Businesses with a terrible culture have a potentially unsustainable business model. Businesses with a thriving culture have employees who are happy to come to work and pour themselves into the job.</p>\n<p>In <i>The Motley Fool Investment Guide</i>, Motley Fool CEO Tom Gardner provides some of the tools he uses to gauge a company's culture. Foremost among them are <i>Fortune</i>'s annual \"Best Companies to Work For\" list and Glassdoor.com's \"Best Places to Work.\"&nbsp;Let's take a look at the only two financial services companies to make both lists --&nbsp;<b>American <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/EXPR\">Express</a></b> (NYSE:AXP) and <b>Capital One Financial</b> (NYSE:COF)&nbsp;-- to decide whether the companies are a good buy now for long-term investors.<img src=\"https://g.foolcdn.com/image/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Feditorial%2Fimages%2F631438%2Femployee-culture-american-express-capital-one-financial.jpg&amp;w=700&amp;op=resize\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\">Source: Getty Images</p>\n<h2>Capital One Financial</h2>\n<p>Capital One is ranked 9th on the <i>Fortune</i> list and 88th on the Glassdoor list. The pandemic stressed all kinds of businesses last year, but having a strong culture that could nimbly respond to changing circumstances helped keep businesses going when trouble hit.&nbsp; According to <i>Fortune</i>, \"Capital One, like other banks, implemented safety measures, but the firm also temporarily increased hourly wages, boosting pay by $10 an hour for branch and Capital One Café employees and adding $5 an hour for call center agents\" during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>On Glassdoor, the bank averaged a 4.2-star rating over more than 10,000 reviews. Capital One's CEO, Richard Fairbank, also ranked on Glassdoor's top CEOs list, coming in at 38th with a 95% approval rating. Fairbank owns over $500 million in Capital One stock, showing he's personally invested in the company's success and aligned with shareholders' interests.</p>\n<p>The bank moved up 15 spots on the <i>Fortune</i> list compared to last year, and employees certainly seem to approve of the culture and management team. But how did it perform financially?</p>\n<p>Capital One is known for its credit card business, which accounted for $17.6 billion of the company's $28.5 billion of gross revenue in 2020. Slowing consumer spending and uncertainty about potential loan losses hit the business hard in the first half of 2020, with total provisions for loan losses up $6.6 billion over that period. The company posted losses in the first two quarters and cut the dividend from $0.40 to $0.10 per quarter after the Federal Reserve limited dividend payouts.</p>\n<p>Summer stimulus helped juice the credit card business over the second half of the year and, in the end, 2020 revenue was down just 5% from 2019. Pre-provision earnings for the full year actually ended up increasing 3% over 2019, and Capital One released $593 million from its loan loss account.</p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2021, the stock is up close to 60% year to date, the dividend is back to $0.40, and the company has bought back $490 million (out of $7.5 billion authorized) of stock. Meanwhile, its price-to-earnings ratio is just over 15, and its price-to-book is 1.13 -- both right around the industry average, and a bargain price for a quality business with a thriving culture.</p>\n<h2>American Express</h2>\n<p>American Express came in at 10th on the Fortune list and 67th on the Glassdoor list (if these Glassdoor rankings seem low, remember Glassdoor's database contains thousands of companies). <i>Fortune</i> wrote that the company \"made a commitment to not lay off a single employee owing to the pandemic in 2020 -- a pledge the company proudly says it upheld. AmEx provided workers impacted by COVID-19 with financial security at an uncertain time; it guaranteed full pay to those who couldn't work.\"</p>\n<p>Out of 11,000 reviews, American Express's Glassdoor average rating is 4.3 stars. CEO Stephen Squeri has a 95% approval rating. He took the job just over three years ago, but he's been in the company's senior management team as vice chairman or group president since 2005.&nbsp;. Prior to the pandemic, AmEx was chugging along returns-wise&nbsp; with Squeri at the helm, and it has been in the top 25 of Fortune's list each year of his tenure, spending the last two years in the top 10.</p>\n<p>American Express's business took the same sort of hit that Capital One's did over the first half of 2020. At the end of Q2, worldwide billed business was down 33% from 2019 and the company had increased loan loss reserves by $2.3 billion. AmEx's woes weren't fixed by a good summer, however. Total revenue for the year, net of interest expense, fell 19% from 2020, and net income of $3.14 billion plunged an even steeper 54%.</p>\n<p>American Express took a bigger full-year hit than other credit card providers because it caters to a wealthier clientele focused on travel and entertainment. The most popular partners for AmEx cards are airlines and hotel companies. Additionally, American Express provides the financing for card users from its own balance sheet, rather than passing that risk on to partner banks, so it had to write down over $4 billion in 2020 in provisions for credit losses.</p>\n<p>Despite the poor net income performance, American Express almost recovered to its peak pre-COVID stock price in 2020.

Businesses with a terrible culture have a potentially unsustainable business model. Businesses with a thriving culture have employees who are happy to come to work and pour themselves into the job.\nIn The Motley Fool Investment Guide, Motley Fool CEO Tom Gardner provides some of the tools he uses to gauge a company's culture. Foremost among them are Fortune's annual \"Best Companies to Work For\" list and Glassdoor.com's \"Best Places to Work.\" Let's take a look at the only two financial services companies to make both lists -- American Express (NYSE:AXP) and Capital One Financial (NYSE:COF) -- to decide whether the companies are a good buy now for long-term investors.Source: Getty Images\nCapital One Financial\nCapital One is ranked 9th on the Fortune list and 88th on the Glassdoor list. The pandemic stressed all kinds of businesses last year, but having a strong culture that could nimbly respond to changing circumstances helped keep businesses going when trouble hit.  According to Fortune, \"Capital One, like other banks, implemented safety measures, but the firm also temporarily increased hourly wages, boosting pay by $10 an hour for branch and Capital One Café employees and adding $5 an hour for call center agents\" during the pandemic.\nOn Glassdoor, the bank averaged a 4.2-star rating over more than 10,000 reviews. Capital One's CEO, Richard Fairbank, also ranked on Glassdoor's top CEOs list, coming in at 38th with a 95% approval rating. Fairbank owns over $500 million in Capital One stock, showing he's personally invested in the company's success and aligned with shareholders' interests.\nThe bank moved up 15 spots on the Fortune list compared to last year, and employees certainly seem to approve of the culture and management team. But how did it perform financially?\nCapital One is known for its credit card business, which accounted for $17.6 billion of the company's $28.5 billion of gross revenue in 2020. Slowing consumer spending and uncertainty about potential loan losses hit the business hard in the first half of 2020, with total provisions for loan losses up $6.6 billion over that period. The company posted losses in the first two quarters and cut the dividend from $0.40 to $0.10 per quarter after the Federal Reserve limited dividend payouts.\nSummer stimulus helped juice the credit card business over the second half of the year and, in the end, 2020 revenue was down just 5% from 2019. Pre-provision earnings for the full year actually ended up increasing 3% over 2019, and Capital One released $593 million from its loan loss account.\nFast forward to 2021, the stock is up close to 60% year to date, the dividend is back to $0.40, and the company has bought back $490 million (out of $7.5 billion authorized) of stock. Meanwhile, its price-to-earnings ratio is just over 15, and its price-to-book is 1.13 -- both right around the industry average, and a bargain price for a quality business with a thriving culture.\nAmerican Express\nAmerican Express came in at 10th on the Fortune list and 67th on the Glassdoor list (if these Glassdoor rankings seem low, remember Glassdoor's database contains thousands of companies). Fortune wrote that the company \"made a commitment to not lay off a single employee owing to the pandemic in 2020 -- a pledge the company proudly says it upheld. AmEx provided workers impacted by COVID-19 with financial security at an uncertain time; it guaranteed full pay to those who couldn't work.\"\nOut of 11,000 reviews, American Express's Glassdoor average rating is 4.3 stars. CEO Stephen Squeri has a 95% approval rating. He took the job just over three years ago, but he's been in the company's senior management team as vice chairman or group president since 2005. . Prior to the pandemic, AmEx was chugging along returns-wise  with Squeri at the helm, and it has been in the top 25 of Fortune's list each year of his tenure, spending the last two years in the top 10.\nAmerican Express's business took the same sort of hit that Capital One's did over the first half of 2020. At the end of Q2, worldwide billed business was down 33% from 2019 and the company had increased loan loss reserves by $2.3 billion. AmEx's woes weren't fixed by a good summer, however. Total revenue for the year, net of interest expense, fell 19% from 2020, and net income of $3.14 billion plunged an even steeper 54%.\nAmerican Express took a bigger full-year hit than other credit card providers because it caters to a wealthier clientele focused on travel and entertainment. The most popular partners for AmEx cards are airlines and hotel companies. Additionally, American Express provides the financing for card users from its own balance sheet, rather than passing that risk on to partner banks, so it had to write down over $4 billion in 2020 in provisions for credit losses.\nDespite the poor net income performance, American Express almost recovered to its peak pre-COVID stock price in 2020. It has since reached new highs amid $1 billion in reserve releases and an 11% increase in card member spending on things other than travel or entertainment in Q1.Management expects 2021 EPS to reach the goals it originally set for 2020, and for growth to take off from there.\nThe company now trades at a healthy forward P/E of 24.57 and a price-to-book ratio of 5.20. It isn't the same type of value stock that Capital One is, but investors should expect a more stable long-term recovery from the company.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AXP":0.9,"COF":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":633,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152674092,"gmtCreate":1625292214616,"gmtModify":1633941658966,"author":{"id":"3581653576507809","authorId":"3581653576507809","name":"CLew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d41c0d9a950d827fc6ba2cea7497a25d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581653576507809","authorIdStr":"3581653576507809"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good Mrn To All.

