Area for companies such as Salesforce Inc.,Twitter Inc. and others — which have told their employees they can work remotely permanently or most of the time — have been laid off or furloughed, said Stacy Murphy, business representative for Teamsters Local 853, which represents about 800 shuttle drivers in the Bay Area. Some drivers are still on paid furlough, but others are no longer receiving wages and most have no idea when they can return to work.\n“We are all patiently waiting,” said Murphy, who has said the union is in constant discussions and is advocating for the drivers to keep getting paid.\nThe murky future\nSome data from the index shows that concerns about a threat to the region’s reign as a tech center are not unfounded. Although Silicon Valley’s population did not decline in 2020, a yearslong out-migration trend did continue. Still, the index shows that the net out-migration in 2020 was about half that of the departures from the region in 2001, after the dot-com bubble burst.\nThe index also shows that the employment growth rate of the top 15 largest tech employers in Denver (14.7%) and Sacramento (14.5%) were nearly four times that of the Bay Area’s 3.7%.

While the percentage gains were smaller, the Bay Area still added more tech jobs in total than the other metropolitan areas.\nMetro areas in Florida, Texas and elsewhere are touting themselves as the next big tech hubs as companies and executives move to places like Texas, where Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. have moved their headquarters — even as many Oracle employees remain in the Bay Area, Hancock pointed out.\nAs other companies move or make decisions about whether their employees should return to the office, it will affect the construction projects that have been put on hold or the office-space rental rates that have mostly held steady.\nThe Bay Area Council, which includes the region’s companies as members and advocates for business-friendly policies, has launched a “business climate” initiative as it worries about companies leaving the region.\n“It’s not going to be an immediate change,” said Patrick Kallerman, research director for the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. “The Bay Area isn’t going to be a ghost town in six months.

Many blank-cheque companies have turned to Asia to seek takeover targets.</p><p>The concept isn't new to the Singapore exchange. It had initiated a consultation on SPAC listings in 2010 - but there wasn't enough appetite among businesses and investors back then.</p><p>\"The world has changed, capital markets have evolved since then,\" said Mr Loh, who took over as CEO in 2015 after a long career in banking. He added that lower-for-longer interest rates, shorter business cycles, volatile markets and stimulus measures are heightening the need for and the ability to seek capital. SPACs could facilitate that while minimising market risk exposure by providing another avenue for investment, he said.</p><p>SPACs could be a way to revive investor interest in Singapore's stock market. The bourse has struggled to attract big-ticket IPOs over the past few years particularly in hot sectors such as technology.

Many blank-cheque companies have turned to Asia to seek takeover targets.The concept isn't new to the Singapore exchange. It had initiated a consultation on SPAC listings in 2010 - but there wasn't enough appetite among businesses and investors back then.\"The world has changed, capital markets have evolved since then,\" said Mr Loh, who took over as CEO in 2015 after a long career in banking. He added that lower-for-longer interest rates, shorter business cycles, volatile markets and stimulus measures are heightening the need for and the ability to seek capital. SPACs could facilitate that while minimising market risk exposure by providing another avenue for investment, he said.SPACs could be a way to revive investor interest in Singapore's stock market. The bourse has struggled to attract big-ticket IPOs over the past few years particularly in hot sectors such as technology. While the market volatility of 2020 was a boon, the value of shares traded remained below its five-year average.SGX expects stock market listings this year in various sectors including technology, he said, as it awaits the mega IPO of Thai Beverage's brewery unit. The amount raised in first-time share sales in the city-state slumped to US$914 million last year from US$3.4 billion in 2017, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":629,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385885358,"gmtCreate":1613530977474,"gmtModify":1704881686409,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Witcher sucks ?","listText":"Witcher sucks ?","text":"Witcher sucks ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385885358","repostId":"1198794670","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":479,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":382232459,"gmtCreate":1613449839771,"gmtModify":1704880588855,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Have to look at unemployment numbers as well&nbsp;","listText":"Have to look at unemployment numbers as well&nbsp;","text":"Have to look at unemployment numbers as well","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/382232459","repostId":"2111004392","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2111004392","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613445903,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2111004392?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-16 11:25","market":"us","language":"en","title":"21 stocks Goldman Sachs thinks you should consider buying now","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2111004392","media":"Yahoo Finance","summary":"Goldman Sachs remains one of the most bullish Wall Street investment banks around on the pace of the","content":"<p>Goldman Sachs remains one&nbsp;of the most bullish Wall Street investment banks around on the pace of the economic recovery and the direction of the stock market this year.</p>\n<p>And it believes some consumer cyclicals continue to be an untapped opportunity despite the record-setting run the broader market is on.</p>\n<p>“Russell 1000 firms with revenues correlated to consumer spending, consensus estimates for sales and earnings in 2021 that exceed 2019 levels, and P/E multiples that do not register as particularly elevated relative to recent history,” Goldman’s chief U.S. equities strategist David Kostin wrote in a new note on Friday.</p>\n<p>Several of the standout names from the list (see below) of potential buys include: Whirlpool, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/FB\">Facebook</a>, PPG Industries, Charles Schwab, Raymond James, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/MMM\">3M</a>, Stanley Black &amp; Decker and Discover Financial.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c81afeee3dd157a870116a12e5eb3c01\" tg-width=\"1898\" tg-height=\"1142\"><span>Goldman Sachs sees potential in these 21 stocks.</span></p>\n<p>Current trends at consumer cyclicals such as appliance maker Whirlpool underscore Goldman’s call.</p>\n<p>“We are optimistic about demand not just in the near- to mid-term, but the longer-term.

