How an options-buying frenzy is providing another jolt to meme stocks","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1120523685","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"It’s not just individual investors participating in latest squeeze, observers say\nAnother options-fu","content":"<p>It’s not just individual investors participating in latest squeeze, observers say</p>\n<p>Another options-fueled buying frenzy appeared to be sending shares of GameStop Corp. and other “meme” stocks soaring on Thursday. But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.</p>\n<p>The primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.</p>\n<p>A surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.</p>\n<p>The company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.</p>\n<p><b>‘Gamma squeeze’</b></p>\n<p>A call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.</p>\n<p>Buying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.</p>\n<p>But the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.</p>\n<p>GameStop&nbsp;shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it&nbsp;ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares&nbsp;popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.</p>\n<p><b>Where are the shorts?</b></p>\n<p>GameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.</p>\n<p>GameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.</p>\n<p>It’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.</p>\n<p>The broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%.

But unlike last month’s market-rattling move, it wasn’t clear that individual investors were the primary driver.\nThe primary mechanism, however, appeared largely the same.\nA surge in purchases of GameStop call options, centered on those with a strike price of $60 and due to expire at the end of the week, was seen late Wednesday afternoon, said Gust Kepler, chief executive of BlackBoxStocks, a stock-and-options analytics and social platform. That triggered an alert sent by BlackBoxStocks at 3:27 p.m. Eastern, he said. Another alert was triggered early Thursday by heavy interest in calls with a $125 strike price.\nThe company tracks options buying activity, with an eye toward large institutional buyers. Concerted activity by individual investors can also be picked up as brokers, which are part of the institutional universe, move to fill orders. The recent activity appeared to likely be a combination of big, professional players as well as individual buyers, Kepler said, in an interview.\n‘Gamma squeeze’\nA call option is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy the underlying security at a set price, known as the strike price, by a certain date. By buying far “out of the money” calls, which have a strike price well above the stock’s present level, investors are betting that a surge in the stock price will net them a healthy profit.\nBuying far out of the money calls is usually a losing proposition, analysts noted, and a surge in interest can make the strategy more expensive as premiums rise in response to demand.\nBut the options buying can, under certain circumstances, create conditions in which a price rally feeds on itself. Known as a “gamma squeeze,” this occurs when the sellers of the call options, in order to hedge their positions, buy the underlying stock. As the price of the stock rises, they need to buy more to maintain their hedge, creating the feedback loop.\nGameStop shares soared in late afternoon trade Wednesday, prompting trading halts before it ended with a gain of 104%.Nearly 65 million shares changed hands, with volume surging as the closing bell neared, compared with a recent average daily volume of 14.7 million shares. GameStop shares popped as much as 85% at Thursday’s opening bell. Gains were trimmed by the close, but it still finished at $108.73, up more than 18%.\nWhere are the shorts?\nGameStop, which ended last year near $17 a share, soared as high as $483 in late January as concerted buying efforts initiated by individual investors on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum contributed to a short squeeze, forcing traders who had bet on falling stock prices to cover their positions, adding to the buying frenzy.\nGameStop shares subsequently fell back, trading below $40 a share last week. The late-January episode briefly rattled financial markets, triggered investigations and brought additional scrutiny, including a high-profile congressional hearing, on online brokers, market makers, and other players.\nIt’s also brought attention to the broader role individual investors are playing and the possibility of a sustained pickup in retail interest that could alter market dynamics over the long run.\nThe broader stock marketsaw steep lossesthat deepened ahead of the closing bell, though the tech-led fall was blamed largely on a sharp jump in Treasury yields. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped nearly 560 points, or 1.8%. The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 3.5%.\nSome market watchers, however, saw a possible but not clear-cut link between the GameStop activity and the selloff.\nGameStop might still be a popular short among some hedge funds, said Thomas Lee, managing partner and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors, in a Thursday note. That could be fostering a repeat of the late-January “degrossing” episode, in which hedge funds sold assets in order to reduce leverage, in keeping with “value-at-risk” models.\nMeanwhile, other market watchers questioned how much fuel existed for for a repeat short squeeze, noting a sharp fall in short interest and expectations that remaining shorts are more adequately hedged against sharp moves.\nShort interest in GameStop had reached 140% in January, but has since fallen back closer to 30%, noted Edward Moya, senior market analyst at brokerage Oanda, in a note, observing that professional investors likely also see an opportunity near options expiration dates following last month’s action.\n“One thing is clear, the institutional money behind this move found options expiration as a pivotal opportunity that will make it easier for market disruptions,” Moya wrote. “The violent price swings might remain elevated around options expirations for the Reddit-WallStreetBets crowd.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9,"AMC":0.9,"BB":0.9,"GME":0.9,"KOSS":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1913,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368665972,"gmtCreate":1614319342796,"gmtModify":1703476300324,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gg","listText":"Gg","text":"Gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368665972","repostId":"1144534887","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1624,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368662147,"gmtCreate":1614319305589,"gmtModify":1703476299127,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Jei jei","listText":"Jei jei","text":"Jei jei","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368662147","repostId":"1145712275","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":878,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368003309,"gmtCreate":1614264716101,"gmtModify":1634550392675,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wooo gosh","listText":"Wooo gosh","text":"Wooo gosh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368003309","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":264,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":368000922,"gmtCreate":1614264667466,"gmtModify":1634550393532,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Gme gg","listText":"Gme gg","text":"Gme gg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/368000922","repostId":"1136762256","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1136762256","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614246762,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1136762256?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-25 17:52","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 smarter ways to play the boom in videogames and esports than buying GameStop","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1136762256","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Look beyond Activision Blizzard and Nvidia\nGameStop grabbed headlines based on the notion that the “","content":"<p>Look beyond Activision Blizzard and Nvidia</p>\n<p>GameStop grabbed headlines based on the notion that the “smart money” simply didn’t understand this stock. But for investors looking for a less volatile play on the gaming megatrens, here are seven options that may fit better in most portfolios.