That much is true.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately pretty much everything else about inflation—a red hot topic these days—is conjecture. And that’s vexing, not just for the dismal scientists (aka economists), but for all of us, because whether or not prices are really rising, by how much and for how long, has massive implications in our lives. Or as Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says: “Inflation is one of the mysteries of economic study and thought. A difficult thing to gauge and forecast and get right. That’s why the risks are high.”</p>\n<p>The current debate over inflation really revolves around two questions: First, is this current spate of inflation, just that, a spate—or to use Wall Street’s buzzword of the moment, “transitory,”—or not? (Just to give you an idea of how buzzy, when I Google the word “transitory” the search engine suggests “inflation” after it.) And second, transitory (aka temporary) inflation or not, what does it suggest for the economy and markets?</p>\n<p>Before I get into that, let me lay out what’s going on with prices right now. First, know that inflation,which peaked in 1980 at an annualized rate of 13.55%,has been tame for quite some time, specifically 4% or less for nearly 30 years. Which means that anyone 40 years old or younger has no experience with inflation other than maybe from an Econ 101 textbook. Obviously that could be a problem.</p>\n<p>As an aside I remember President Ford in 1974 trying to jawbone inflation down with his \"Whip Inflation Now\" campaign, which featured“Win” buttons,earringsand evenugly sweaters.None of this worked and it took draconian measures by Fed Chair Paul Volcker (raising rates and targeting money supply,as described by Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, William Poole)to eventually tame inflation and keep it under wraps for all those years.</p>\n<p>Until now perhaps. Last week theLabor Department reported that consumer prices (the CPI, or consumer price index) rose 5% in May,the fastest annual rate in nearly 13 years—which was when the economy was overheating from the housing boom which subsequently went bust and sent the economy off a cliff and into the Great Recession. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 3.8%, the biggest increase since May 1992. (For the record, the likelihood of the economy tanking right now is de minimis.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87f75dfcb98fb5a0e7c3f9d3f8d336e2\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"412\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Used car and truck prices are a major driver of inflation, climbing 7.3% last month and 29.7% over the past year. New car prices are up too, which have pushed upshares of Ford and GM a remarkable 40% plus this year.Clearly Americans want to buy vehicles to go on vacation and get back to work. And Yahoo Finance’sJanna Herron reportsthat rents are rising at their fastest pace in 15 years.</p>\n<p>To be sure, not all prices are climbing.As Yahoo Finance’s Rick Newman points out,prices are not up much at all for health care, education and are basically flat for technology, including computers, smartphones and internet service (an important point which we’ll get back to.)</p>\n<p>But that’s the counterpoint really. Americans are obsessed with cars, housing is critical and many of us are experiencing sticker shock booking travel this summer. Higher prices are front and center. Wall Street too is in a tizzy about inflation, and concerns about it and more importantly Federal Reserve policy in response to inflation (see below), sent stocks lower with the S&amp;P 500 down 1.91% this week, its worst week since February.</p>\n<p>Given this backdrop, the tension (such as it is) was high when the Fed met this week to deliver its forecast and for Chair Jay Powell to answer questions from the media. Or at least so said hedge fund honcho Paul Tudor Jones,who characterized the proceedings on CNBCas “the most important meeting in [Chairman] Jay Powell’s career, certainly the most important Fed meeting of the past four or five years.” Jones was critical of the Fed, which he believes is now stimulating the economy unnecessarily by keeping interest rates low and by buying financial assets. Unnecessarily, Jones says, because the economy is already running hot and needs no support. The Fed (which is in the transitory camp when it comes to inflation) risks overheating the economy by creating runaway inflation, according to PTJ.</p>\n<p>Now I don’t see eye to eye with Jones on this, though I should point out, he's a billionaire from investing in financial markets, and let’s just say I’m not. I should also point out that Jones, 66, is in fact old enough to remember inflation, never mind that as a young man he called the 1987 stock market crash. So we should all ignore Jones at our peril.</p>\n<p>As for what the Fed put forth this past Wednesday, well it wasn’t much, signaling an expectation ofraising interest rates twice by the end of 2023(yes, that is down the road.) And Powell, who’s become much more adept at not rippling the waters these days after some rougher forays earlier in his tenure, didn’t drop any bombshells in the presser.</p>\n<p>Which brings us to the question of why the Federal Reserve isn’t so concerned about inflation and thinks it is mostly—here’s that word again—transitory. To answer that, we need to first address why prices are rising right now, which can be summed up in one very familiar abbreviation: COVID-19. When COVID hit last spring the economy collapsed, which crushed demand in sectors like leisure, travel and retail. Now the economy is roaring back to life and businesses can raise prices, certainly over 2020 levels.</p>\n<p>“We clearly should’ve expected it,” says William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO and a professor of economics at Howard University. “You can’t shut down the economy and think you turn on the switch [without some inflation].”</p>\n<p>“We had a pandemic that forced an artificial shutdown of the economy in a way that even the collapse of the financial system and the housing market didn’t, and we had a snapback at a rate we’ve never seen before—not because of the fundamentals driving recovery but because of government,” says Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economics.</p>\n<p>COVID had other secondary effects on the economy though, besides just ultimately producing a snapback. For one thing, the pandemic throttled supply chains, specifically the shipping of parts and components from one part of the globe to another. It also confused managers about how much to produce and therefore how many parts to order.</p>\n<p>A prime example here is what happened to the chip (semiconductor) and auto industrieswhich I wrote about last month.Car makers thought no one would buy vehicles during the pandemic and pared back their orders with chipmakers, (which were having a tough time shipping their chips anyway.) Turned out the car guys were wrong, millions of people wanted cars and trucks, but the automakers didn’t have enough chips for their cars and had to curb production. Fewer vehicles and strong demand led to higher new car prices, which cascaded to used car prices then to car rental rates. Net net, all the friction and slowness of getting things delivered now adds to costs which causes companies to raise prices.</p>\n<p>Another secondary effect of COVID which has been inflationary comes from employment,which I got into a bit last week.We all know millions were thrown out of work by COVID last year, many of whom were backstopped by government payments that could add up to $600 a week (state and federal.) These folks have been none too keen on coming back to work for minimum wage, or $290 a week. So to lure them back employers are having to pay more, which puts more money in people's pockets which allows stores for example to raise prices.</p>\n<p><b>Anti-inflation forces</b></p>\n<p>But here’s the big-time question: If COVID was temporary, and therefore its effects are temporary and inflation is one of its effects then doesn’t it follow, ipso facto, that inflation is (OK I’ll say it again), transitory?</p>\n<p>I say yes, (with a bit of a caveat.) And most economists, like Claudia Sahm, a senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and a former Federal Reserve economist, agree. “‘Transitory’ has become a buzzword,” she says. “It is important to be more concrete about what we mean by that. We’re probably going to see in the next few months inflation numbers that are bigger than average, but as long as they keep stepping down, that’s the sign of it being transitory. If we didn’t see any sign of inflation stepping down some, it would’ve started feeling like ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”</p>\n<p>To buttress my argument beyond that above \"if-then\" syllogism, let’s take a look at why inflation has been so low for the past three decades.</p>\n<p>To me this is mostly obvious. Prices have been tamped down by the greatest anti-inflation force of our lifetime, that being technology, specifically the explosion of consumer technology. Think about it. The first wave of technology, a good example would be IBM mainframes, saved big companies money in back-office functions, savings which they mostly kept for themselves (higher profits) and their shareholders. But the four great landmark events in the advent of consumer technology; the introduction ofthe PC in 1974 (MITS Altair),the Netscape IPO of 1995,Google search in 1998,and the launch of theiPhone in 2007(I remember Steve Jobs demoing it to me like it was yesterday), greatly accelerated, broadened and deepened this deflationary trend.</p>\n<p>Not only has technology been pushing down the cost of everything from drilling for oil, to manufacturing clothes to farming, and allowing for the creation of groundbreaking (and deflationary) competitors like Uber, Airbnb and Netflix, but it also let consumers find—on their phones—the most affordable trip to Hawaii, the least expensive haircut or the best deal on Nikes.</p>\n<p>So technology has reduced the cost of almost everything and will continue to do so the rest of our lifetime. Bottom line: Unless something terrible happens, the power of technology will outweigh and outlive COVID.</p>\n<p>There is one mitigating factor and that is globalism, which is connected to both technology and COVID. Let me briefly explain.</p>\n<p>After World War II, most of humanity has become more and more connected in terms of trade, communication, travel, etc. (See supply chain above.) Technology of course was a major enabler here; better ships, planes and faster internet, all of which as it grew more potent, accelerated globalism. Another element was the introduction of political constructs like the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. (I think of the Clinton administration andChina joining the WTO in 2001as perhaps the high-water marks of globalization.)</p>\n<p>Like its technological cousin, globalism has deflationary effects particularly on the labor front as companies could more and more easily find lowest cost countries to produce goods and source materials. And like technology, globalization seemed inexorable, which it was, until it wasn’t. Political winds, manifested by the likes of Brexit and leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, Duterte and of course Donald Trump have caused globalism to wane and anti-globalism and nationalism to wax.</p>\n<p>The internet too, once seen as only a great connector, has also become a global divider, as the world increasingly fractures into Chinese, U.S. and European walled digital zones when it comes to social media and search for example. Security risks, privacy, spying and hacking of course divide us further here too.</p>\n<p>So technology, which had made globalism stronger and stronger, now also makes it weaker and weaker.</p>\n<p>COVID plays a role in rethinking globalism as it exposes vulnerabilities in the supply chain. Companies that were rethinking their manufacturing in China but considering another country, are now wondering if it just makes sense to repatriate the whole shebang. Supply chains that were optimized for cost only are being rethought with security and reliability being factored in and that costs money.</p>\n<p>How significant is this decline in globalization and how permanent is it? Good questions. But my point here is whether or not \"globalism disrupted\" is transitory (!) or not, it could push prices up, (in the short and intermediate run at least), as cost is sacrificed for predictability. Longer term I say Americans are a resourceful people. We’ll figure out how to make cost effective stuff in the U.S. It’s also likely that globalism will trend upward again, though perhaps not as unfettered as it once was.</p>\n<p>More downward pressure on pricing could come from shifts in employment practices. Mark Zandi points out that “the work-from-anywhere dynamic could depress wage growth and prices. If I don’t need to work in New York anymore and could live in Tampa, it stands to reason my wage could get cut or I won’t get the same wage increase in the future.”</p>\n<p>And so what is Zandi’s take on transitory? “What we’re observing now is prices going back to pre-pandemic,” he says. “The price spikes we’re experiencing now will continue for the next few months through summer but certainly by the end of year, this time next year, they will have disappeared. I do think underlying inflation will be higher post-pandemic than pre-pandemic, but that’s a feature not a bug.”</p>\n<p>I don’t disagree. To me it’s simple: The technology wave I’ve described above is bigger than COVID and bigger than the rise and fall of globalism. And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, I believe inflation will be transitory, certainly in the long run.