We heard stories of fortunes made and lost. The ones we didn’t hear were from the folks in-between — small retail traders and investors who suffered thousands of dollars (or more) in losses.</p>\n<p>For those still holding GME or AMC, or for those eager to pounce on the next volatile meme stock, I offer the following advice based on personal experience and observations. These are the lessons you must know before you ever get involved in the stock or options market (or if you are holding a winning stock or option):</p>\n<p><b>1. Don’t sell stocks or options on products you don’t own:</b>The traders who lost the most money in GameStop and AMC were those who sold “naked” calls and puts (i.e. they sold options on stocks they didn’t own), or those who sold shares short (again, they sold shares on a stock they didn’t own). When using this extremely risky strategy, you can make a fortune if you’re right. If you’re wrong, the losses can be incalculable. In reality, some unwary traders lost tens of thousands of dollars last week on positions that cost a few thousand dollars. Once again, don’t sell anything naked unless you’re a professional, and in this case even the pros lost big on that risky bet.</p>\n<p><b>2. Sell at the “zero point.”</b>&nbsp; Here’s a rule I created: If you have huge gains that disappear and you are at the zero point (i.e. break-even), sell before you have real losses. It’s better to walk away at zero than with losses.</p>\n<p><b>3. Don’t be a stubborn seller:</b>Why is it so hard for most traders to walk away at the zero point? Stubbornness. Many traders made huge gains last week only to watch those profits disappear. They refused to sell because they hoped to make their money back. If holding options, that’s not going to happen. (If you bought at or near the high, your money is gone. If you hold a stock, plan to wait months or even years to recover. Stubborn stockholders often end up as “stuckholders.”</p>\n<p><b>4. Take the money and run:</b>When you are holding a stock or option position that brings outsized profits, either sell half of your holding or all of it — but get out. I call this “selling at extremes.” Sell something when the profits are beyond your wildest expectations. We all know the story of the gambler who wins big at the casino, but doesn’t leave the table until all his money is gone. Know when to walk away from the computer. Profits are fleeting, especially when volatility skyrockets.</p>\n<p><b>5.Trade small when making longshot trades (i.e. gambling):</b>GameStop and AMC were both big gambles, and for a time the trade worked if you were long. But if you bet wrong? I spoke to a few of these traders. One lost $8,000 on a single option contract. If he had traded his normal size (30 contracts), he told me, his losses would have been more than $240,000.</p>\n<p><b>6. Don’t expect this trading frenzy to keep happening:</b>It’s possible that a group of traders on the Reddit forum will band together for more bear- or bull raids. Except Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Fed Chair Jerome Powell are most likely creating new rules to prevent this from repeating. The Fed hates volatility and will do everything in its power to keep the markets calm. So once again, when you make big money on a trade, take the money as fast as you can — because you may not get the chance again.</p>\n<p><b>7. Stop bragging about how much money you made</b>: Many traders who won big immediately bragged on social media (and to their jealous friends) about how much money they made on this trade. Yet the euphoric feeling they had was temporary. It usually goes away after all the money is gone. The smart (and polite) traders took their gains and kept the win to themselves</p>\n<p><b>8. Use a time stop:</b>Time stops are not well-known or popular, but with fast-moving stocks (or when trading options), they are invaluable. In an extremely fast market, the traditional stop-limit order won’t get filled, as many of those meme-stock traders found out the hard way. Instead, after making a huge profit, set a day or time to sell. For example, you may sell the position by Friday no matter what (although selling at extremes is better — see Rule #4).</p>\n<p><b>9. Sell half or all of the position:</b>It’s never an easy decision to know when to sell. If you sell too early, it’s annoying to watch the stock go higher. Sell too late and you lose money. Selling half of your holding is a reasonable alternative, but you must be prepared to sell the other half if the position goes against you.</p>\n<p><b>10. Don’t seek revenge when you lose money on a stock:</b>It’s common for traders to seek revenge on a stock they lost money on. Do not fall for this emotional trap. If you lost money on a stock, let it go and move on.</p>\n<p><b>11. Trade small after you made or lost big:</b>If you’re feeling emotional about a stock, including feelings of anger or revenge, trade small. Many people who hit it big in the market can’t help but make bigger and bigger bets. Just like the gamblers at a casino, they keep trading until all their money is gone.</p>\n<p>You don’t think it can happen to you? One of the greatest speculators in the world, Jesse Livermore, made $100 million dollars in a single week in 1929. He then lost all of his money within five years. He should have moved most of his profits out of the market after his big win and traded small for the next year. Instead, he got reckless and lost it all.</p>\n<p><b>12. Don’t take on too much risk:</b>Never invest or trade with so much money that if you lost, you’d lose your house or 401(k). Brokers told me about clients who cleared out their retirement funds or took cash advances on their credit cards so they could buy GameStop and AMC. Some won, some lost, but many took on way too much risk.</p>\n<p><b>The meme-stock pyramid scheme</b></p>\n<p>Those who traded GameStop, AMC and other meme stocks thought they were trading, but they were actually participating in a gigantic pyramid scheme. Those who got in early and got out early probably did well. Those who entered late or held too long lost money.</p>\n<p>My advice: Review these 12 rules periodically. They are based on the experiences and the bad luck of thousands of other traders, including myself, who thought we were smarter than the market. In truth the market was smarter than us — because it always is.</p>","source":"market_watch","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>These 12 lessons from the GameStop and AMC frenzy can help you make money trading stocks (or at least lose less)</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\">\nThese 12 lessons from the GameStop and AMC frenzy can help you make money trading stocks (or at least lose less)\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-09 17:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/these-12-lessons-from-the-gamestop-and-amc-frenzy-can-help-you-make-money-trading-stocks-or-at-least-lose-less-11612771522?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>I can hear the cries from investors who racked up huge profits in GameStop or AMC Entertainment Holdings for a few hours or days, only to watch their gains evaporate.\nThis coordinated bull raid was ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/these-12-lessons-from-the-gamestop-and-amc-frenzy-can-help-you-make-money-trading-stocks-or-at-least-lose-less-11612771522?mod=home-page\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite",".DJI":"道琼斯",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index","AMC":"AMC院线","GME":"游戏驿站"},"source_url":"https://www.marketwatch.com/story/these-12-lessons-from-the-gamestop-and-amc-frenzy-can-help-you-make-money-trading-stocks-or-at-least-lose-less-11612771522?mod=home-page","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/599a65733b8245fcf7868668ef9ad712","article_id":"1149038980","content_text":"I can hear the cries from investors who racked up huge profits in GameStop or AMC Entertainment Holdings for a few hours or days, only to watch their gains evaporate.\nThis coordinated bull raid was initiated by thousands of retail investors on Reddit, a popular website forum.