</p>\n<p>Research firm NPD has shown that three out of four Americans, or&nbsp;roughly 244 million of us, play videogames for an average of 14 hours a week. And thanks to a lack of entertainment options outside the home in 2020, gaming sales worldwide surged 20% to a staggering&nbsp;$180 billion.</p>\n<p>In fact, gaming is so popular and lucrative that professional esports now has an audience of about 500 million people worldwide — with a 70% increase in the number of viewers in the U.S. last year because of the pandemic and the lack of traditional spectator sports options. And as with so many other tech trends, these recent converts are likely to stick and continue powering the esports business. Here’s one way to put it in context: esports are expected to have almost&nbsp;800 million&nbsp;viewers by 2024 – nearly as many as about 825 million or so fans of professional basketball worldwide today.</p>\n<p>Some of the biggest publicly traded videogame stocks are already old news. Over the last 10 years, gaming powerhouse Activision Blizzard&nbsp;has surged about 800% compared with about 200% for the S&amp;P 500 index&nbsp;in the same period, growing to almost $80 billion in market value. And of course there has been the frenzy over GameStock&nbsp;that led toa congressional hearing.</p>\n<p>But there are a host of up-and-coming companies looking to level up amid continued growth for the industry. If you’re looking to play the gaming and esports craze, here are some options worth a look:</p>\n<p><b>Nintendo</b></p>\n<p>Nintendo&nbsp;is an icon of the videogame industry. But just five years ago there was talk of “Nintendo’s Sad Struggle for Survival” amid waning popularity and weakening finances.</p>\n<p>The house of Mario has come back big time, thanks to its innovative Switch console that successfully bridged console and mobile gaming markets. Nintendo’s eShop is now bursting with “casual” games like the smash hit “Among Us,” which was originally built for mobile phones and boasted&nbsp;half a billion players&nbsp;in November. While there are big margins on $70 games or high-end hardware, Nintendo has built both its user base and its software offerings around low-cost diversions that collectively add up to serious revenue.</p>\n<p>At the same time, a strange convergence of circumstances have created big tailwinds for Nintendo’s high-end titles. Since its prior console — the Wii U — was a bit of a flop, Nintendo was able to reissue many native games with big price tags during the Switch’s early years. Now the company has planned releases in both its Zelda and Metroid franchises along with a potential upgrade to the Switch itself to drive high-margin hardware sales.</p>\n<p>Thanks to these facts and a big pandemic boost, Nintendo stock has doubled from its early 2019 levels and is now trading at its highest levels since 2007. And if the&nbsp;2021 release schedule&nbsp;lives up to the hype, we could see new all-time highs as this Japanese gaming powerhouse continues its return to dominance in the industry.</p>\n<p><b>Corsair</b></p>\n<p>If Nintendo has cashed in by connecting with more casual gamers, then Corsair Gaming&nbsp;shows how to cater to very serious PC gamers. This roughly $4 billion company is a top supplier of gaming-related parts from CPUs to peripherals like headsets and keyboards to specialty components for streaming gameplay on the internet. The streaming business line is particularly interesting, both via competitive esports play as well as commercial gamers looking to win viewers on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n<p>The company completed its initial public offering in September and is soundly profitable. It’s also growing impressively, with its&nbsp;fourth-quarter earnings report&nbsp;in February showing a staggering 70% revenue growth and 118% profit growth year-over-year. Management has said this is thanks to expansion in all categories, too, and not just one item that’s hot at the moment.</p>\n<p>We’ve seen the power of high-end hardware stocks before with companies like the Nvidia,which is up fourfold from the end of 2018 thanks in part to its best-in-class graphics cards and now worth $370 billion. But what makes Corsair so great is that it’s not a competitor to Nvidia; in fact, when folks look to build a new gaming rig to incorporate components like the Nvidia GeForce 4k graphics card that was recently released, they are likely to upgrade everything else, too.</p>\n<p>That could allow Corsair to piggyback this trend in the short term and continue to build on its track record of success.</p>\n<p><b>Sea</b></p>\n<p>Singapore-based Sea&nbsp;isn’t well known in the West, but that may change quickly given its 2020 stock performance. Over the last 12 months, the stock has surged roughly 420% thanks to amazing growth and big tailwinds behind its unique technology business.</p>\n<p>That business involves a dominant gaming catalog offered under Sea’s&nbsp;Garena&nbsp;brand, led by multiplayer online battle arena&nbsp;(MOBA)&nbsp;games like League of Legends. Not only are the games themselves popular, but related MOBA esports broadcasts are big business, too. Consider that the 2020 League of Legends championship tallied&nbsp;139 million total hours&nbsp;of viewership with peak viewership of 3.8 million people watching at once.</p>\n<p>While League of Legends is admittedly one of the more mature franchises in Sea’s arsenal, the company certainly isn’t a one-trick pony. Its mobile-friendly MOBA title Free Fire was the most-downloaded game in the Google Play store in 2019 and just hit&nbsp;80 million&nbsp;daily users at the end of last year.</p>\n<p>And it doesn’t stop with just these games. This unique tech stock has divisions that focus on live streaming and social features for gamers, such as user chat and online forums, and a mobile-centric e-commerce marketplace to help with seller services like shipping and logistics.</p>\n<p>That adds up to a company that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on many parts of the gaming ecosystem, making Sea a very attractive option for those looking to tap into the full potential of this lucrative industry.</p>\n<p><b>Immersion</b></p>\n<p>The smallest and most aggressive play on this list is Immersion,a $350 million stock that is involved with “haptics.” This is the fancy technical term for motion and touch controls that use real-world feedback to allow users to interact with a computer or game console.</p>\n<p>The stock has surged about 50% in the last year in part because of a lucrative deal with Sony&nbsp;to produce components for its DualSense controllers that ship with the PlayStation 5. But the company’s long-term potential is bigger than one console, as the Nintendo witch and Xbox from Microsoft&nbsp;also use motion controls. Furthermore, there’s tremendous potential in the nascent VR market, too.</p>\n<p>There’s risk here, of course, since haptics technology has become standard fare for gamers only fairly recently and tons of companies are researching new solutions and forging relationships with the bigger names in the space.</p>\n<p>Immersion is certainly not alone in this gold rush, but its track record is impressive. Thanks in part to its relationship with Sony, the stock swung from a modest loss to significant profits in 2020 — and based on FY2021 forecasts, earnings per share are set to double going forward as revenue jumps 20%. That could give investors a degree of confidence in the long-term potential of this stock.</p>\n<p><b>Videogame ETFs</b></p>\n<p>If you are interested in simply playing the broader trend of gaming and esports without jumping into individual hardware or software names, the best way to do that is via an exchange-traded fund. Three ETFs offer investors a tactical but diversified investment on this industry.</p>\n<p>The VanEck Vectors videogaming and eSports ETF&nbsp;is a well-established fund with more than $900 million in assets. For just 0.55% in annual expenses, or $55 a year on every $10,000 invested, you get a global play on this megatrend.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if you’re looking for diversification, the list of components is a bit lacking, with only 25 stocks right now. However, you’ll get the big names in the space including Nintendo and Sea along with Chinese giant Tencent Holdings.</p>\n<p>An alternative is the Global X videogames &amp; Esports ETF,which also has about $900 million in assets. It charges a slightly lower expense ratio of 0.50% annually and has just over 40 holdings at present.