That much is true.\nUnfortunately pretty much everything else about inflation—a red hot topic these days—is conjecture. And that’s vexing, not just for the dismal scientists (aka economists), but for all of us, because whether or not prices are really rising, by how much and for how long, has massive implications in our lives. Or as Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, says: “Inflation is one of the mysteries of economic study and thought. A difficult thing to gauge and forecast and get right. That’s why the risks are high.”\nThe current debate over inflation really revolves around two questions: First, is this current spate of inflation, just that, a spate—or to use Wall Street’s buzzword of the moment, “transitory,”—or not? (Just to give you an idea of how buzzy, when I Google the word “transitory” the search engine suggests “inflation” after it.) And second, transitory (aka temporary) inflation or not, what does it suggest for the economy and markets?\nBefore I get into that, let me lay out what’s going on with prices right now. First, know that inflation,which peaked in 1980 at an annualized rate of 13.55%,has been tame for quite some time, specifically 4% or less for nearly 30 years. Which means that anyone 40 years old or younger has no experience with inflation other than maybe from an Econ 101 textbook. Obviously that could be a problem.\nAs an aside I remember President Ford in 1974 trying to jawbone inflation down with his \"Whip Inflation Now\" campaign, which featured“Win” buttons,earringsand evenugly sweaters.None of this worked and it took draconian measures by Fed Chair Paul Volcker (raising rates and targeting money supply,as described by Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, William Poole)to eventually tame inflation and keep it under wraps for all those years.\nUntil now perhaps. Last week theLabor Department reported that consumer prices (the CPI, or consumer price index) rose 5% in May,the fastest annual rate in nearly 13 years—which was when the economy was overheating from the housing boom which subsequently went bust and sent the economy off a cliff and into the Great Recession. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 3.8%, the biggest increase since May 1992. (For the record, the likelihood of the economy tanking right now is de minimis.)\n\nUsed car and truck prices are a major driver of inflation, climbing 7.3% last month and 29.7% over the past year. New car prices are up too, which have pushed upshares of Ford and GM a remarkable 40% plus this year.Clearly Americans want to buy vehicles to go on vacation and get back to work. And Yahoo Finance’sJanna Herron reportsthat rents are rising at their fastest pace in 15 years.\nTo be sure, not all prices are climbing.As Yahoo Finance’s Rick Newman points out,prices are not up much at all for health care, education and are basically flat for technology, including computers, smartphones and internet service (an important point which we’ll get back to.)\nBut that’s the counterpoint really. Americans are obsessed with cars, housing is critical and many of us are experiencing sticker shock booking travel this summer. Higher prices are front and center. Wall Street too is in a tizzy about inflation, and concerns about it and more importantly Federal Reserve policy in response to inflation (see below), sent stocks lower with the S&P 500 down 1.91% this week, its worst week since February.\nGiven this backdrop, the tension (such as it is) was high when the Fed met this week to deliver its forecast and for Chair Jay Powell to answer questions from the media. Or at least so said hedge fund honcho Paul Tudor Jones,who characterized the proceedings on CNBCas “the most important meeting in [Chairman] Jay Powell’s career, certainly the most important Fed meeting of the past four or five years.” Jones was critical of the Fed, which he believes is now stimulating the economy unnecessarily by keeping interest rates low and by buying financial assets. Unnecessarily, Jones says, because the economy is already running hot and needs no support. The Fed (which is in the transitory camp when it comes to inflation) risks overheating the economy by creating runaway inflation, according to PTJ.\nNow I don’t see eye to eye with Jones on this, though I should point out, he's a billionaire from investing in financial markets, and let’s just say I’m not. I should also point out that Jones, 66, is in fact old enough to remember inflation, never mind that as a young man he called the 1987 stock market crash. So we should all ignore Jones at our peril.\nAs for what the Fed put forth this past Wednesday, well it wasn’t much, signaling an expectation ofraising interest rates twice by the end of 2023(yes, that is down the road.) And Powell, who’s become much more adept at not rippling the waters these days after some rougher forays earlier in his tenure, didn’t drop any bombshells in the presser.\nWhich brings us to the question of why the Federal Reserve isn’t so concerned about inflation and thinks it is mostly—here’s that word again—transitory. To answer that, we need to first address why prices are rising right now, which can be summed up in one very familiar abbreviation: COVID-19. When COVID hit last spring the economy collapsed, which crushed demand in sectors like leisure, travel and retail. Now the economy is roaring back to life and businesses can raise prices, certainly over 2020 levels.\n“We clearly should’ve expected it,” says William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO and a professor of economics at Howard University. “You can’t shut down the economy and think you turn on the switch [without some inflation].”\n“We had a pandemic that forced an artificial shutdown of the economy in a way that even the collapse of the financial system and the housing market didn’t, and we had a snapback at a rate we’ve never seen before—not because of the fundamentals driving recovery but because of government,” says Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economics.\nCOVID had other secondary effects on the economy though, besides just ultimately producing a snapback. For one thing, the pandemic throttled supply chains, specifically the shipping of parts and components from one part of the globe to another. It also confused managers about how much to produce and therefore how many parts to order.\nA prime example here is what happened to the chip (semiconductor) and auto industrieswhich I wrote about last month.Car makers thought no one would buy vehicles during the pandemic and pared back their orders with chipmakers, (which were having a tough time shipping their chips anyway.) Turned out the car guys were wrong, millions of people wanted cars and trucks, but the automakers didn’t have enough chips for their cars and had to curb production. Fewer vehicles and strong demand led to higher new car prices, which cascaded to used car prices then to car rental rates. Net net, all the friction and slowness of getting things delivered now adds to costs which causes companies to raise prices.\nAnother secondary effect of COVID which has been inflationary comes from employment,which I got into a bit last week.We all know millions were thrown out of work by COVID last year, many of whom were backstopped by government payments that could add up to $600 a week (state and federal.) These folks have been none too keen on coming back to work for minimum wage, or $290 a week. So to lure them back employers are having to pay more, which puts more money in people's pockets which allows stores for example to raise prices.\nAnti-inflation forces\nBut here’s the big-time question: If COVID was temporary, and therefore its effects are temporary and inflation is one of its effects then doesn’t it follow, ipso facto, that inflation is (OK I’ll say it again), transitory?\nI say yes, (with a bit of a caveat.) And most economists, like Claudia Sahm, a senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and a former Federal Reserve economist, agree. “‘Transitory’ has become a buzzword,” she says. “It is important to be more concrete about what we mean by that. We’re probably going to see in the next few months inflation numbers that are bigger than average, but as long as they keep stepping down, that’s the sign of it being transitory. If we didn’t see any sign of inflation stepping down some, it would’ve started feeling like ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”\nTo buttress my argument beyond that above \"if-then\" syllogism, let’s take a look at why inflation has been so low for the past three decades.\nTo me this is mostly obvious. Prices have been tamped down by the greatest anti-inflation force of our lifetime, that being technology, specifically the explosion of consumer technology. Think about it. The first wave of technology, a good example would be IBM mainframes, saved big companies money in back-office functions, savings which they mostly kept for themselves (higher profits) and their shareholders. But the four great landmark events in the advent of consumer technology; the introduction ofthe PC in 1974 (MITS Altair),the Netscape IPO of 1995,Google search in 1998,and the launch of theiPhone in 2007(I remember Steve Jobs demoing it to me like it was yesterday), greatly accelerated, broadened and deepened this deflationary trend.