No Material Impact on Daily Operations Expected\nCompany Continues to Meet Trade Obligations in the Ordinary Course of Business, Including Paying Suppliers, Vendors and Employees\nBEIJING, Feb. 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Joint Provisional Liquidators (the “JPLs”) of Luckin Coffee Inc. (the “Company”) (OTC:LKNCY), Alexander Lawson of Alvarez & Marsal Cayman Islands Limited and Wing Sze Tiffany Wong of Alvarez & Marsal Asia Limited, today filed a verified petition under chapter 15 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Chapter 15 Petition”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 15 Petition seeks, among other things, recognition in the United States of the Company’s provisional liquidation pending before the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Court”), Financial Services Division, Cause No. 157 of 2020 (ASCJ) (the “Cayman Proceeding”)1and related relief.\nThe Company is negotiating with its stakeholders regarding the restructuring of the Company’s financial obligations, to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and enable it to emerge from the Cayman Proceeding as a going concern, for the benefit of all stakeholders. The relief sought in the Chapter 15 Petition is an important component of the Company’s restructuring. This relief will promote centralized administration of the Company’s assets by permitting coordination between the Cayman Court and the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, to protect the interests of stakeholders while facilitating the Company’s restructuring.\nAll Company stores remain open for business, offering products with high quality, affordability and convenience to its customers in China. The filing of the Chapter 15 Petition is not expected to materially impact the Company’s day-to-day operations.

In the past week, it has turned into a flood, helping to push the price of Bitcoin to a record of $48,297 on Thursday.</p><p>The most buzzworthy move came from Tesla (ticker: TSLA), which disclosed on Monday that it hasbought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcointo hold on its balance sheet. The company plans to let consumers use the currency to pay for cars.</p><p>But Tesla isn’t the only one. On Thursday, BNY Mellon (BK), the oldest bank in the U.S.,said it will hold and transfer cryptocurrencies for customers. “Growing client demand for digital assets, maturity of advanced solutions, and improving regulatory clarity present a tremendous opportunity for us to extend our current service offerings to this emerging field,” said Roman Regelman, the bank’s CEO of asset servicing and head of digital.</p><p>Mastercard (MA) said on Wednesday that it will let merchants accept some cryptocurrencies through its network later this year. The payments will be converted to traditional money before it enters the companies’ systems.Twitter(TWTR) is also considering a Bitcoin investment. And Square (SQ) has already put some on its balance sheet, as well as given users of its Cash App access to buy the cryptocurrency.</p><p>Why is this happening now? Cryptocurrencies are still not particularly useful outside of a very few cases, such as cross-border transactions.

In the past week, it has turned into a flood, helping to push the price of Bitcoin to a record of $48,297 on Thursday.The most buzzworthy move came from Tesla (ticker: TSLA), which disclosed on Monday that it hasbought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcointo hold on its balance sheet. The company plans to let consumers use the currency to pay for cars.But Tesla isn’t the only one. On Thursday, BNY Mellon (BK), the oldest bank in the U.S.,said it will hold and transfer cryptocurrencies for customers. “Growing client demand for digital assets, maturity of advanced solutions, and improving regulatory clarity present a tremendous opportunity for us to extend our current service offerings to this emerging field,” said Roman Regelman, the bank’s CEO of asset servicing and head of digital.Mastercard (MA) said on Wednesday that it will let merchants accept some cryptocurrencies through its network later this year. The payments will be converted to traditional money before it enters the companies’ systems.Twitter(TWTR) is also considering a Bitcoin investment. And Square (SQ) has already put some on its balance sheet, as well as given users of its Cash App access to buy the cryptocurrency.Why is this happening now?