But for investors looking for a less volatile play on the gaming megatrens, here are seven options that may fit better in most portfolios.\nResearch firm NPD has shown that three out of four Americans, or roughly 244 million of us, play videogames for an average of 14 hours a week. And thanks to a lack of entertainment options outside the home in 2020, gaming sales worldwide surged 20% to a staggering $180 billion.\nIn fact, gaming is so popular and lucrative that professional esports now has an audience of about 500 million people worldwide — with a 70% increase in the number of viewers in the U.S. last year because of the pandemic and the lack of traditional spectator sports options. And as with so many other tech trends, these recent converts are likely to stick and continue powering the esports business. Here’s one way to put it in context: esports are expected to have almost 800 million viewers by 2024 – nearly as many as about 825 million or so fans of professional basketball worldwide today.\nSome of the biggest publicly traded videogame stocks are already old news. Over the last 10 years, gaming powerhouse Activision Blizzard has surged about 800% compared with about 200% for the S&P 500 index in the same period, growing to almost $80 billion in market value. And of course there has been the frenzy over GameStock that led toa congressional hearing.\nBut there are a host of up-and-coming companies looking to level up amid continued growth for the industry. If you’re looking to play the gaming and esports craze, here are some options worth a look:\nNintendo\nNintendo is an icon of the videogame industry. But just five years ago there was talk of “Nintendo’s Sad Struggle for Survival” amid waning popularity and weakening finances.\nThe house of Mario has come back big time, thanks to its innovative Switch console that successfully bridged console and mobile gaming markets. Nintendo’s eShop is now bursting with “casual” games like the smash hit “Among Us,” which was originally built for mobile phones and boasted half a billion players in November. While there are big margins on $70 games or high-end hardware, Nintendo has built both its user base and its software offerings around low-cost diversions that collectively add up to serious revenue.\nAt the same time, a strange convergence of circumstances have created big tailwinds for Nintendo’s high-end titles. Since its prior console — the Wii U — was a bit of a flop, Nintendo was able to reissue many native games with big price tags during the Switch’s early years. Now the company has planned releases in both its Zelda and Metroid franchises along with a potential upgrade to the Switch itself to drive high-margin hardware sales.\nThanks to these facts and a big pandemic boost, Nintendo stock has doubled from its early 2019 levels and is now trading at its highest levels since 2007. And if the 2021 release schedule lives up to the hype, we could see new all-time highs as this Japanese gaming powerhouse continues its return to dominance in the industry.\nCorsair\nIf Nintendo has cashed in by connecting with more casual gamers, then Corsair Gaming shows how to cater to very serious PC gamers. This roughly $4 billion company is a top supplier of gaming-related parts from CPUs to peripherals like headsets and keyboards to specialty components for streaming gameplay on the internet. The streaming business line is particularly interesting, both via competitive esports play as well as commercial gamers looking to win viewers on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.\nThe company completed its initial public offering in September and is soundly profitable. It’s also growing impressively, with its fourth-quarter earnings report in February showing a staggering 70% revenue growth and 118% profit growth year-over-year. Management has said this is thanks to expansion in all categories, too, and not just one item that’s hot at the moment.\nWe’ve seen the power of high-end hardware stocks before with companies like the Nvidia,which is up fourfold from the end of 2018 thanks in part to its best-in-class graphics cards and now worth $370 billion. But what makes Corsair so great is that it’s not a competitor to Nvidia; in fact, when folks look to build a new gaming rig to incorporate components like the Nvidia GeForce 4k graphics card that was recently released, they are likely to upgrade everything else, too.\nThat could allow Corsair to piggyback this trend in the short term and continue to build on its track record of success.\nSea\nSingapore-based Sea isn’t well known in the West, but that may change quickly given its 2020 stock performance. Over the last 12 months, the stock has surged roughly 420% thanks to amazing growth and big tailwinds behind its unique technology business.\nThat business involves a dominant gaming catalog offered under Sea’s Garena brand, led by multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games like League of Legends. Not only are the games themselves popular, but related MOBA esports broadcasts are big business, too. Consider that the 2020 League of Legends championship tallied 139 million total hours of viewership with peak viewership of 3.8 million people watching at once.\nWhile League of Legends is admittedly one of the more mature franchises in Sea’s arsenal, the company certainly isn’t a one-trick pony. Its mobile-friendly MOBA title Free Fire was the most-downloaded game in the Google Play store in 2019 and just hit 80 million daily users at the end of last year.\nAnd it doesn’t stop with just these games. This unique tech stock has divisions that focus on live streaming and social features for gamers, such as user chat and online forums, and a mobile-centric e-commerce marketplace to help with seller services like shipping and logistics.\nThat adds up to a company that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on many parts of the gaming ecosystem, making Sea a very attractive option for those looking to tap into the full potential of this lucrative industry.\nImmersion\nThe smallest and most aggressive play on this list is Immersion,a $350 million stock that is involved with “haptics.” This is the fancy technical term for motion and touch controls that use real-world feedback to allow users to interact with a computer or game console.\nThe stock has surged about 50% in the last year in part because of a lucrative deal with Sony to produce components for its DualSense controllers that ship with the PlayStation 5. But the company’s long-term potential is bigger than one console, as the Nintendo witch and Xbox from Microsoft also use motion controls. Furthermore, there’s tremendous potential in the nascent VR market, too.\nThere’s risk here, of course, since haptics technology has become standard fare for gamers only fairly recently and tons of companies are researching new solutions and forging relationships with the bigger names in the space.