\nNot only has technology been pushing down the cost of everything from drilling for oil, to manufacturing clothes to farming, and allowing for the creation of groundbreaking (and deflationary) competitors like Uber, Airbnb and Netflix, but it also let consumers find—on their phones—the most affordable trip to Hawaii, the least expensive haircut or the best deal on Nikes.\nSo technology has reduced the cost of almost everything and will continue to do so the rest of our lifetime. Bottom line: Unless something terrible happens, the power of technology will outweigh and outlive COVID.\nThere is one mitigating factor and that is globalism, which is connected to both technology and COVID. Let me briefly explain.\nAfter World War II, most of humanity has become more and more connected in terms of trade, communication, travel, etc. (See supply chain above.) Technology of course was a major enabler here; better ships, planes and faster internet, all of which as it grew more potent, accelerated globalism. Another element was the introduction of political constructs like the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. (I think of the Clinton administration andChina joining the WTO in 2001as perhaps the high-water marks of globalization.)\nLike its technological cousin, globalism has deflationary effects particularly on the labor front as companies could more and more easily find lowest cost countries to produce goods and source materials. And like technology, globalization seemed inexorable, which it was, until it wasn’t. Political winds, manifested by the likes of Brexit and leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, Duterte and of course Donald Trump have caused globalism to wane and anti-globalism and nationalism to wax.\nThe internet too, once seen as only a great connector, has also become a global divider, as the world increasingly fractures into Chinese, U.S. and European walled digital zones when it comes to social media and search for example. Security risks, privacy, spying and hacking of course divide us further here too.\nSo technology, which had made globalism stronger and stronger, now also makes it weaker and weaker.\nCOVID plays a role in rethinking globalism as it exposes vulnerabilities in the supply chain. Companies that were rethinking their manufacturing in China but considering another country, are now wondering if it just makes sense to repatriate the whole shebang. Supply chains that were optimized for cost only are being rethought with security and reliability being factored in and that costs money.\nHow significant is this decline in globalization and how permanent is it? Good questions. But my point here is whether or not \"globalism disrupted\" is transitory (!) or not, it could push prices up, (in the short and intermediate run at least), as cost is sacrificed for predictability. Longer term I say Americans are a resourceful people. We’ll figure out how to make cost effective stuff in the U.S. It’s also likely that globalism will trend upward again, though perhaps not as unfettered as it once was.\nMore downward pressure on pricing could come from shifts in employment practices. Mark Zandi points out that “the work-from-anywhere dynamic could depress wage growth and prices. If I don’t need to work in New York anymore and could live in Tampa, it stands to reason my wage could get cut or I won’t get the same wage increase in the future.”\nAnd so what is Zandi’s take on transitory? “What we’re observing now is prices going back to pre-pandemic,” he says. “The price spikes we’re experiencing now will continue for the next few months through summer but certainly by the end of year, this time next year, they will have disappeared. I do think underlying inflation will be higher post-pandemic than pre-pandemic, but that’s a feature not a bug.”\nI don’t disagree. To me it’s simple: The technology wave I’ve described above is bigger than COVID and bigger than the rise and fall of globalism. And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, I believe inflation will be transitory, certainly in the long run.

Why did inflation chatter cause such a reaction? It’s not inflation per se that’s the worry. The possible raising of interest rates to combat inflation is the real concern.</p>\n<p>For now, the Federal Reserve is OK&nbsp;keeping rates at current levels. But, that may not be the case in 2022. So, why are possibly rising interest rates a concern for growth stocks? Simple: valuation. It’s easier to justify frothy multiples for growth stocks in a near-zero interest rate environment. Given that growth stocks are&nbsp;priced based on projected earnings down the road, rising rates further discount future cash flows, which affects present value.</p>\n<p>Yet, following the brief pullback, these fears started to cool. Admittedly, it’s too early to tell whether investors are correctly assessing the situation. As Lule Demmissie, president of Ally Invest, said in a statement provided to<i>InvestorPlace</i>, we won’t know if the inflation we’ve seen lately is “truly transitory until the end of summer.”</p>\n<p>That is, the jury’s still out whether the inflation we’ve seen in recent months is due to the U.S. economy entering recovery mode with the novel coronavirus pandemic. If inflation cools more, as things get back to the “old normal,” we may be in the clear. This could pave the way for growth stocks, hard hit as of late, rebounding, as investors rotate back into them.</p>\n<p>So, which growth stocks could rebound, if inflation worries further dissipate? These seven, still down from their highs, may be ones set to bounce back:</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Beyond Meat</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>BYND</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>DocuSign</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>DOCU</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Opendoor</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>OPEN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Penn National Gaming</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>PENN</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Shopify</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SHOP</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Skillz</b>(NYSE:<b><u>SKLZ</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Teladoc Health</b>(NYSE:<b><u>TDOC</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><b>Beyond Meat (BYND)</b></p>\n<p>Sure, with&nbsp;<b>Reddit</b>&nbsp;traders squeezing it, heavily shorted BYND stock made up for all of its May losses. After falling from around $135 per share, to briefly under $100 per share, it’s bounced back above where it was at the start of last month.</p>\n<p>But, this purveyor of plant-based “meat,” which has its share of skeptics, remains down substantially from the prices it fetched for back in February (around $175 per share). Now, not all of these losses are due to concerns about rising inflation and interest rates.</p>\n<p>Underwhelming sales numbers&nbsp;over the past few quarters&nbsp;cast doubt whether this growth story will live up to expectations. Analysts still estimate that revenue will increase&nbsp;more than 50% next year, as the shift to plant-based meat alternatives continues amid environmental and health concerns. If results start to meet (or even beat) projections, we could see more than just interest from meme stock speculators again in this once-hot stock.</p>\n<p>Yet, it may take more than blockbuster results to keep shares on an upward trajectory. It may take the lifting of fears that interest rates are set to rise sharply, before the markets again feel fine with giving this still-richly priced stock (Beyond Meat trades for around 10x estimated 2022 sales) an even higher forward multiple.</p>\n<p><b>DocuSign (DOCU)</b></p>\n<p>DocuSign is just one of many fast-growing tech names that crushed it stock price-wise last year and going into this year. Between pandemic tailwinds (like the shift to remote work), and near-zero interest rates, investors bid up the e-signature solutions provider to a valuation that gives it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the triple digits.</p>\n<p>Since the start of the rotation out of growth stocks, DOCU stock dropped more than 30% off its highs. Yet, shares aren’t exactly cheap, as they still sport a triple-digit forward P/E ratio (154.3x). Rising interest rates could result in further contraction. Even as earnings are expected to grow at a 40%+ annualized clip over the next two years.</p>\n<p>Right now, the 2020 top performer is holding steady at around $200 per share. If interest rates rise, we could see another dramatic drop. But, if inflation and interest rate fears cool, and it becomes clear the Fed won’t sharply shift from&nbsp;dovish&nbsp;to&nbsp;hawkish&nbsp;fiscal policy, coupled with&nbsp;continued better-than-expected results, we could see shares make a move back toward their past high water mark (around $290 per share).</p>\n<p>Some may be concerned that its underlying performance, boosted by last year’s stay-at-home environment may start to wane as we return to the “old normal.” But, with a more remote office environment&nbsp;likely here to stay, growth remains on the menu for Docusign.</p>\n<p><b>Opendoor (OPEN)</b></p>\n<p>Opendoor was one of several Chamath Palihapitiya-backed SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) hit hard by the&nbsp;SPAC wipeout.

