Though the hydrogen market is still somewhat of a niche, the story of Plug is one of great expectations.</p>\n<p>Hydrogen is indeed a promising market. Let us explore the&nbsp;potential benefits and promises&nbsp;of hydrogen:</p>\n<ul>\n <li>Green hydrogen can help to decarbonize multiple sectors in which it is difficult to reduce emissions, like long-haul transport, chemical industry, and iron and steel production.</li>\n <li>Green hydrogen can contribute to improvements in air quality and energy security.</li>\n <li>Hydrogen can be produced using a multitude of sources, such as renewables, nuclear energy, natural gas, oil, and even coal. Transportation can be done using pipelines or in liquefied form. It can be transformed into electricity very easily.</li>\n <li>Hydrogen can play an important role in coping with the variable outputs of renewable energy sources. Wind and solar energy output are not always in sync with electricity demand, and hydrogen can be used as a store or energy in times when renewable energy production outpaces demand. These storages can be used in times when renewable energy output is lower than demand, and can be saved for days, weeks, or even months, and can even be transported over long distances if needed.</li>\n <li>Clean hydrogen is currently used in an expanding number of projects worldwide, and it seems to be a matter of time before the technology is scaled up and costs are brought down.</li>\n <li>Currently, hydrogen is mostly used in oil refining processes and for the production of fertilizers. Sectors in which it is still hardly used, like transport, buildings, and power generation seem large untapped markets.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>As such, hydrogen could play an important supporting role in the renewable energy transition, supplying markets that are difficult or impractical to reach for batteries.</p>\n<p>Plug Power has a focused strategy, is already an established business in the hydrogen market, and has a large growing number of commercial relationships. This might mean that the company has the potential to become one of the first pure-play hydrogen companies which&nbsp;could transition&nbsp;from a story stock to a large positive cash flow company.</p>\n<p>The commercial relationships and collaborations which Plug is undertaking are among the most important future drivers of growth for the company, among which are collaborations with&nbsp;Airbus(OTCPK:EADSF),Phillips66(PSX),Acciona(OTCPK:ACXIF),BAE Systems(OTCPK:BAESF),Baker Hughes(BKR), and&nbsp;Brookfield Renewable(BEP).</p>\n<p><b>Parallels with early-stage Tesla</b></p>\n<p>I think it is very interesting to compare Plug Power with Tesla. This seems to make sense since they were both one of the largest first movers in big markets: EV for Tesla and hydrogen for Plug. Tesla also was (and might still be) a good example of a story stock, with their large promises of electrifying the automotive sector.</p>\n<p>Let us look at the share price development, short percentage, and PS ratio of Tesla during the period from 2010 to the end of 2019:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d9911b4514f3c0a566dffcd28c188e1c\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"478\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><i>Tesla's development of share price, short interest, and price to sales ratio between 2010 and the end of 2019. (source: YCharts)</i></p>\n<p>There are some noticeable differences between the share price development of Plug Power and an earlier-stage Tesla. First of all, from 2012 to 2019, the percentage of Tesla's stock sold short has consistently oscillated around 20%. Plug Power is already under 10% and has moved around 15% for the largest part of the last couple of years. But the biggest difference between the two stocks is probably that the price to sales ratio of Tesla has trended down quickly between 2010 and the end of 2019. Since Plug Power's price to sales ratio is heavily influenced by its recent outlier, let us take a look at a graph comparing the two between 2010 and September of this year:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d46be5e658002b2f45b8c5ca43559b93\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"433\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><i>Tesla and Plug Power development price to sales ratio between 2010 and September 2021. (source: YCharts)</i></p>\n<p>These two ratios look to have a lot more in common. But as we can already see, after the end of 2019, Tesla's price to sales ratio went sharply up again. The reason for this was, of course, the almost unprecedented skyrocketing of the Tesla stock starting from the end of 2019. This is illustrated in the following graph of what happened to Tesla shares from September 2019 until now:</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d29232b1b3d9ff99e1edb6e4eac33901\" tg-width=\"635\" tg-height=\"478\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Data by YCharts</span></p>\n<p><i>Development of Tesla share price, short interest, and price to sales ratio between September 2019 and now. (source: YCharts)</i></p>\n<p>As the stock price of Tesla skyrocketed, the short percentage went down sharply and the PS ratio went up.</p>\n<p>The million-dollar question is of course, could this happen to Plug Power as well? Technically, if we look solely at the metrics of Plug compared with the metrics of Tesla just before the stock price exploded, the P/S ratio of Plug is still much too high to expect that the stock could go in the same direction in short order. I also believe that fundamentally, Plug would need to experience some serious growth for the stock to be able to regain its recent upward momentum.</p>\n<p>Another similarity between Plug and Tesla is that negative earnings surprises have been many at Plug recently, this happened to Tesla as well&nbsp;in 2019. At the time, Tesla's stock price was not negatively impacted by those surprises. Currently, the market seems to shake off Plug Power's results as well, though the stock did drop by more than 50% since last year.</p>\n<p><b>Currently, expectations still beat metrics</b></p>\n<p>Like Tesla, Plug's share price seems to be governed more by growth expectations than by current stock metrics. This<i>could</i>mean that Plug would be able to go in the same direction as Tesla if enough investors remain convinced that their business model is profitable for the future and if growth can be expected to continue. Also, as for Tesla, in the long term, fundamental metrics will need to correspond with their lofty valuations. This means that the companies will need to deliver on their expectations.</p>\n<p><b>These are some very large ifs.