\nImmersion is certainly not alone in this gold rush, but its track record is impressive. Thanks in part to its relationship with Sony, the stock swung from a modest loss to significant profits in 2020 — and based on FY2021 forecasts, earnings per share are set to double going forward as revenue jumps 20%. That could give investors a degree of confidence in the long-term potential of this stock.\nVideogame ETFs\nIf you are interested in simply playing the broader trend of gaming and esports without jumping into individual hardware or software names, the best way to do that is via an exchange-traded fund. Three ETFs offer investors a tactical but diversified investment on this industry.\nThe VanEck Vectors videogaming and eSports ETF is a well-established fund with more than $900 million in assets. For just 0.55% in annual expenses, or $55 a year on every $10,000 invested, you get a global play on this megatrend.\nUnfortunately, if you’re looking for diversification, the list of components is a bit lacking, with only 25 stocks right now. However, you’ll get the big names in the space including Nintendo and Sea along with Chinese giant Tencent Holdings.\nAn alternative is the Global X videogames & Esports ETF,which also has about $900 million in assets. It charges a slightly lower expense ratio of 0.50% annually and has just over 40 holdings at present. The makeup is similar to the VanEck ETF, but the longer list means U.S. stocks feature less prominently and only make up about 29% of the portfolio.\nSmallest in terms of assets is the Wedbush ETFMG videogame Tech ETF.This fund only has a bit more than $100 million in assets under management and charges the highest fees at 0.75% in expenses. However, with 91 holdings it has the deepest bench of the three — with many Asia components that are difficult for U.S. individual investors to buy as individual stocks.\nThe strategies differ slightly, but one thing has been true for all of these funds lately: Big profits for investors. All three have delivered north of 90% gains over the last 12 months, showing they all could offer profitable ways to play the uptrend in videogaming.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"CRSR":0.9,"GAMR":0.9,"GME":0.9,"IMMR":0.9,"NTDOF":0.9,"NTDOY":0.9,"SE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":641,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361777842,"gmtCreate":1614264646686,"gmtModify":1634550393778,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Oh no","listText":"Oh no","text":"Oh no","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/361777842","repostId":"2114131201","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361774344,"gmtCreate":1614264627588,"gmtModify":1634550394022,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple car!&nbsp;","listText":"Apple car!&nbsp;","text":"Apple car!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/361774344","repostId":"1165777611","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1165777611","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614247990,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1165777611?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-25 18:13","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Is Obsessed With an Apple Car.

They are attracted to the huge market size: New car sales top $2.5 trillion annually. But auto analysts’ enthusiasm for an Apple vehicle is more tempered, and perhaps for good reason.</p>\n<p>One factor that might hamper Apple’s ambitions is that cars are, of course, significantly more expensive than phones, making the purchase decision very different. In addition, “the regulatory side of the auto business is brutal and takes years to get through,” Benchmark auto analystMike Wardtells<i>Barron’s</i>.</p>\n<p>Ward says he isn’t hearing Apple buzz in the auto industry. It’s “pretty tough to keep that quiet in the auto industry—thousands of suppliers, [government] approvals, the size of the factory needed, etc.” He isn’t saying it can’t happen, but it is harder than many investors might expect.</p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley analystAdam Jonasalso covers cars mainly. He doesn’t appear certain an Apple car is on the way, but if one does show up, “don’t expect steering wheels.” That means full self-driving, which also means the Apple car is still years away.</p>\n<p>He believes an Apple car can accelerate EV penetration. That could help existing auto makers with more progressive approaches to the EV market. But higher penetration isn’t a panacea for the car business. “At some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox,” wrote the analyst in a recent report.</p>\n<p>That threat isn’t affecting his ratings on competitors yet. He rate Tesla stock Buy and callsGeneral Motors(GM) a top pick.</p>\n<p>J.P. Morgan‘s tech and car teams produced a joint report recently, and they don’t see an Apple car coming soon. They agreed if an Apple car is on the way, it will be delayed until full self-driving capability is more widely available.Robotaxi services, which can handle city driving, are planned in the next couple of years. But full self-driving capabilities are farther away—the cost of sensors needs to fall, and the software still needs to improve.</p>\n<p>The firm’s U.S. auto analystRyan Brinkmanadded that a new competitor the size and strength of Apple is a negative for existing auto makers, but, like Ward, he hasn’t heard about any collaboration in the auto-supply base.</p>\n<p>Another thing J.P. Morgan agrees on is outsourced manufacturing, meaning that Apple isn’t likely to assemble its car. That creates an opportunity for some existing car marker to build more volume. What company would win, however, isanyone’s guess.</p>\n<p>Wedbush analystDan Ives, who covers disruptive technology, which includes Apple and EV makerTesla(TSLA), is placing his bets onVolkswagen(VOW.Germany). “We assign a 85%-plus chance that Apple will announce an EV partnership/collaboration over the next 3 to 6 months,” wrote Ives in a recent report. “We continue to strongly believe that VW is a top candidate for an Apple EV partnership/JV given the company’s modular factory footprint as well as the keyQuantumScapeownership.”</p>\n<p>QuantumScape&nbsp;(QS) is&nbsp;pioneering&nbsp;solid-state lithium anode batteries that promise to improve electric-vehicle range and safety, while lowering costs and charge time.</p>\n<p>Apple car hopes aren’t affecting investors much yet. Since new reports of a possible Apple car surfaced in December, GM and Tesla shares are up about 26% and 10%, respectively. TheS&amp;P 500andDow Jones Industrial Average,for comparison, are up about 5% and 4%, respectively. Apple shares are down about 6%.</p>\n<p>Investors, it appears, have other more pressing issues on their minds.</p>","source":"lsy1601382232898","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>Wall Street Is Obsessed With an Apple Car.