Why did inflation chatter cause such a reaction? It’s not inflation per se that’s the worry. The possible raising of interest rates to combat inflation is the real concern.\nFor now, the Federal Reserve is OK keeping rates at current levels. But, that may not be the case in 2022. So, why are possibly rising interest rates a concern for growth stocks? Simple: valuation. It’s easier to justify frothy multiples for growth stocks in a near-zero interest rate environment. Given that growth stocks are priced based on projected earnings down the road, rising rates further discount future cash flows, which affects present value.\nYet, following the brief pullback, these fears started to cool. Admittedly, it’s too early to tell whether investors are correctly assessing the situation. As Lule Demmissie, president of Ally Invest, said in a statement provided toInvestorPlace, we won’t know if the inflation we’ve seen lately is “truly transitory until the end of summer.”\nThat is, the jury’s still out whether the inflation we’ve seen in recent months is due to the U.S. economy entering recovery mode with the novel coronavirus pandemic. If inflation cools more, as things get back to the “old normal,” we may be in the clear. This could pave the way for growth stocks, hard hit as of late, rebounding, as investors rotate back into them.\nSo, which growth stocks could rebound, if inflation worries further dissipate? These seven, still down from their highs, may be ones set to bounce back:\n\nBeyond Meat(NASDAQ:BYND)\nDocuSign(NASDAQ:DOCU)\nOpendoor(NASDAQ:OPEN)\nPenn National Gaming(NASDAQ:PENN)\nShopify(NYSE:SHOP)\nSkillz(NYSE:SKLZ)\nTeladoc Health(NYSE:TDOC)\n\nBeyond Meat (BYND)\nSure, with Reddit traders squeezing it, heavily shorted BYND stock made up for all of its May losses. After falling from around $135 per share, to briefly under $100 per share, it’s bounced back above where it was at the start of last month.\nBut, this purveyor of plant-based “meat,” which has its share of skeptics, remains down substantially from the prices it fetched for back in February (around $175 per share). Now, not all of these losses are due to concerns about rising inflation and interest rates.\nUnderwhelming sales numbers over the past few quarters cast doubt whether this growth story will live up to expectations. Analysts still estimate that revenue will increase more than 50% next year, as the shift to plant-based meat alternatives continues amid environmental and health concerns. If results start to meet (or even beat) projections, we could see more than just interest from meme stock speculators again in this once-hot stock.\nYet, it may take more than blockbuster results to keep shares on an upward trajectory. It may take the lifting of fears that interest rates are set to rise sharply, before the markets again feel fine with giving this still-richly priced stock (Beyond Meat trades for around 10x estimated 2022 sales) an even higher forward multiple.\nDocuSign (DOCU)\nDocuSign is just one of many fast-growing tech names that crushed it stock price-wise last year and going into this year. Between pandemic tailwinds (like the shift to remote work), and near-zero interest rates, investors bid up the e-signature solutions provider to a valuation that gives it a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio in the triple digits.\nSince the start of the rotation out of growth stocks, DOCU stock dropped more than 30% off its highs. Yet, shares aren’t exactly cheap, as they still sport a triple-digit forward P/E ratio (154.3x). Rising interest rates could result in further contraction. Even as earnings are expected to grow at a 40%+ annualized clip over the next two years.\nRight now, the 2020 top performer is holding steady at around $200 per share. If interest rates rise, we could see another dramatic drop. But, if inflation and interest rate fears cool, and it becomes clear the Fed won’t sharply shift from dovish to hawkish fiscal policy, coupled with continued better-than-expected results, we could see shares make a move back toward their past high water mark (around $290 per share).\nSome may be concerned that its underlying performance, boosted by last year’s stay-at-home environment may start to wane as we return to the “old normal.” But, with a more remote office environment likely here to stay, growth remains on the menu for Docusign.\nOpendoor (OPEN)\nOpendoor was one of several Chamath Palihapitiya-backed SPACs (special purpose acquisition companies) hit hard by the SPAC wipeout. Many factors caused the beating down of blank-check stocks over the past few months. But, the initial inflation fears experienced back in February certainly played a role.\nRising inflation may mean rising interest rates. And, rising interest rates impact stocks priced based on future rather than current results. And, that is what’s happened here with shares in this residential real estate i-buyer. Of course, the specter of rising rates could affect OPEN stock in more ways than just a contraction of its premium valuation.\nSupply outpacing demand is a factor in today’s manic housing market. But, rock bottom interest rates played a role as well. A hot market for residential homes helped Opendoor’s business, which is basically house-flipping on a massive scale. A sharp correction in this market, brought upon by a rapid rise in rates, could change this. And, not in a good way.\nYet, it’s not set in stone this is how things will play out in residential real estate. AsInvestorPlace’sAlex Sirois wrote May 27,shares may continue to trade sideways, as investors assess where housing is headed next. But, if interest rates end up not surging in the coming year, this market could see a soft landing, instead of a hard crash. That may not necessarily help boost OPEN stock (trading for around $16 per share). However, it could keep shares steady for investors buying it as a long-term “future of housing” play.\nPenn National Gaming (PENN)\nIts main business may still be brick-and-mortar casinos. But, what’s made Penn National a top performing stock since March 2020 has been its exposure to the i-gaming and online gambling megatrend.\nWith its investment in Barstool Sports, and the launch of a sportsbook utilizing this brand name, investors have bet big that this company, with the customer base from its legacy business, coupled with the fan base of David Portnoy’s Barstool franchise, will become a dominant force in this fast-growing industry.\nHowever, over the past few months, shares pulled back massively from as high as $142 per share, to around $80 per share. What’s behind this? Mainly, the cool down in retail investor mania over this stock. The market realizes it’s going to take time for Penn National’s i-gaming unit to turn into a cash cow.\nSo, what does this have to do with rising inflation/rising interest rates?

The stock soared more than four-fold throughout the pandemic, as “stay at home” became “shop at home,” which boosted demand for this SaaS name’s e-commerce platform.\nBut, concerns growth would slide post-pandemic, coupled with the specter of rising rates affecting valuations, helped to push down the stock from its highs (nearly $1,500 per share), down to around $1,250 per share as of this writing.\nGrowth may be slowing down.

Yet, even as it remains a growth story, this alone won’t save it from falling further. Trading for 284.7x forward earnings, any sort of valuation contraction caused by rising interest rates may result in another dramatic decline for shares.\nThat being said, the fears that have impacted fast-growing tech names could continue to subside. This may bring many investors sitting on the sidelines back into SHOP stock. But, keep in mind, that, after its insane run-up last year, we may see neither a rebound or a sell-off.

The mobile gaming platform,a favorite of Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest, has been hit hard by several factors.\nFor one, the cycling out of growth stocks.

As InvestorPlace’s Joel Baglole wrote May 15, concerns its growth will slow down post-pandemic was a major factor in its continued declines.\nDemand for telemedicine may continue to be strong, even as we are no longer operating in last year’s environment.

This cryptocurrency is not backed by any asset and hardly has anysustainable advantageover rivals in terms of transaction fees or processing and settlement speeds. And with no hard limit to the number of Dogecoins that can be mined, this cryptocurrency is extremely sensitive to headline risk.</p><p>This makes Dogecoin a highly speculative investment for retail investors -- one that should mostly be avoided. Instead,<b>NVIDIA</b>(NASDAQ:NVDA),<b>Skillz</b>(NYSE:SKLZ), and<b>Jushi Holdings</b>(OTC:JUSHF)can prove much better portfolio holdings in the long run.</p><p>1. NVIDIA</p><p>If you want to invest in leading-edge semiconductor technology powering artificial intelligence, cloud computing, autonomous driving, 5G, and several other next-generation trends, then NVIDIA may be exactly the right stock for you.</p><p>In the first quarter of fiscal 2022 (ending May 2), NVIDIA reported stellar performance, despite the ongoing global semiconductor shortage. Revenue jumped 84% year over year to $5.66 billion, and diluted earnings per share (EPS) soared 106% to $3.03. In the first quarter, gaming revenue was up 106% year over year to $2.76 billion, while data center revenue jumped 79% year over year to $2.05 billion.</p><p>Long known as a leader in the gaming space for its graphic processing units (GPUs), NVIDIA further strengthened that position by launching GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs in September. Since then, GeForce has triggered a massive GPU upgrade cycle in the gaming industry, and demand for NVIDIA-powered laptops and desktops from students, gamers, and creators has been outstripping supply.</p><p>In fact, the RTX 30 series has played a pivotal role in helping NVIDIArecapture some shareof the discrete GPU market from<b>Advanced Micro Devices</b>(NASDAQ:AMD). (\"Discrete GPU\" refers to a GPU which is separate from the central processing unit, or CPU.) Subsequently, the company ended 2020 with83% of the discrete GPUmarket share.</p><p>NVIDIA's data center segment is witnessing solid demand from massive data-center customers building infrastructure for providing AI capabilities to their clients. Management has also announced plans to launch their first data center central processing unit (CPU), theARM-based\"Grace\" chip, by 2023. With the capability to work 10 times faster than existing servers, Grace CPU can further strengthen NVIDIA's position in the global data center market.</p><p>With this backdrop, although NVIDIA trades at more than 40.8 times forward earnings, the premium valuation seems justified. Investors can earn handsome returns by picking up this market-leading semiconductor stock even at these elevated levels.</p><p>2. Skillz</p><p>Mobile esports platform Skillz has been on a wild ride in the past few months. The company IPOed via the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) route at an opening price of $17.89 in December, reached as high as $46.30 in February, and then tanked to an all-time low of $12.40 in April. The dramatic drop has been associated with several factors, including investors moving from growth to value stocks, some adverse short-seller reports, ill-timed capital raises, and equity dilution involving significant insider selling.</p><p>The sheer magnitude of Skillz's sell-off, however, seems unjustified. Skillz provides mobile game developers with a platform to organize competitions and then collects15% of the gross proceedspaid by players participating in these competitions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2021 (ending March 31), Skillz's monthly active users rose by 3.8% year over year to 2.7 million, and paying user count jumped by 81% to 467,000.</p><p>In an open letter to retail investors, Skillz founder and CEO Andrew Paradise highlighted the platform's high engagement level, noting that once users start paying, they stay with the company for the long run. While Skillz is currently focused only on paying users, Paradise's letter noted plans to explore other monetization methods, such as \"non-intrusive advertising\" and \"gamifying other industries and experiences,\" to add new revenue streams in the coming years.</p><p>In the first quarter, Skillz's revenues jumped 92% year over year to $84 million, ahead of its previous guidance of $80 million. The company also bumped up its year-over-year fiscal 2021 revenue growth estimate from 59% to 63%. However, this guidance does not include the potential gains from new game launches or entering new geographies.</p><p>The company has entered into a multi-year gaming agreement with the National Football League (NFL). While this deal will not add materially to Skillz's top line in fiscal 2021, it will attract more users to the platform. The company also plans to enter India by the end of fiscal 2021, a move expected to grow its addressable market by 65%. Against this backdrop, chances of Skillz reporting a steep revenue growth trajectory in coming quarters remains high.</p><p>Currently trading at 31 times trailing 12-month (TTM) sales, Skillz is still quite expensive, especially given that it's not profitable. However, the company is a solid bet on the growth potential of the mobile gaming market, which has expanded annually at a compounded average growth rate of 23% between 2015 and 2020. With a gross margin of 95%, a cash balance of $613 million, and zero debt, Skillz offers an attractive risk-reward proposition to retail investors.</p><p>3. Jushi Holdings</p><p>Shares of U.S. multi-state cannabis operator Jushi Holdings are up over 450% in the past 12 months -- and for a good reason. Although it's among the smallerU.S. cannabis companies, the company hasstrategically selected marketswith high growth potential and limited competition in which to operate, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Illinois, California, Nevada, and Massachusetts.</p><p>Jushi currently operates 11 medical marijuana dispensaries in Pennsylvania and plans to open an additional seven in 2021. This footprint seems even more impressive considering the fact that Pennsylvania's limited licensing structure reduces competition.</p><p>There are 528,000 registered medical marijuana patients in Pennsylvania, and the market&nbsp;is expected to rake in $1.5 billion in revenues by 2023, meaning that Jushi stands to benefit dramatically in coming months. As Pennsylvania moves toward legalizing recreational marijuana, which is a major topic ahead of 2022 elections, Jushi's extensive presence can help establish its brands rapidly in this new market.</p><p>Jushi currently operates four dispensaries in Illinois, a state which legalized sales of recreational cannabis starting Jan. 1, 2020. With an estimated 2021 annual run rate of $1.3 billion, Illinois is well-positioned to be a major revenue driver for the company. The company also holds one of the only five vertically integrated licenses in Virginia -- allowing it to cultivate, process, and sell medical cannabis to customers in a market with limited competition. Virginia is expected to commence recreational cannabis sales in 2024, which will further boost Jushi's addressable market.</p><p>In first-quarter 2021 (ending March 31), Jushi's revenues rose 29% sequentially to $41.7 million. The company also has a strong balance sheet with $168 million cash and $82 million debt. Against the backdrop of a robust strategy and solid financials, Jushi could prove to be an attractive investment for retail investors.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Ignore Dogecoin -- These 3 Unique Stocks Are Infinitely Better Buys</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\">\nIgnore Dogecoin -- These 3 Unique Stocks Are Infinitely Better Buys\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-03 12:44 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/><strong>The motley fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>These interesting companies are targeting huge market opportunities -- and can help keep your portfolio afloat in any market condition.Dogecoin(CRYPTO:DOGE)has emerged as one of the most hyped assets ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"NVDA":"英伟达","JUSHF":"Jushi Holdings Inc.","AMD":"美国超微公司","SKLZ":"Skillz Inc"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/02/ignore-dogecoin-these-3-unique-stocks-are-infinite/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1146528217","content_text":"These interesting companies are targeting huge market opportunities -- and can help keep your portfolio afloat in any market condition.Dogecoin(CRYPTO:DOGE)has emerged as one of the most hyped assets in the market today.