Retail investors bid for 1,204 times the amount of Kuaishou shares on offer for them in the IPO, mostly backed by borrowed money.\nThe Friday spike in Kuaishou shares was mainly driven by demand from customers in mainland China, who cannot invest in IPOs but can buy in the secondary market, and retail investors in Hong Kong who failed to get shares in Kuaishou’s IPO, said Louis Tse, managing director of brokerage Wealthy Securities.\nIt was also driven by pent-up retail demand following the last-minute suspension of Ant Group’s blockbuster $37 billion dual-listing in November, Tse added.\n“This bodes well for other Hong Kong IPOs, if the companies are well known on the mainland,” he said.\nTikTok-owner Bytedance has been considering listing its onshore Chinese short video app Douyin in Hong Kong, Reuters reported last year.\nDouyin and Kuaishou are rivals.\nKuaishou was the world’s No.2 short video platform in the first nine months last year, its IPO prospectus said.\nIt had an average of 275.9 million daily active users over the period, the prospectus adds, citing iResearch, as the pandemic forced people to spend more time online.\nWhile access to Kuaishou is free, the company makes money through selling virtual items which users gift to the creators of the videos, online marketing and commissions from e-commerce sales on the platform.\nThe company plans to use the proceeds of the IPO to grow its ecosystem, strengthen research and for selective acquisitions, it said in an exchange filing.\nBUBBLE WORRIES\nKuaishou’s sharp spike on debut, however, comes against the backdrop of growing fears about an asset bubble, with amateur investors boosting the price of assets ranging from cryptocurrencies to new market listings.\nShares in Smoore International gained 150% in July last year after it raised $1.1 billion at its IPO.\nJD Health International Inc gained 56% when it debuted in December after raising about $3.48 billion, and toy maker Pop Mart International Group closed nearly 80% higher on its first day.\nThe recent sharp rise and fall in U.S. videogame retailer GameStop and some other stocks have put investors on edge and prompted some brokerages to raise margin requirements or stop offering leverage for buying securities.\n($1 = 7.7523 Hong Kong dollars)","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":50,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[{"author":{"id":"3569274903458035","authorId":"3569274903458035","name":"HLPA","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/07e7b987a9127c5a47dbc3ae02db548b","crmLevel":7,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3569274903458035","authorIdStr":"3569274903458035"},"content":"likely will come down usually after ipo","text":"likely will come down usually after ipo","html":"likely will come down usually after ipo"}],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":369164767,"gmtCreate":1614009049159,"gmtModify":1704886932244,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","listText":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","text":"Next decade’s growth will be driven by technology","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/369164767","repostId":"1106666176","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106666176","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613987158,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106666176?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-22 17:45","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Silicon Valley is not suffering a tech exodus, and money is flowing in at record rate — for a fortunate few","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106666176","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"New data show little proof that people are leaving the Bay Area in droves, instead detailing record ","content":"<p>New data show little proof that people are leaving the Bay Area in droves, instead detailing record investment in startups and booming market caps for Big Tech while the region’s poor residents suffer brunt of COVID-19 pandemic</p>\n<p>Despite reports of an exodus, Silicon Valley remains the tech capital of the world, with new data showing continued record investment in the industry in 2020 and no overall declines in jobs and population in the region.</p>\n<p>While the high-profile departures of&nbsp;rich executives and investors like Elon Musk&nbsp;and&nbsp;companies like Oracle Corp.&nbsp;and&nbsp;Hewlett Packard Enterprise Corp.&nbsp;have raised questions about the future of California’s tech powerhouse, an annual report out this week found little evidence of a trend. Instead, the major effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020 was the widening of the divide between the haves and have-nots, thanks to all the money still flowing into just a few pockets as the coronavirus ravages poorer communities.</p>\n<p>“Today, we must frankly admit that the pandemic has made the rich richer while the poor are dying,” said Russell Hancock, chief executive of Joint Venture Silicon Valley, which published its annual Silicon Valley Index this week detailing what happened in the region last year.</p>\n<p>The report showed record venture capital investment in Bay Area startups, along with booming market capitalizations for public tech companies and standard-setting initial public offerings. Amid fears of a tech-worker stampede out of the Golden State as companies allowed remote work, the population in Silicon Valley — defined as Santa Clara and San Mateo counties — was mostly flat for the year, rising 0.02%.</p>\n<p>While an overall out-migration was tracked in San Francisco, the vast majority of those who left the most prominent city in the region last year&nbsp;remained in the state, according to U.S. Postal Service data crunched by the San Francisco Chronicle this week. That’s in line with what the Silicon Valley Index shows: 59% of the people who have left the valley in the past few years have stayed in California, moving up or down the state.</p>\n<p>“I think we can all calm down,” said Rachel Massaro, Joint Venture’s director of research, during a news briefing about the index. “We’re a place of innovation. We’re a place that houses these impactful companies. We have not seen any significant losses among them.”</p>\n<p>In short, the region’s biggest companies and highest-paid people fared drastically better and in many cases thrived — white-collar workers, who earn more than three times as those in service occupations, got to work remotely and protect themselves from a deadly virus — while low-wage workers lost jobs and fell ill, their lack of a safety net shining a harsher light on inequality.</p>\n<p>“It’s a tale of two economies,” Hancock said. “There are two stories.”</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4e74e27c802a7abc5e4f17381a9dc9f7\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"343\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"><b>The tech story</b></p>\n<p>Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies’ market capitalization climbed 37% to $10.5 trillion last year, according to the report, thanks to huge spikes from companies such as Tesla Inc.TSLA,-0.77%,which saw its market cap skyrocket more than 700% in 2020; Apple Inc.AAPL,+0.12%,which saw a 77% increase, while Facebook Inc.FB,-2.91%grew 30% and GoogleGOOGL,-0.81%experienced a 28% boost.