But auto analysts’ enthusiasm for an Apple vehicle is more tempered, and perhaps for good reason.\nOne factor that might hamper Apple’s ambitions is that cars are, of course, significantly more expensive than phones, making the purchase decision very different. In addition, “the regulatory side of the auto business is brutal and takes years to get through,” Benchmark auto analystMike WardtellsBarron’s.\nWard says he isn’t hearing Apple buzz in the auto industry. It’s “pretty tough to keep that quiet in the auto industry—thousands of suppliers, [government] approvals, the size of the factory needed, etc.” He isn’t saying it can’t happen, but it is harder than many investors might expect.\nMorgan Stanley analystAdam Jonasalso covers cars mainly. He doesn’t appear certain an Apple car is on the way, but if one does show up, “don’t expect steering wheels.” That means full self-driving, which also means the Apple car is still years away.\nHe believes an Apple car can accelerate EV penetration. That could help existing auto makers with more progressive approaches to the EV market. But higher penetration isn’t a panacea for the car business. “At some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox,” wrote the analyst in a recent report.\nThat threat isn’t affecting his ratings on competitors yet. He rate Tesla stock Buy and callsGeneral Motors(GM) a top pick.\nJ.P. Morgan‘s tech and car teams produced a joint report recently, and they don’t see an Apple car coming soon. They agreed if an Apple car is on the way, it will be delayed until full self-driving capability is more widely available.Robotaxi services, which can handle city driving, are planned in the next couple of years. But full self-driving capabilities are farther away—the cost of sensors needs to fall, and the software still needs to improve.\nThe firm’s U.S. auto analystRyan Brinkmanadded that a new competitor the size and strength of Apple is a negative for existing auto makers, but, like Ward, he hasn’t heard about any collaboration in the auto-supply base.\nAnother thing J.P. Morgan agrees on is outsourced manufacturing, meaning that Apple isn’t likely to assemble its car. That creates an opportunity for some existing car marker to build more volume. What company would win, however, isanyone’s guess.\nWedbush analystDan Ives, who covers disruptive technology, which includes Apple and EV makerTesla(TSLA), is placing his bets onVolkswagen(VOW.Germany). “We assign a 85%-plus chance that Apple will announce an EV partnership/collaboration over the next 3 to 6 months,” wrote Ives in a recent report. “We continue to strongly believe that VW is a top candidate for an Apple EV partnership/JV given the company’s modular factory footprint as well as the keyQuantumScapeownership.”\nQuantumScape (QS) is pioneering solid-state lithium anode batteries that promise to improve electric-vehicle range and safety, while lowering costs and charge time.\nApple car hopes aren’t affecting investors much yet. Since new reports of a possible Apple car surfaced in December, GM and Tesla shares are up about 26% and 10%, respectively. TheS&P 500andDow Jones Industrial Average,for comparison, are up about 5% and 4%, respectively. Apple shares are down about 6%.\nInvestors, it appears, have other more pressing issues on their minds.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361775306,"gmtCreate":1614264596605,"gmtModify":1634550394143,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/361775306","repostId":"2114317810","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":608,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361063973,"gmtCreate":1614179468592,"gmtModify":1634550836294,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Omg","listText":"Omg","text":"Omg","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/361063973","repostId":"2113136856","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":534,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":361069769,"gmtCreate":1614179449551,"gmtModify":1634550836415,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wew","listText":"Wew","text":"Wew","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/361069769","repostId":"1197533827","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1197533827","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614160523,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1197533827?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-24 17:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"The days of easy money in the stock market are now over","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1197533827","media":"MarketWatch","summary":"Get ready for a return to normal.