That’s why the risks are high.”</p>\n<p>The current debate over inflation really revolves around two questions: First, is this current spate of inflation, just that, a spate—or to use Wall Street’s buzzword of the moment, “transitory,”—or not? (Just to give you an idea of how buzzy, when I Google the word “transitory” the search engine suggests “inflation” after it.) And second, transitory (aka temporary) inflation or not, what does it suggest for the economy and markets?</p>\n<p>Before I get into that, let me lay out what’s going on with prices right now. First, know that inflation,which peaked in 1980 at an annualized rate of 13.55%,has been tame for quite some time, specifically 4% or less for nearly 30 years. Which means that anyone 40 years old or younger has no experience with inflation other than maybe from an Econ 101 textbook. Obviously that could be a problem.</p>\n<p>As an aside I remember President Ford in 1974 trying to jawbone inflation down with his \"Whip Inflation Now\" campaign, which featured“Win” buttons,earringsand evenugly sweaters.None of this worked and it took draconian measures by Fed Chair Paul Volcker (raising rates and targeting money supply,as described by Former President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, William Poole)to eventually tame inflation and keep it under wraps for all those years.</p>\n<p>Until now perhaps. Last week theLabor Department reported that consumer prices (the CPI, or consumer price index) rose 5% in May,the fastest annual rate in nearly 13 years—which was when the economy was overheating from the housing boom which subsequently went bust and sent the economy off a cliff and into the Great Recession. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 3.8%, the biggest increase since May 1992. (For the record, the likelihood of the economy tanking right now is de minimis.)</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/87f75dfcb98fb5a0e7c3f9d3f8d336e2\" tg-width=\"705\" tg-height=\"412\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>Used car and truck prices are a major driver of inflation, climbing 7.3% last month and 29.7% over the past year. New car prices are up too, which have pushed upshares of Ford and GM a remarkable 40% plus this year.Clearly Americans want to buy vehicles to go on vacation and get back to work. And Yahoo Finance’sJanna Herron reportsthat rents are rising at their fastest pace in 15 years.</p>\n<p>To be sure, not all prices are climbing.As Yahoo Finance’s Rick Newman points out,prices are not up much at all for health care, education and are basically flat for technology, including computers, smartphones and internet service (an important point which we’ll get back to.)</p>\n<p>But that’s the counterpoint really. Americans are obsessed with cars, housing is critical and many of us are experiencing sticker shock booking travel this summer. Higher prices are front and center. Wall Street too is in a tizzy about inflation, and concerns about it and more importantly Federal Reserve policy in response to inflation (see below), sent stocks lower with the S&amp;P 500 down 1.91% this week, its worst week since February.</p>\n<p>Given this backdrop, the tension (such as it is) was high when the Fed met this week to deliver its forecast and for Chair Jay Powell to answer questions from the media. Or at least so said hedge fund honcho Paul Tudor Jones,who characterized the proceedings on CNBCas “the most important meeting in [Chairman] Jay Powell’s career, certainly the most important Fed meeting of the past four or five years.” Jones was critical of the Fed, which he believes is now stimulating the economy unnecessarily by keeping interest rates low and by buying financial assets. Unnecessarily, Jones says, because the economy is already running hot and needs no support. The Fed (which is in the transitory camp when it comes to inflation) risks overheating the economy by creating runaway inflation, according to PTJ.</p>\n<p>Now I don’t see eye to eye with Jones on this, though I should point out, he's a billionaire from investing in financial markets, and let’s just say I’m not. I should also point out that Jones, 66, is in fact old enough to remember inflation, never mind that as a young man he called the 1987 stock market crash. So we should all ignore Jones at our peril.</p>\n<p>As for what the Fed put forth this past Wednesday, well it wasn’t much, signaling an expectation ofraising interest rates twice by the end of 2023(yes, that is down the road.) And Powell, who’s become much more adept at not rippling the waters these days after some rougher forays earlier in his tenure, didn’t drop any bombshells in the presser.</p>\n<p>Which brings us to the question of why the Federal Reserve isn’t so concerned about inflation and thinks it is mostly—here’s that word again—transitory. To answer that, we need to first address why prices are rising right now, which can be summed up in one very familiar abbreviation: COVID-19. When COVID hit last spring the economy collapsed, which crushed demand in sectors like leisure, travel and retail. Now the economy is roaring back to life and businesses can raise prices, certainly over 2020 levels.</p>\n<p>“We clearly should’ve expected it,” says William Spriggs, chief economist at the AFL-CIO and a professor of economics at Howard University. “You can’t shut down the economy and think you turn on the switch [without some inflation].”</p>\n<p>“We had a pandemic that forced an artificial shutdown of the economy in a way that even the collapse of the financial system and the housing market didn’t, and we had a snapback at a rate we’ve never seen before—not because of the fundamentals driving recovery but because of government,” says Joel Naroff, president and chief economist of Naroff Economics.</p>\n<p>COVID had other secondary effects on the economy though, besides just ultimately producing a snapback. For one thing, the pandemic throttled supply chains, specifically the shipping of parts and components from one part of the globe to another. It also confused managers about how much to produce and therefore how many parts to order.</p>\n<p>A prime example here is what happened to the chip (semiconductor) and auto industrieswhich I wrote about last month.Car makers thought no one would buy vehicles during the pandemic and pared back their orders with chipmakers, (which were having a tough time shipping their chips anyway.) Turned out the car guys were wrong, millions of people wanted cars and trucks, but the automakers didn’t have enough chips for their cars and had to curb production. Fewer vehicles and strong demand led to higher new car prices, which cascaded to used car prices then to car rental rates. Net net, all the friction and slowness of getting things delivered now adds to costs which causes companies to raise prices.</p>\n<p>Another secondary effect of COVID which has been inflationary comes from employment,which I got into a bit last week.We all know millions were thrown out of work by COVID last year, many of whom were backstopped by government payments that could add up to $600 a week (state and federal.) These folks have been none too keen on coming back to work for minimum wage, or $290 a week. So to lure them back employers are having to pay more, which puts more money in people's pockets which allows stores for example to raise prices.</p>\n<p><b>Anti-inflation forces</b></p>\n<p>But here’s the big-time question: If COVID was temporary, and therefore its effects are temporary and inflation is one of its effects then doesn’t it follow, ipso facto, that inflation is (OK I’ll say it again), transitory?</p>\n<p>I say yes, (with a bit of a caveat.) And most economists, like Claudia Sahm, a senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and a former Federal Reserve economist, agree. “‘Transitory’ has become a buzzword,” she says. “It is important to be more concrete about what we mean by that. We’re probably going to see in the next few months inflation numbers that are bigger than average, but as long as they keep stepping down, that’s the sign of it being transitory. If we didn’t see any sign of inflation stepping down some, it would’ve started feeling like ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”</p>\n<p>To buttress my argument beyond that above \"if-then\" syllogism, let’s take a look at why inflation has been so low for the past three decades.</p>\n<p>To me this is mostly obvious. Prices have been tamped down by the greatest anti-inflation force of our lifetime, that being technology, specifically the explosion of consumer technology. Think about it. The first wave of technology, a good example would be IBM mainframes, saved big companies money in back-office functions, savings which they mostly kept for themselves (higher profits) and their shareholders. But the four great landmark events in the advent of consumer technology; the introduction ofthe PC in 1974 (MITS Altair),the Netscape IPO of 1995,Google search in 1998,and the launch of theiPhone in 2007(I remember Steve Jobs demoing it to me like it was yesterday), greatly accelerated, broadened and deepened this deflationary trend.</p>\n<p>Not only has technology been pushing down the cost of everything from drilling for oil, to manufacturing clothes to farming, and allowing for the creation of groundbreaking (and deflationary) competitors like Uber, Airbnb and Netflix, but it also let consumers find—on their phones—the most affordable trip to Hawaii, the least expensive haircut or the best deal on Nikes.</p>\n<p>So technology has reduced the cost of almost everything and will continue to do so the rest of our lifetime. Bottom line: Unless something terrible happens, the power of technology will outweigh and outlive COVID.</p>\n<p>There is one mitigating factor and that is globalism, which is connected to both technology and COVID. Let me briefly explain.</p>\n<p>After World War II, most of humanity has become more and more connected in terms of trade, communication, travel, etc. (See supply chain above.) Technology of course was a major enabler here; better ships, planes and faster internet, all of which as it grew more potent, accelerated globalism. Another element was the introduction of political constructs like the World Trade Organization and NAFTA. (I think of the Clinton administration andChina joining the WTO in 2001as perhaps the high-water marks of globalization.)</p>\n<p>Like its technological cousin, globalism has deflationary effects particularly on the labor front as companies could more and more easily find lowest cost countries to produce goods and source materials. And like technology, globalization seemed inexorable, which it was, until it wasn’t. Political winds, manifested by the likes of Brexit and leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, Duterte and of course Donald Trump have caused globalism to wane and anti-globalism and nationalism to wax.