</p>\n<p>Big Tech kept getting bigger in other ways as well. The top 15 tech employers in the area — which includes the above plus other large companies like Intel Corp.INTC,+2.27%,Salesforce Inc.CRM,-0.18%and Cisco Systems Inc.CSCO,-1.42%— ended the year with a 3.7% increase in jobs even while the region saw a couple hundred thousand jobs disappear overall. And despite nagging questions about the effects of a work-from-home shift on commercial real estate, the largest companies in the region continued construction on existing projects, such as Google’s planned massive development in San Jose, Calif.</p>\n<p>The next generation also received record investment totals. Snowflake Inc.SNOW,+0.08%,DoorDash Inc.and Airbnb Inc.,all based in the Bay Area, were the three biggest U.S. initial public offerings of 2020, not including special-purpose acquisition companies. And even in a booming year for IPOs, Silicon Valley outperformed the rest: 2020 IPOs from the valley grew 117% and S.F. issuances grew 101%, while IPOs in general returned 80% last year, according to the Silicon Valley Index.</p>\n<p>It was also a record year for venture capital, with funding to Silicon Valley and San Francisco companies increasing 8% from 2019, the report said. Of the $123.6 billion in U.S. VC funding in 2020, $26.4 billion went to Silicon Valley, $20 billion to San Francisco and $67 billion to California. A lot of that investment went into well-known startups including Bay Area decacorns (private companies worth at least $10 billion) like Stripe, Instacart and Robinhood.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/aecd2f4f6588dc206cb09b59ebe10136\" tg-width=\"620\" tg-height=\"502\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p><b>The other, less positive story</b></p>\n<p>While Big Tech flourished and money continued to pour into potential additions to that group, the gap between those flourishing from that performance and Silicon Valley’s poorer residents is wider than ever, the index shows.</p>\n<p>As of last Friday, 2,069 people in the region had died of COVID-19, Hancock said. Death rates were highest among Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders, Black/African Americans and Hispanic or Latinos, respectively. A report by the&nbsp;Mercury News&nbsp;showed that death rates were far higher in poorer neighborhoods than wealthier ones, such as in the largely Latino neighborhoods of East San Jose.</p>\n<p>Lower-wage workers lost their jobs or had to put their health at risk to hang onto their positions.</p>\n<p>“The pandemic wiped out our service sector and in-person economy,” Hancock said. “There’s real carnage out there. People have lost their livelihoods.”</p>\n<p>The region’s community infrastructure and service jobs declined 54% by midyear 2020. Hispanic people were 1.5 times more likely to file unemployment claims as white people, Hancock said. And in December, more than 626,000 households in the Bay Area, including nearly 200,000 households in Silicon Valley, were at risk of eviction or mortgage nonpayment, according to the index.</p>\n<p>Shuttle drivers who drove tech employees to various offices around the Bay Area for companies such as Salesforce Inc.,Twitter Inc.&nbsp;and others — which have told their employees they can work remotely permanently or most of the time — have been laid off or furloughed, said Stacy Murphy, business representative for Teamsters Local 853, which represents about 800 shuttle drivers in the Bay Area. Some drivers are still on paid furlough, but others are no longer receiving wages and most have no idea when they can return to work.</p>\n<p>“We are all patiently waiting,” said Murphy, who has said the union is in constant discussions and is advocating for the drivers to keep getting paid.</p>\n<p><b>The murky future</b></p>\n<p>Some data from the index shows that concerns about a threat to the region’s reign as a tech center are not unfounded. Although Silicon Valley’s population did not decline in 2020, a yearslong out-migration trend did continue. Still, the index shows that the net out-migration in 2020 was about half that of the departures from the region in 2001, after the dot-com bubble burst.</p>\n<p>The index also shows that the employment growth rate of the top 15 largest tech employers in Denver (14.7%) and Sacramento (14.5%) were nearly four times that of the Bay Area’s 3.7%. And the Bay Area’s share of those same companies’ U.S. workforces fell from 26.1% in January 2020 to 23.9% in December. While the percentage gains were smaller, the Bay Area still added more tech jobs in total than the other metropolitan areas.</p>\n<p>Metro areas in Florida, Texas and elsewhere are touting themselves as the next big tech hubs as companies and executives move to places like Texas, where Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co.&nbsp;have moved their headquarters — even as many Oracle employees remain in the Bay Area, Hancock pointed out.</p>\n<p>As other companies move or make decisions about whether their employees should return to the office, it will affect the construction projects that have been put on hold or the office-space rental rates that have mostly held steady.</p>\n<p>The Bay Area Council, which includes the region’s companies as members and advocates for business-friendly policies, has launched a “business climate” initiative as it worries about companies leaving the region.</p>\n<p>“It’s not going to be an immediate change,” said Patrick Kallerman, research director for the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. “The Bay Area isn’t going to be a ghost town in six months. We’re asking ourselves if this is going to be a long-term, significant change.”</p>\n<p>Those changes will affect the quality of life in the Bay Area as municipalities find themselves with budget shortfalls. Silicon Valley city revenues are expected to decline by an average of 5% mostly due to the pandemic’s effects, according to the SV Index. San Francisco saw sales tax revenue decline 43% in the second quarter of 2020 compared with the prior year, according to the&nbsp;San Francisco Chronicle, which looked at the effects of the pandemic on the city’s once-bustling&nbsp;downtown.</p>\n<p>What happens to the big businesses — whether they leave, stay, change their work-from-home policies — will affect the small ones, too.</p>\n<p>Alicia Villanueva, who owns Alicia’s Tamales Los Mayas, a tamale factory in Hayward, Calif., and Lynna Martinez, owner of Cuban Kitchen, a restaurant in San Mateo, Calif., both said that despite devastating drops in their revenue, they avoided laying off any employees because of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other loans.</p>\n<p>Both businesses relied heavily on catering to tech and other companies in the Bay Area.</p>\n<p>“We had hundreds of clients, including Oracle, Facebook, Google and Comcast,” Martinez said. “We would do anywhere between 100 to 300 orders before we opened our doors at 11 a.m. Then in March and April, boom, 50% of our business was gone.”</p>\n<p>The two women said they have had to adjust and make up the lost business however they can. Martinez said her catering business is probably a tenth of what it once was. Villanueva’s son is delivering tamales to a school district that’s more than 60 miles away.</p>\n<p>“He’s waking up at 2 a.m. to get ready and deliver to Vacaville at 5 a.m.,” said Villanueva, who has 21 employees.</p>\n<p>Martinez and her eight employees are relying more on referrals, and she’s now considering franchising.</p>\n<p>“The pandemic forced us to target a wider, more dispersed base,” she said. “In some ways, this was a good challenge for me as a business owner who wanted to pursue the idea of having a franchise.”</p>","source":"market_watch","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