(NASDAQ:NTES) should be aware of the most powerful shareholder groups. Large companies usually have institutions as shareholders, and we usually see insiders owning shares in smaller companies. I quite like to see at least a little bit of insider ownership. As Charlie Munger said 'Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.\nNetEase has a market capitalization of US$86b, so it's too big to fly under the radar. We'd expect to see both institutions and retail investors owning a portion of the company. In the chart below, we can see that institutional investors have bought into the company. We can zoom in on the different ownership groups, to learn more about NetEase.\nNasdaqGS:NTES Ownership Breakdown February 22nd 2021\nWhat Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About NetEase?\nInstitutional investors commonly compare their own returns to the returns of a commonly followed index. So they generally do consider buying larger companies that are included in the relevant benchmark index.\nWe can see that NetEase does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of NetEase, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too.\nNasdaqGS:NTES Earnings and Revenue Growth February 22nd 2021\nWe note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in NetEase. With a 42% stake, CEO Lei Ding is the largest shareholder. For context, the second largest shareholder holds about 3.6% of the shares outstanding, followed by an ownership of 3.2% by the third-largest shareholder.\nOn looking further, we found that 52% of the shares are owned by the top 4 shareholders. In other words, these shareholders have a meaningful say in the decisions of the company.\nWhile studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. Quite a few analysts cover the stock, so you could look into forecast growth quite easily.\nInsider Ownership Of NetEase\nWhile the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.\nI generally consider insider ownership to be a good thing. However, on some occasions it makes it more difficult for other shareholders to hold the board accountable for decisions.\nOur most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of NetEase, Inc.. It has a market capitalization of just US$86b, and insiders have US$36b worth of shares in their own names. That's quite significant. Most would be pleased to see the board is investing alongside them. You may wish to access this free chart showing recent trading by insiders.\nGeneral Public Ownership\nThe general public holds a 17% stake in NetEase. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"09999":0.9,"NTES":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":372,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":363731234,"gmtCreate":1614171510328,"gmtModify":1634550894657,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice

Why Tech Analysts Might Be Too Excited.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1165777611","media":"Barrons","summary":"Implications of Apple’s entry into the car business continues to generate muchspeculationand manyana","content":"<p>Implications of Apple’s entry into the car business continues to generate muchspeculationand manyanalyst reportsfrom various stockbrokerage firms. Piper Sandler weighed into the debate Wednesday, saying an Apple car makes perfect sense. Investors, however, should remember that producing an automobile is very, very different from making a smartphone.</p>\n<p>Piper tech analystHarsh Kumarsays the timing is right for an&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;(ticker: AAPL) car. “The company can enter the market at a time of peak technology disruption while avoiding the risk of forming the market,” wrote the analyst in a Wednesday research report. Electric vehicles are proliferating, and autonomous driving technology is advancing. Cars will drive and feel different in the future—an Apple car would likely be an all-electric vehicle with self-driving options.</p>\n<p>Apple has so far declined to comment about any car plans recently.</p>\n<p>Kumar covers Apple and other technology stocks. His 23-page report dives deep into the auto business—for tech investors. Industry size and market segmentation between, say, luxury cars and economy sedans, covered in his report, are par for the course in auto research.</p>\n<p>He assumes Apple, down the road, will sell 100,000 cars in year one. That might be aggressive.NIO(NIO),Li Auto(LI), andXPeng(XPEV) are threeEV startupsthat have been in business for years. They managed to sell about 100,000 vehicles on a combined basis in 2020. Kumar thinks Apple can be delivering 1 million cars by 2030.</p>\n<p>For tech analysts at this point, the Apple car appears to be an exercise in fun with numbers. They are attracted to the huge market size: New car sales top $2.5 trillion annually. But auto analysts’ enthusiasm for an Apple vehicle is more tempered, and perhaps for good reason.</p>\n<p>One factor that might hamper Apple’s ambitions is that cars are, of course, significantly more expensive than phones, making the purchase decision very different. In addition, “the regulatory side of the auto business is brutal and takes years to get through,” Benchmark auto analystMike Wardtells<i>Barron’s</i>.</p>\n<p>Ward says he isn’t hearing Apple buzz in the auto industry. It’s “pretty tough to keep that quiet in the auto industry—thousands of suppliers, [government] approvals, the size of the factory needed, etc.” He isn’t saying it can’t happen, but it is harder than many investors might expect.</p>\n<p>Morgan Stanley analystAdam Jonasalso covers cars mainly. He doesn’t appear certain an Apple car is on the way, but if one does show up, “don’t expect steering wheels.” That means full self-driving, which also means the Apple car is still years away.</p>\n<p>He believes an Apple car can accelerate EV penetration. That could help existing auto makers with more progressive approaches to the EV market. But higher penetration isn’t a panacea for the car business. “At some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox,” wrote the analyst in a recent report.</p>\n<p>That threat isn’t affecting his ratings on competitors yet. He rate Tesla stock Buy and callsGeneral Motors(GM) a top pick.</p>\n<p>J.P. Morgan‘s tech and car teams produced a joint report recently, and they don’t see an Apple car coming soon. They agreed if an Apple car is on the way, it will be delayed until full self-driving capability is more widely available.Robotaxi services, which can handle city driving, are planned in the next couple of years. But full self-driving capabilities are farther away—the cost of sensors needs to fall, and the software still needs to improve.</p>\n<p>The firm’s U.S. auto analystRyan Brinkmanadded that a new competitor the size and strength of Apple is a negative for existing auto makers, but, like Ward, he hasn’t heard about any collaboration in the auto-supply base.</p>\n<p>Another thing J.P. Morgan agrees on is outsourced manufacturing, meaning that Apple isn’t likely to assemble its car. That creates an opportunity for some existing car marker to build more volume.