</p>\n<p>The internet too, once seen as only a great connector, has also become a global divider, as the world increasingly fractures into Chinese, U.S. and European walled digital zones when it comes to social media and search for example. Security risks, privacy, spying and hacking of course divide us further here too.</p>\n<p>So technology, which had made globalism stronger and stronger, now also makes it weaker and weaker.</p>\n<p>COVID plays a role in rethinking globalism as it exposes vulnerabilities in the supply chain. Companies that were rethinking their manufacturing in China but considering another country, are now wondering if it just makes sense to repatriate the whole shebang. Supply chains that were optimized for cost only are being rethought with security and reliability being factored in and that costs money.</p>\n<p>How significant is this decline in globalization and how permanent is it? Good questions. But my point here is whether or not \"globalism disrupted\" is transitory (!) or not, it could push prices up, (in the short and intermediate run at least), as cost is sacrificed for predictability. Longer term I say Americans are a resourceful people. We’ll figure out how to make cost effective stuff in the U.S. It’s also likely that globalism will trend upward again, though perhaps not as unfettered as it once was.</p>\n<p>More downward pressure on pricing could come from shifts in employment practices. Mark Zandi points out that “the work-from-anywhere dynamic could depress wage growth and prices. If I don’t need to work in New York anymore and could live in Tampa, it stands to reason my wage could get cut or I won’t get the same wage increase in the future.”</p>\n<p>And so what is Zandi’s take on transitory? “What we’re observing now is prices going back to pre-pandemic,” he says. “The price spikes we’re experiencing now will continue for the next few months through summer but certainly by the end of year, this time next year, they will have disappeared. I do think underlying inflation will be higher post-pandemic than pre-pandemic, but that’s a feature not a bug.”</p>\n<p>I don’t disagree. To me it’s simple: The technology wave I’ve described above is bigger than COVID and bigger than the rise and fall of globalism. And that is why, ladies and gentlemen, I believe inflation will be transitory, certainly in the long run. (Though I’m well aware of whatJohn Maynard Keynes said about the long run.)</p>","source":"lsy1612507957220","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>Answering the great inflation question of our time</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\">\nAnswering the great inflation question of our time\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-20 09:19 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/answering-the-great-inflation-question-of-our-time-114153460.html><strong>finance.yahoo</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Prices of everything; a house in Phoenix, a Ford F-150, a plane ticket to New York, have all gone up.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wreaked havoc on the U.S. and global economy, and it briefly sent the U.S. stock market into a tailspin.</p>\n<p>However, a perfect storm could be brewing for equities under the Biden administration. The Federal Reserve has pledged to hold firm on historically low lending rates, while the White House is calling for trillions of dollars in additional spending. This abundant access to cheap capital is the perfect recipe for stocks to thrive in a rebounding economy.</p>\n<p>If a Biden bull market does take shape, the following five unbeatable stocks would be the perfect companies to own.</p>\n<p><b>Alphabet</b></p>\n<p>Few stocks are more synonymous with the word \"unbeatable\" than&nbsp;<b>Alphabet</b>(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG), the parent company of internet search engine Google and streaming platform YouTube.</p>\n<p>Alphabet operates what might as well be a monopoly in internet search. According to GlobalStats, Google has consistently maintainedglobal search engine market share of 91% to 93%for at least the past two years. Its next-closest competitor,<b>Microsoft</b>'s Bing, hardly registered with a 2.29% share of the search engine market in April 2021. Being such a dominant force in search means advertisers will pay up for prime placement. It also suggests that the company's traffic acquisition costs should decline over time. As the U.S. and global economy improve, ad spending should really pick up.</p>\n<p>But Alphabetis about more than just internet search. Ad revenue generated from YouTube -- one of the three most-visited social sites on the planet -- jumped 49% in the first quarter to $6 billion. Meanwhile, revenue from cloud infrastructure segment Google Cloud rose 46% to $4 billion. These once small ancillary operations are now on track to contribute $40 billion in sales to Alphabet on an annual run-rate basis.</p>\n<p>Despite its $1.6 trillion price tag, Alphabet is still a bargain.</p>\n<p><b>AstraZeneca</b></p>\n<p>For two decades,pharmaceutical stock&nbsp;<b>AstraZeneca</b>(NASDAQ:AZN)was a largely forgettable drug developer that struggled with competition and the patent cliff. Today, it's reinvented itself into a bona fide growth stock with a bright future.</p>\n<p>The primary growth driver for AstraZenecais the company's oncology segment. In the first quarter alone, constant currency sales jumped 16% to $3.02 billion. The company's blockbuster trio of Tagrisso, Imfinzi, and Lynparza led the way with respective constant-currency sales growth of 13%, 17%, and 33%. Diabetes blockbuster drug Farxiga also deserves a mention with its 50% constant-currency sales growth in Q1 2021. The company's brand-name treatments are on fire, and it's led to sustainable double-digit topline growth.</p>\n<p>Equally exciting is AstraZeneca's pending acquisition of<b>Alexion Pharmaceuticals</b>(NASDAQ:ALXN). Alexion is a developer of ultra-rare therapeutics. Though it's risky developing treatments for such a small group of patients, success is usually met with no competition and little or no pushback from health insurers on high list prices.</p>\n<p>The best part about the Alexion deal is the companydeveloped a replacement for its top-selling drug, Soliris. The next-generation therapy, known as Ultomiris, is administered less frequently, which is a positive for patients. Eventually, Ultomiris will gobble up Soliris' sales and lock-up Alexion's/AstraZeneca's cash flow for a long time to come.</p>\n<p><b>Mastercard</b></p>\n<p>Another unbeatable stock that can deliver superior returns with Biden in the White House is payment facilitator<b>Mastercard</b>(NYSE:MA).</p>\n<p>Like mostfinancial stocks, Mastercard is cyclical. This means it struggles when the U.S. and global economy contract or enter a recession and it thrives when the economy is running on all cylinders. That's because it relies on merchant fees via payments to drive its top and bottom line. But the thing to understand about cyclical companies like Mastercard is that time is on their side. Whereas recessions often last for a few quarters, periods of expansion usually last many years. Considering how much money the Biden administration is attempting to pump into the U.S. economy, Mastercard should have a field day.</p>\n<p>Something else to consider is that Mastercardhas chosen not to be a lender. Although some of its peers do act as both processors and lenders (via credit cards), and are therefore able to double-dip during economic expansions, Mastercard's avoidance of lending is actually a smart move. When recessions inevitably strike and credit delinquencies rise, Mastercard doesn't have set aside cash. This is why it rebounds much quicker than its peers during the early stages of a recovery.</p>\n<p>The math here is simple: As the economy picks up steam, consumers and businesses are going to spend, spend, and spend some more. That's music to the ears of all Mastercard shareholders.</p>\n<p><b>Annaly Capital Management</b></p>\n<p>Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you dividend income-seekers out there. If a Biden bull market takes shape, mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT)<b>Annaly Capital Management</b>(NYSE:NLY)could be a smart place to put your money to work.</p>\n<p>Without getting overly technical, mortgage REITs like Annaly borrow money at short-term lending rates and use it to purchase securities with higher long-term yields. In Annaly's case, we're primarily talking about mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The difference between the long-term yield received and the short-term borrowing rate is known as net interest margin (NIM). The wider the NIM, the more profitable Annaly is, and the bigger the dividend payout it can provide to shareholders. Right now, Annaly Capital isyielding a jaw-dropping 9.7%.</p>\n<p>What makes Annaly such a perfect stock to buy is thatwe're witnessing the yield curve steepen. When the U.S. economy is rebounding from a recession, it's normal for long-term yields to rise and for short-term yields to fall or flatten out. When this happens, Annaly usually experiences a widening of its NIM.</p>\n<p>Additionally, Annaly almost exclusively buys agency securities. This is a fancy way of saying that the MBSs it's purchasing are backed by the federal government in the event of a default. This protection is what allows the company to utilize leverage to its advantage, thereby pumping up its profits.</p>\n<p><b>Trupanion</b></p>\n<p>Lastly, companion animal health insurance company&nbsp;<b>Trupanion</b>(NASDAQ:TRUP)has all the look of an unbeatable stock to buy in a Biden bull market.</p>\n<p>The pet industry may not offer flashy growth prospects like cybersecurity or cannabis, but it's arguably themost consistent growth opportunity. It's been more than a quarter of a century since year-over-year U.S. pet expenditures declined. Further, the American Pet Products Association notes that the percentage of American household owning a pet has increased from 56% in 1988 to 67% by 2019-2020. If we've learned anything about pet owners, it's that they're willing to spend big bucks to ensure the well-being of their four-legged family members.</p>\n<p>Trupanion, which recently lifted the hood on its first-quarter operating results, isclosing in on 1 million total enrolled pets(943,854 at the end of Q1 2021).