Hispanic people were 1.5 times more likely to file unemployment claims as white people, Hancock said. And in December, more than 626,000 households in the Bay Area, including nearly 200,000 households in Silicon Valley, were at risk of eviction or mortgage nonpayment, according to the index.\nShuttle drivers who drove tech employees to various offices around the Bay Area for companies such as Salesforce Inc.,Twitter Inc. and others — which have told their employees they can work remotely permanently or most of the time — have been laid off or furloughed, said Stacy Murphy, business representative for Teamsters Local 853, which represents about 800 shuttle drivers in the Bay Area. Some drivers are still on paid furlough, but others are no longer receiving wages and most have no idea when they can return to work.\n“We are all patiently waiting,” said Murphy, who has said the union is in constant discussions and is advocating for the drivers to keep getting paid.\nThe murky future\nSome data from the index shows that concerns about a threat to the region’s reign as a tech center are not unfounded. Although Silicon Valley’s population did not decline in 2020, a yearslong out-migration trend did continue. Still, the index shows that the net out-migration in 2020 was about half that of the departures from the region in 2001, after the dot-com bubble burst.\nThe index also shows that the employment growth rate of the top 15 largest tech employers in Denver (14.7%) and Sacramento (14.5%) were nearly four times that of the Bay Area’s 3.7%. And the Bay Area’s share of those same companies’ U.S. workforces fell from 26.1% in January 2020 to 23.9% in December. While the percentage gains were smaller, the Bay Area still added more tech jobs in total than the other metropolitan areas.\nMetro areas in Florida, Texas and elsewhere are touting themselves as the next big tech hubs as companies and executives move to places like Texas, where Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. have moved their headquarters — even as many Oracle employees remain in the Bay Area, Hancock pointed out.\nAs other companies move or make decisions about whether their employees should return to the office, it will affect the construction projects that have been put on hold or the office-space rental rates that have mostly held steady.\nThe Bay Area Council, which includes the region’s companies as members and advocates for business-friendly policies, has launched a “business climate” initiative as it worries about companies leaving the region.\n“It’s not going to be an immediate change,” said Patrick Kallerman, research director for the Bay Area Council Economic Institute. “The Bay Area isn’t going to be a ghost town in six months. We’re asking ourselves if this is going to be a long-term, significant change.”\nThose changes will affect the quality of life in the Bay Area as municipalities find themselves with budget shortfalls. Silicon Valley city revenues are expected to decline by an average of 5% mostly due to the pandemic’s effects, according to the SV Index. San Francisco saw sales tax revenue decline 43% in the second quarter of 2020 compared with the prior year, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which looked at the effects of the pandemic on the city’s once-bustling downtown.\nWhat happens to the big businesses — whether they leave, stay, change their work-from-home policies — will affect the small ones, too.\nAlicia Villanueva, who owns Alicia’s Tamales Los Mayas, a tamale factory in Hayward, Calif., and Lynna Martinez, owner of Cuban Kitchen, a restaurant in San Mateo, Calif., both said that despite devastating drops in their revenue, they avoided laying off any employees because of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and other loans.\nBoth businesses relied heavily on catering to tech and other companies in the Bay Area.\n“We had hundreds of clients, including Oracle, Facebook, Google and Comcast,” Martinez said. “We would do anywhere between 100 to 300 orders before we opened our doors at 11 a.m. Then in March and April, boom, 50% of our business was gone.”\nThe two women said they have had to adjust and make up the lost business however they can. Martinez said her catering business is probably a tenth of what it once was. Villanueva’s son is delivering tamales to a school district that’s more than 60 miles away.\n“He’s waking up at 2 a.m. to get ready and deliver to Vacaville at 5 a.m.,” said Villanueva, who has 21 employees.\nMartinez and her eight employees are relying more on referrals, and she’s now considering franchising.\n“The pandemic forced us to target a wider, more dispersed base,” she said. “In some ways, this was a good challenge for me as a business owner who wanted to pursue the idea of having a franchise.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":487,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":381386694,"gmtCreate":1612931478618,"gmtModify":1704876168202,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Best to invest in an etf to capture the growth","listText":"Best to invest in an etf to capture the growth","text":"Best to invest in an etf to capture the growth","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/381386694","repostId":"1106106453","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":186,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":385885358,"gmtCreate":1613530977474,"gmtModify":1704881686409,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Witcher sucks ?","listText":"Witcher sucks ?","text":"Witcher sucks ?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/385885358","repostId":"1198794670","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198794670","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613529223,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198794670?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-17 10:33","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Netflix to Debut Anime Series Based on Valve’s Popular Dota Game","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198794670","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Multiplayer PC title had 7.7 million unique players last month\nFree to play, it generates revenue fr","content":"<ul>\n <li>Multiplayer PC title had 7.7 million unique players last month</li>\n <li>Free to play, it generates revenue from in-game purchases</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Netflix Inc., which struck gold with its adaptation of “The Witcher” a year ago, is looking for another crossover hit from the games industry with the announcement of an anime series based on&nbsp;Valve Corp.’s Dota 2.</p>\n<p>“Dota: Dragon’s Blood” will premiere on March 25 and feature characters from the multiplayer title such as the Dragon Knight Davion and Princess Mirana.