Piper Sandler weighed into the debate Wednesday, saying an Apple car makes perfect sense. Investors, however, should remember that producing an automobile is very, very different from making a smartphone.\nPiper tech analystHarsh Kumarsays the timing is right for an Apple (ticker: AAPL) car. “The company can enter the market at a time of peak technology disruption while avoiding the risk of forming the market,” wrote the analyst in a Wednesday research report. Electric vehicles are proliferating, and autonomous driving technology is advancing. Cars will drive and feel different in the future—an Apple car would likely be an all-electric vehicle with self-driving options.\nApple has so far declined to comment about any car plans recently.\nKumar covers Apple and other technology stocks. His 23-page report dives deep into the auto business—for tech investors. Industry size and market segmentation between, say, luxury cars and economy sedans, covered in his report, are par for the course in auto research.\nHe assumes Apple, down the road, will sell 100,000 cars in year one. That might be aggressive.NIO(NIO),Li Auto(LI), andXPeng(XPEV) are threeEV startupsthat have been in business for years. They managed to sell about 100,000 vehicles on a combined basis in 2020. Kumar thinks Apple can be delivering 1 million cars by 2030.\nFor tech analysts at this point, the Apple car appears to be an exercise in fun with numbers. They are attracted to the huge market size: New car sales top $2.5 trillion annually. But auto analysts’ enthusiasm for an Apple vehicle is more tempered, and perhaps for good reason.\nOne factor that might hamper Apple’s ambitions is that cars are, of course, significantly more expensive than phones, making the purchase decision very different. In addition, “the regulatory side of the auto business is brutal and takes years to get through,” Benchmark auto analystMike WardtellsBarron’s.\nWard says he isn’t hearing Apple buzz in the auto industry. It’s “pretty tough to keep that quiet in the auto industry—thousands of suppliers, [government] approvals, the size of the factory needed, etc.” He isn’t saying it can’t happen, but it is harder than many investors might expect.\nMorgan Stanley analystAdam Jonasalso covers cars mainly. He doesn’t appear certain an Apple car is on the way, but if one does show up, “don’t expect steering wheels.” That means full self-driving, which also means the Apple car is still years away.\nHe believes an Apple car can accelerate EV penetration. That could help existing auto makers with more progressive approaches to the EV market. But higher penetration isn’t a panacea for the car business. “At some point, today’s EV players must share the sandbox,” wrote the analyst in a recent report.\nThat threat isn’t affecting his ratings on competitors yet. He rate Tesla stock Buy and callsGeneral Motors(GM) a top pick.\nJ.P. Morgan‘s tech and car teams produced a joint report recently, and they don’t see an Apple car coming soon. They agreed if an Apple car is on the way, it will be delayed until full self-driving capability is more widely available.Robotaxi services, which can handle city driving, are planned in the next couple of years. But full self-driving capabilities are farther away—the cost of sensors needs to fall, and the software still needs to improve.\nThe firm’s U.S. auto analystRyan Brinkmanadded that a new competitor the size and strength of Apple is a negative for existing auto makers, but, like Ward, he hasn’t heard about any collaboration in the auto-supply base.\nAnother thing J.P. Morgan agrees on is outsourced manufacturing, meaning that Apple isn’t likely to assemble its car. That creates an opportunity for some existing car marker to build more volume. What company would win, however, isanyone’s guess.\nWedbush analystDan Ives, who covers disruptive technology, which includes Apple and EV makerTesla(TSLA), is placing his bets onVolkswagen(VOW.Germany). “We assign a 85%-plus chance that Apple will announce an EV partnership/collaboration over the next 3 to 6 months,” wrote Ives in a recent report. “We continue to strongly believe that VW is a top candidate for an Apple EV partnership/JV given the company’s modular factory footprint as well as the keyQuantumScapeownership.”\nQuantumScape (QS) is pioneering solid-state lithium anode batteries that promise to improve electric-vehicle range and safety, while lowering costs and charge time.\nApple car hopes aren’t affecting investors much yet. Since new reports of a possible Apple car surfaced in December, GM and Tesla shares are up about 26% and 10%, respectively. TheS&P 500andDow Jones Industrial Average,for comparison, are up about 5% and 4%, respectively. Apple shares are down about 6%.\nInvestors, it appears, have other more pressing issues on their minds.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":458,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":387824899,"gmtCreate":1613738917311,"gmtModify":1631883806025,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\">$Unity Software Inc.(U)$</a>&nbsp;FLY PLS&nbsp;","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/U\">$Unity Software Inc.(U)$</a>&nbsp;FLY PLS&nbsp;","text":"$Unity Software Inc.(U)$ FLY PLS","images":[{"img":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b11766311af5f7ca9ee26eb91bf5e2db","width":"1080","height":"1920"}],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/387824899","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":403,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":1,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":384110083,"gmtCreate":1613624197642,"gmtModify":1634552892249,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Swee","listText":"Swee","text":"Swee","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/384110083","repostId":"1107316077","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":146,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":384134977,"gmtCreate":1613624027999,"gmtModify":1634552893295,"author":{"id":"3569281466243183","authorId":"3569281466243183","name":"xjxjxj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3fda36dbe534d19914e7107db005a4dc","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3569281466243183","authorIdStr":"3569281466243183"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/384134977","repostId":"1171074253","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1171074253","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1613619873,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1171074253?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-18 11:44","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Stocks To Watch: Square Among 7 Stocks Expecting Up To 128% Growth In 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1171074253","media":"Investors","summary":"With 2020 behind us, here's a look at the fastest-growing stocks to watch in 2021.

And thanks to a lack of entertainment options outside the home in 2020, gaming sales worldwide surged 20% to a staggering&nbsp;$180 billion.</p>\n<p>In fact, gaming is so popular and lucrative that professional esports now has an audience of about 500 million people worldwide — with a 70% increase in the number of viewers in the U.S. last year because of the pandemic and the lack of traditional spectator sports options. And as with so many other tech trends, these recent converts are likely to stick and continue powering the esports business. Here’s one way to put it in context: esports are expected to have almost&nbsp;800 million&nbsp;viewers by 2024 – nearly as many as about 825 million or so fans of professional basketball worldwide today.</p>\n<p>Some of the biggest publicly traded videogame stocks are already old news. Over the last 10 years, gaming powerhouse Activision Blizzard&nbsp;has surged about 800% compared with about 200% for the S&amp;P 500 index&nbsp;in the same period, growing to almost $80 billion in market value. And of course there has been the frenzy over GameStock&nbsp;that led toa congressional hearing.</p>\n<p>But there are a host of up-and-coming companies looking to level up amid continued growth for the industry. If you’re looking to play the gaming and esports craze, here are some options worth a look:</p>\n<p><b>Nintendo</b></p>\n<p>Nintendo&nbsp;is an icon of the videogame industry. But just five years ago there was talk of “Nintendo’s Sad Struggle for Survival” amid waning popularity and weakening finances.</p>\n<p>The house of Mario has come back big time, thanks to its innovative Switch console that successfully bridged console and mobile gaming markets. Nintendo’s eShop is now bursting with “casual” games like the smash hit “Among Us,” which was originally built for mobile phones and boasted&nbsp;half a billion players&nbsp;in November. While there are big margins on $70 games or high-end hardware, Nintendo has built both its user base and its software offerings around low-cost diversions that collectively add up to serious revenue.