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wreaked havoc on the U.S. and global economy, and it briefly sent the U.S. stock market into a tailspin.\nHowever, a perfect storm could be brewing for equities under the Biden administration. The Federal Reserve has pledged to hold firm on historically low lending rates, while the White House is calling for trillions of dollars in additional spending. This abundant access to cheap capital is the perfect recipe for stocks to thrive in a rebounding economy.\nIf a Biden bull market does take shape, the following five unbeatable stocks would be the perfect companies to own.\nAlphabet\nFew stocks are more synonymous with the word \"unbeatable\" than Alphabet(NASDAQ:GOOGL)(NASDAQ:GOOG), the parent company of internet search engine Google and streaming platform YouTube.\nAlphabet operates what might as well be a monopoly in internet search. According to GlobalStats, Google has consistently maintainedglobal search engine market share of 91% to 93%for at least the past two years. Its next-closest competitor,Microsoft's Bing, hardly registered with a 2.29% share of the search engine market in April 2021. Being such a dominant force in search means advertisers will pay up for prime placement. It also suggests that the company's traffic acquisition costs should decline over time. As the U.S. and global economy improve, ad spending should really pick up.\nBut Alphabetis about more than just internet search. Ad revenue generated from YouTube -- one of the three most-visited social sites on the planet -- jumped 49% in the first quarter to $6 billion. Meanwhile, revenue from cloud infrastructure segment Google Cloud rose 46% to $4 billion. These once small ancillary operations are now on track to contribute $40 billion in sales to Alphabet on an annual run-rate basis.\nDespite its $1.6 trillion price tag, Alphabet is still a bargain.\nAstraZeneca\nFor two decades,pharmaceutical stock AstraZeneca(NASDAQ:AZN)was a largely forgettable drug developer that struggled with competition and the patent cliff. Today, it's reinvented itself into a bona fide growth stock with a bright future.\nThe primary growth driver for AstraZenecais the company's oncology segment. In the first quarter alone, constant currency sales jumped 16% to $3.02 billion. The company's blockbuster trio of Tagrisso, Imfinzi, and Lynparza led the way with respective constant-currency sales growth of 13%, 17%, and 33%. Diabetes blockbuster drug Farxiga also deserves a mention with its 50% constant-currency sales growth in Q1 2021. The company's brand-name treatments are on fire, and it's led to sustainable double-digit topline growth.\nEqually exciting is AstraZeneca's pending acquisition ofAlexion Pharmaceuticals(NASDAQ:ALXN). Alexion is a developer of ultra-rare therapeutics. Though it's risky developing treatments for such a small group of patients, success is usually met with no competition and little or no pushback from health insurers on high list prices.\nThe best part about the Alexion deal is the companydeveloped a replacement for its top-selling drug, Soliris. The next-generation therapy, known as Ultomiris, is administered less frequently, which is a positive for patients. Eventually, Ultomiris will gobble up Soliris' sales and lock-up Alexion's/AstraZeneca's cash flow for a long time to come.\nMastercard\nAnother unbeatable stock that can deliver superior returns with Biden in the White House is payment facilitatorMastercard(NYSE:MA).\nLike mostfinancial stocks, Mastercard is cyclical. This means it struggles when the U.S. and global economy contract or enter a recession and it thrives when the economy is running on all cylinders. That's because it relies on merchant fees via payments to drive its top and bottom line. But the thing to understand about cyclical companies like Mastercard is that time is on their side. Whereas recessions often last for a few quarters, periods of expansion usually last many years. Considering how much money the Biden administration is attempting to pump into the U.S. economy, Mastercard should have a field day.\nSomething else to consider is that Mastercardhas chosen not to be a lender. Although some of its peers do act as both processors and lenders (via credit cards), and are therefore able to double-dip during economic expansions, Mastercard's avoidance of lending is actually a smart move. When recessions inevitably strike and credit delinquencies rise, Mastercard doesn't have set aside cash. This is why it rebounds much quicker than its peers during the early stages of a recovery.\nThe math here is simple: As the economy picks up steam, consumers and businesses are going to spend, spend, and spend some more. That's music to the ears of all Mastercard shareholders.\nAnnaly Capital Management\nDon't worry, I haven't forgotten about you dividend income-seekers out there. If a Biden bull market takes shape, mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT)Annaly Capital Management(NYSE:NLY)could be a smart place to put your money to work.\nWithout getting overly technical, mortgage REITs like Annaly borrow money at short-term lending rates and use it to purchase securities with higher long-term yields. In Annaly's case, we're primarily talking about mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The difference between the long-term yield received and the short-term borrowing rate is known as net interest margin (NIM). The wider the NIM, the more profitable Annaly is, and the bigger the dividend payout it can provide to shareholders. Right now, Annaly Capital isyielding a jaw-dropping 9.7%.\nWhat makes Annaly such a perfect stock to buy is thatwe're witnessing the yield curve steepen. When the U.S. economy is rebounding from a recession, it's normal for long-term yields to rise and for short-term yields to fall or flatten out. When this happens, Annaly usually experiences a widening of its NIM.\nAdditionally, Annaly almost exclusively buys agency securities. This is a fancy way of saying that the MBSs it's purchasing are backed by the federal government in the event of a default. This protection is what allows the company to utilize leverage to its advantage, thereby pumping up its profits.\nTrupanion\nLastly, companion animal health insurance company Trupanion(NASDAQ:TRUP)has all the look of an unbeatable stock to buy in a Biden bull market.\nThe pet industry may not offer flashy growth prospects like cybersecurity or cannabis, but it's arguably themost consistent growth opportunity. It's been more than a quarter of a century since year-over-year U.S. pet expenditures declined. Further, the American Pet Products Association notes that the percentage of American household owning a pet has increased from 56% in 1988 to 67% by 2019-2020. If we've learned anything about pet owners, it's that they're willing to spend big bucks to ensure the well-being of their four-legged family members.\nTrupanion, which recently lifted the hood on its first-quarter operating results, isclosing in on 1 million total enrolled pets(943,854 at the end of Q1 2021). Amazingly, this only represents a little over 1% penetration of the U.S. market. In the U.K., about 1 in 4 pet owners purchases insurance for their cat or dog. If Trupanion can achieve a similar penetration rate, its addressable market would be more than $32 billion.\nThis is a company that's spent two decades building up rapport with veterinarians and their staff at the clinical level. It's also the only major companion animal health insurance provider with software capable of handling payment to veterinarians at the time of checkout.\nThe sky is the limit for Trupanion.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"AZN":0.9,"GOOGL":0.9,"MA":0.9,"NLY":0.9,"TRUP":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":108,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":107288176,"gmtCreate":1620511311195,"gmtModify":1634198396907,"author":{"id":"3581653576507809","authorId":"3581653576507809","name":"CLew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d41c0d9a950d827fc6ba2cea7497a25d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581653576507809","authorIdStr":"3581653576507809"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Well, good luck.","listText":"Well, good luck.","text":"Well, good luck.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/107288176","repostId":"1140579879","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":524,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":193721124,"gmtCreate":1620822651268,"gmtModify":1634196069629,"author":{"id":"3581653576507809","authorId":"3581653576507809","name":"CLew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d41c0d9a950d827fc6ba2cea7497a25d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581653576507809","authorIdStr":"3581653576507809"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Strongly has confidence with coinbase stock.Any comments or advice?","listText":"Strongly has confidence with coinbase stock.Any comments or advice?","text":"Strongly has confidence with coinbase stock.Any comments or advice?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/193721124","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":519,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":152674092,"gmtCreate":1625292214616,"gmtModify":1633941658966,"author":{"id":"3581653576507809","authorId":"3581653576507809","name":"CLew","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d41c0d9a950d827fc6ba2cea7497a25d","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3581653576507809","authorIdStr":"3581653576507809"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good Mrn To All.