One of Ant’s early proposals to regulators had envisioned putting only financial operations into the new structure.</p>\n<p>An official announcement on the overhaul could come before the start of China’s Lunar New Year holiday next week, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which owns about a third of Ant, erased losses in Hong Kong trading on Wednesday after Bloomberg reported the agreement. The stock closed with a 0.4% gain.</p>\n<p>Ant’s restructuring plan marks the first big step in what’s expected to be a lengthy overhaul process, as regulators draw up detailed capital requirements and other guidelines for companies that span multiple financial business lines.</p>\n<p>China only introduced its framework for financial holding companies in September and many of the specifics are still being ironed out. While the rules will eventually provide more regulatory clarity for Ant, they’ll almost certainly force the company to slow the torrid pace of expansion that has made it China’s dominant fintech player and <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the world’s most valuable startups.</p>\n<p>Ant is still exploring possibilities to revive its initial public offering, which was abruptly halted by regulators in November, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> person familiar with the matter said. But given the financial holding company framework is so new, it’s unclear how long it might take for authorities to sign off a listing.</p>\n<p>Ant declined to comment. The People’s Bank of China, which oversees financial holding companies, didn’t immediately respond to a faxed request for comment.</p>\n<p>Ant’s restructuring is part of a broader government campaign to increase supervision of the financial and technology sectors. Regulators have in recent months targeted everything from health-care crowdfunding to consumer lending.

One of Ant’s early proposals to regulators had envisioned putting only financial operations into the new structure.\nAn official announcement on the overhaul could come before the start of China’s Lunar New Year holiday next week, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which owns about a third of Ant, erased losses in Hong Kong trading on Wednesday after Bloomberg reported the agreement. The stock closed with a 0.4% gain.\nAnt’s restructuring plan marks the first big step in what’s expected to be a lengthy overhaul process, as regulators draw up detailed capital requirements and other guidelines for companies that span multiple financial business lines.\nChina only introduced its framework for financial holding companies in September and many of the specifics are still being ironed out. While the rules will eventually provide more regulatory clarity for Ant, they’ll almost certainly force the company to slow the torrid pace of expansion that has made it China’s dominant fintech player and one of the world’s most valuable startups.\nAnt is still exploring possibilities to revive its initial public offering, which was abruptly halted by regulators in November, one person familiar with the matter said. But given the financial holding company framework is so new, it’s unclear how long it might take for authorities to sign off a listing.\nAnt declined to comment. The People’s Bank of China, which oversees financial holding companies, didn’t immediately respond to a faxed request for comment.\nAnt’s restructuring is part of a broader government campaign to increase supervision of the financial and technology sectors. Regulators have in recent months targeted everything from health-care crowdfunding to consumer lending. In January, they proposed measures to curb market concentration in online payments, where Ant and Tencent Holdings Ltd. are the biggest players.\nThe clampdown has fueled intense speculation over the status of Ma, who co-founded both Ant and Alibaba. The e-commerce giant has also faced increased government scrutiny in recent months, becoming the target of an antitrust investigation in December.\nMa’s appearance in a live-streamed video conference in January -- after several months out of public view -- has helped quell talk of worst-case scenarios for his business empire. Still, plenty of uncertainty remains: even after Wednesday’s gain, Alibaba’s Hong Kong shares are trading about 15% below their record high in October.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":127,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":315752233,"gmtCreate":1612277912522,"gmtModify":1704869205925,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Trade with caution","listText":"Trade with caution","text":"Trade with caution","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/315752233","repostId":"1174194031","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1174194031","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1612246894,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1174194031?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-02 14:21","market":"us","language":"en","title":"How a GameStop share pullback could hurt some investors","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1174194031","media":"Reuters","summary":"(Reuters) - Any pullback in GameStop Corp’s shares potentially exposes some investors to losses.