</p>\n<p>At the same time, a strange convergence of circumstances have created big tailwinds for Nintendo’s high-end titles. Since its prior console — the Wii U — was a bit of a flop, Nintendo was able to reissue many native games with big price tags during the Switch’s early years. Now the company has planned releases in both its Zelda and Metroid franchises along with a potential upgrade to the Switch itself to drive high-margin hardware sales.</p>\n<p>Thanks to these facts and a big pandemic boost, Nintendo stock has doubled from its early 2019 levels and is now trading at its highest levels since 2007. And if the&nbsp;2021 release schedule&nbsp;lives up to the hype, we could see new all-time highs as this Japanese gaming powerhouse continues its return to dominance in the industry.</p>\n<p><b>Corsair</b></p>\n<p>If Nintendo has cashed in by connecting with more casual gamers, then Corsair Gaming&nbsp;shows how to cater to very serious PC gamers. This roughly $4 billion company is a top supplier of gaming-related parts from CPUs to peripherals like headsets and keyboards to specialty components for streaming gameplay on the internet. The streaming business line is particularly interesting, both via competitive esports play as well as commercial gamers looking to win viewers on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.</p>\n<p>The company completed its initial public offering in September and is soundly profitable. It’s also growing impressively, with its&nbsp;fourth-quarter earnings report&nbsp;in February showing a staggering 70% revenue growth and 118% profit growth year-over-year. Management has said this is thanks to expansion in all categories, too, and not just one item that’s hot at the moment.</p>\n<p>We’ve seen the power of high-end hardware stocks before with companies like the Nvidia,which is up fourfold from the end of 2018 thanks in part to its best-in-class graphics cards and now worth $370 billion. But what makes Corsair so great is that it’s not a competitor to Nvidia; in fact, when folks look to build a new gaming rig to incorporate components like the Nvidia GeForce 4k graphics card that was recently released, they are likely to upgrade everything else, too.</p>\n<p>That could allow Corsair to piggyback this trend in the short term and continue to build on its track record of success.</p>\n<p><b>Sea</b></p>\n<p>Singapore-based Sea&nbsp;isn’t well known in the West, but that may change quickly given its 2020 stock performance. Over the last 12 months, the stock has surged roughly 420% thanks to amazing growth and big tailwinds behind its unique technology business.</p>\n<p>That business involves a dominant gaming catalog offered under Sea’s&nbsp;Garena&nbsp;brand, led by multiplayer online battle arena&nbsp;(MOBA)&nbsp;games like League of Legends. Not only are the games themselves popular, but related MOBA esports broadcasts are big business, too. Consider that the 2020 League of Legends championship tallied&nbsp;139 million total hours&nbsp;of viewership with peak viewership of 3.8 million people watching at once.</p>\n<p>While League of Legends is admittedly one of the more mature franchises in Sea’s arsenal, the company certainly isn’t a one-trick pony. Its mobile-friendly MOBA title Free Fire was the most-downloaded game in the Google Play store in 2019 and just hit&nbsp;80 million&nbsp;daily users at the end of last year.</p>\n<p>And it doesn’t stop with just these games. This unique tech stock has divisions that focus on live streaming and social features for gamers, such as user chat and online forums, and a mobile-centric e-commerce marketplace to help with seller services like shipping and logistics.</p>\n<p>That adds up to a company that is uniquely positioned to capitalize on many parts of the gaming ecosystem, making Sea a very attractive option for those looking to tap into the full potential of this lucrative industry.</p>\n<p><b>Immersion</b></p>\n<p>The smallest and most aggressive play on this list is Immersion,a $350 million stock that is involved with “haptics.” This is the fancy technical term for motion and touch controls that use real-world feedback to allow users to interact with a computer or game console.</p>\n<p>The stock has surged about 50% in the last year in part because of a lucrative deal with Sony&nbsp;to produce components for its DualSense controllers that ship with the PlayStation 5. But the company’s long-term potential is bigger than one console, as the Nintendo witch and Xbox from Microsoft&nbsp;also use motion controls. Furthermore, there’s tremendous potential in the nascent VR market, too.</p>\n<p>There’s risk here, of course, since haptics technology has become standard fare for gamers only fairly recently and tons of companies are researching new solutions and forging relationships with the bigger names in the space.</p>\n<p>Immersion is certainly not alone in this gold rush, but its track record is impressive. Thanks in part to its relationship with Sony, the stock swung from a modest loss to significant profits in 2020 — and based on FY2021 forecasts, earnings per share are set to double going forward as revenue jumps 20%. That could give investors a degree of confidence in the long-term potential of this stock.</p>\n<p><b>Videogame ETFs</b></p>\n<p>If you are interested in simply playing the broader trend of gaming and esports without jumping into individual hardware or software names, the best way to do that is via an exchange-traded fund. Three ETFs offer investors a tactical but diversified investment on this industry.</p>\n<p>The VanEck Vectors videogaming and eSports ETF&nbsp;is a well-established fund with more than $900 million in assets. For just 0.55% in annual expenses, or $55 a year on every $10,000 invested, you get a global play on this megatrend.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately, if you’re looking for diversification, the list of components is a bit lacking, with only 25 stocks right now. However, you’ll get the big names in the space including Nintendo and Sea along with Chinese giant Tencent Holdings.</p>\n<p>An alternative is the Global X videogames &amp; Esports ETF,which also has about $900 million in assets. It charges a slightly lower expense ratio of 0.50% annually and has just over 40 holdings at present. The makeup is similar to the VanEck ETF, but the longer list means U.S. stocks feature less prominently and only make up about 29% of the portfolio.</p>\n<p>Smallest in terms of assets is the Wedbush ETFMG videogame Tech ETF.This fund only has a bit more than $100 million in assets under management and charges the highest fees at 0.75% in expenses. However, with 91 holdings it has the deepest bench of the three — with many Asia components that are difficult for U.S. individual investors to buy as individual stocks.</p>\n<p>The strategies differ slightly, but one thing has been true for all of these funds lately: Big profits for investors. All three have delivered north of 90% gains over the last 12 months, showing they all could offer profitable ways to play the uptrend in videogaming.</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>7 smarter ways to play the boom in videogames and esports than buying GameStop</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\">\n7 smarter ways to play the boom in videogames and esports than buying GameStop\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-02-25 17:52 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.marketwatch.com/story/these-4-stocks-and-3-etfs-let-you-cash-in-on-the-boom-in-videogames-and-esports-11614092613?mod=home-page><strong>MarketWatch</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Look beyond Activision Blizzard and Nvidia\nGameStop grabbed headlines based on the notion that the “smart money” simply didn’t understand this stock.