The number of GameStop shares shorted has fallen by more than half in the past week, as shorts have covered their bets, Dusaniwsky said.\nIf new shorts join in as the stock slides, it would exacerbate the selling, as long holders try to exit their positions to realize profits, Dusaniwsky said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":84,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":363336758,"gmtCreate":1614093312974,"gmtModify":1704888096148,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Unprecedented amount of liquidity in the market though, can’t be all the inflows to&nbsp;bonds?&nbsp;","listText":"Unprecedented amount of liquidity in the market though, can’t be all the inflows to&nbsp;bonds?&nbsp;","text":"Unprecedented amount of liquidity in the market though, can’t be all the inflows to bonds?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/363336758","repostId":"1107213324","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":772,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":363331058,"gmtCreate":1614093207874,"gmtModify":1704888092245,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Market moving down... good time to enter?","listText":"Market moving down... good time to enter?","text":"Market moving down... good time to enter?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/363331058","repostId":"1198320495","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1198320495","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614087585,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1198320495?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-23 21:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The market is getting nervous about Powell’s testimony this week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1198320495","media":"cnbc","summary":"Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks twice to Congress this week as part of mandated semiannual testimony.Normally nonevents for the market, the central bank leader’s comments will be viewed closely this week for how he views this year’s run-up in bond yields.Investors worry that too quick of a rise might force the Fed to tighten policy too quickly, while a complacent Fed also would pose overheating risks.Rising bond yields and accompanying inflation fears are adding a level of drama to","content":"<div>\n<p>KEY POINTSFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell speaks twice to Congress this week as part of mandated semiannual testimony.Normally nonevents for the market, the central bank leader’s comments will ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/22/market-nervousness-growing-over-powells-testimony-to-congress-this-week.html\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n","source":"cnbc_highlight","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

He’s really caught between a rock and a hard place.”What’s got the market’s attention recently has been a pickup in government bond yields, particularly further out on the curve.While the 2-year is unchanged for 2021, the 5-year has risen nearly a quarter percentage point as of Friday’s market close while the benchmark 10-year note has seen its yield jump 41 basis points to 1.34%, an area where it hasn’t been since around the same time in 2020, before the worst of the pandemic struck.The 30-year bond yield has surged even more, leaping nearly half a point this year to 2.14%.Powell’s dilemma is this: Rising bond yields could be signaling the reflation of the economy that the Fed has been pushing and are therefore higher for good reasons. However, should the trend get out of control, the Fed then might have to tighten policy faster than the market expects, offsetting some of the good that has come with the burst in yields.Complicating the matter is that markets also might not like it if Powell is overly complacent.“If this testimony was behind closed doors, I think Jay Powell would be quite pleased with what he sees in the economy and the markets,” Sheets said, using the Fed chair’s nickname. “But given that it’s public, he’s got to be careful. If he’s too sanguine about the rise in rates, the markets are going to take that as a significant green light for rates to rip higher.”“The Fed is comfortable with an organic rise in rates reflecting shifts in views on growth and inflation,” he added. “But I think the Fed also wants to be careful that it doesn’t create and amplify a self-sustaining dynamic that pushes rates higher for other reasons.”Those “other reasons” primarily would be fears that the economy could overheat.Stimulus and more stimulusThe Fed has run historically loose policy for the past year, dropping its benchmark borrowing rate to near zero and buying at least $120 billion of bonds each month. That’s on top of a series of since-expired lending and liquidity programs implemented in the early days of the Covid-19 crisis.Along with that, Congress has come in with more than $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus and could approve up to $1.9 trillion more by the end of week.All that has transpired amid an economy that, besides a still-troubling employment problem primarily in the service sector, is humming. Wall Street is taking up first-quarter growth expectations and market-based indicators of inflation are rising.That’s why Powell’s tightrope walk this week will be all the more compelling.“The market mood has changed,”Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at Allianz, said Monday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” It’s no longer whether yields are going higher, it’s when is the move too big. That’s what the market’s trying to figure out.”Investors are particularly concerned whether all the stimulus isn’t going overboard and threatening to destabilize the economy over the longer run.“I can predict that the yellow lights are flashing all over the Fed because of the [yields] move and the steepening of the yield curve, and the Fed may do more to try to control yields,” El-Erian said.Fed officials have largely dismissed so-called yield curve control to use its bond purchasing power to control rates between various fixed income maturities.But the market could force the Fed’s hand, and Powell is likely to get asked about where he stands on what tools the Fed has to calm market issues. He has repeatedly stressed that the central bank has the weapons to control inflation, but deploying those comes with a price. Markets used to low yields and companies accustomed to cheap borrowing costs could get rattled by an unexpected Fed move.Evidence of how clearly the market is watching the issue came Monday morning, when European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde said she is “closely monitoring the evolution of longer-term nominal bond yields.” Her words were enough to calm a jittery market and turn what had been an opening loss on Wall Street into a mixed market with the Dow up in early afternoon trading. Treasury yields were mostly flat on the day.Tom Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, noted that his “clients have already expressed some apprehension about this week. Part of this reflects the fact that bond yields have been steadily rising and equity investors are nervous that the bond market might reach some sort of ‘breaking point’” during Powell’s testimony.Powell speaks Tuesday before the Senate Finance Committee then Wednesday to the House Financial Services Committee.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":697,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":360472649,"gmtCreate":1613972139381,"gmtModify":1704886308682,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Return of Big Oil?&nbsp;","listText":"Return of Big Oil?&nbsp;","text":"Return of Big Oil?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/360472649","repostId":"1187071456","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":602,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":382639736,"gmtCreate":1613439675525,"gmtModify":1704880450564,"author":{"id":"3557396351698356","authorId":"3557396351698356","name":"teycwee","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3557396351698356","authorIdStr":"3557396351698356"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Another bull run?&nbsp;","listText":"Another bull run?&nbsp;","text":"Another bull run?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/382639736","repostId":"2110049742","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2110049742","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"T-Reuters","id":"1086160438","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a113a995fbbc262262d15a5ce37e7bc5"},"pubTimestamp":1613014050,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2110049742?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-02-11 11:27","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Signify Health Announces Pricing Of IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2110049742","media":"T-Reuters","summary":"Signify Health Inc:Signify Health Announces Pricing Of Initial Public Offering.Says Initial Public O","content":"<p>Signify Health Inc:Signify Health Announces Pricing Of Initial Public Offering.Says Initial Public Offering Of 23.5 Million Shares Priced At $24.00Per Share.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