</b></p>\n<p>Of course, the hydrogen market is different from the EV market. Since the energy density of hydrogen is very high, it will likely be able to compete in markets where batteries still have issues, like long-haul transport. On the other hand, on an energy efficiency level, batteries have some large benefits over hydrogen for smaller transport purposes. On aggregate, I am skeptical about hydrogen being able to be a strong competitor in the EV space, but it will likely play a large role in other modes of transport, as in energy storage.</p>\n<p>Plug Power has been trading like a stock for believers, which shows some strong parallels with Tesla. Theoretically, the stock could follow the same direction as Tesla did, but this is anyone's guess and I believe it would take more growth to continue its upward momentum.</p>\n<p>Plug Power is a promising business, but the company had some bad results recently. This did not impact the stock much during the last 2 years. In the short term, the stock price seems to be most impacted by sentiment and not by fundamentals. This makes it a wonderful stock for traders, but as a long-term investor, I am staying on the sidelines.</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>Plug Power Trades Like A Story Stock And Smells Like An Early-Stage Tesla</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\">\nPlug Power Trades Like A Story Stock And Smells Like An Early-Stage Tesla\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-12-27 21:09 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4476789-plug-power-stock-promising-business-parallels-with-tesla><strong>Seeking Alpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nThe stock of Plug Power enjoyed some great appreciation during the last years, which seems hard to explain when purely looking at the fundamentals.\nThe stock performance of almost 2,000% over...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4476789-plug-power-stock-promising-business-parallels-with-tesla\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"PLUG":"普拉格能源"},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4476789-plug-power-stock-promising-business-parallels-with-tesla","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1111088353","content_text":"Summary\n\nThe stock of Plug Power enjoyed some great appreciation during the last years, which seems hard to explain when purely looking at the fundamentals.\nThe stock performance of almost 2,000% over the last 5 years is an illustration of the increased momentum of the hydrogen market.\nPlug Power shows some important parallels with Tesla, on which I will elaborate in this article.\nIf the sentiment can remain positive while growth continues, short-term fundamentals might not matter much.\n\nhttp://www.fotogestoeber.de/iStock via Getty Images\nHow can a company in a niche sector which has continuously burned cash over the years have a market capitalization of over $17B?

These storages can be used in times when renewable energy output is lower than demand, and can be saved for days, weeks, or even months, and can even be transported over long distances if needed.\nClean hydrogen is currently used in an expanding number of projects worldwide, and it seems to be a matter of time before the technology is scaled up and costs are brought down.\nCurrently, hydrogen is mostly used in oil refining processes and for the production of fertilizers. Sectors in which it is still hardly used, like transport, buildings, and power generation seem large untapped markets.\n\nAs such, hydrogen could play an important supporting role in the renewable energy transition, supplying markets that are difficult or impractical to reach for batteries.\nPlug Power has a focused strategy, is already an established business in the hydrogen market, and has a large growing number of commercial relationships. This might mean that the company has the potential to become one of the first pure-play hydrogen companies which could transition from a story stock to a large positive cash flow company.\nThe commercial relationships and collaborations which Plug is undertaking are among the most important future drivers of growth for the company, among which are collaborations with Airbus(OTCPK:EADSF),Phillips66(PSX),Acciona(OTCPK:ACXIF),BAE Systems(OTCPK:BAESF),Baker Hughes(BKR), and Brookfield Renewable(BEP).\nParallels with early-stage Tesla\nI think it is very interesting to compare Plug Power with Tesla. This seems to make sense since they were both one of the largest first movers in big markets: EV for Tesla and hydrogen for Plug. Tesla also was (and might still be) a good example of a story stock, with their large promises of electrifying the automotive sector.\nLet us look at the share price development, short percentage, and PS ratio of Tesla during the period from 2010 to the end of 2019:\nData by YCharts\nTesla's development of share price, short interest, and price to sales ratio between 2010 and the end of 2019. (source: YCharts)\nThere are some noticeable differences between the share price development of Plug Power and an earlier-stage Tesla. First of all, from 2012 to 2019, the percentage of Tesla's stock sold short has consistently oscillated around 20%. Plug Power is already under 10% and has moved around 15% for the largest part of the last couple of years. But the biggest difference between the two stocks is probably that the price to sales ratio of Tesla has trended down quickly between 2010 and the end of 2019. Since Plug Power's price to sales ratio is heavily influenced by its recent outlier, let us take a look at a graph comparing the two between 2010 and September of this year:\nData by YCharts\nTesla and Plug Power development price to sales ratio between 2010 and September 2021. (source: YCharts)\nThese two ratios look to have a lot more in common. But as we can already see, after the end of 2019, Tesla's price to sales ratio went sharply up again. The reason for this was, of course, the almost unprecedented skyrocketing of the Tesla stock starting from the end of 2019. This is illustrated in the following graph of what happened to Tesla shares from September 2019 until now:\nData by YCharts\nDevelopment of Tesla share price, short interest, and price to sales ratio between September 2019 and now. (source: YCharts)\nAs the stock price of Tesla skyrocketed, the short percentage went down sharply and the PS ratio went up.\nThe million-dollar question is of course, could this happen to Plug Power as well? Technically, if we look solely at the metrics of Plug compared with the metrics of Tesla just before the stock price exploded, the P/S ratio of Plug is still much too high to expect that the stock could go in the same direction in short order. I also believe that fundamentally, Plug would need to experience some serious growth for the stock to be able to regain its recent upward momentum.\nAnother similarity between Plug and Tesla is that negative earnings surprises have been many at Plug recently, this happened to Tesla as well in 2019. At the time, Tesla's stock price was not negatively impacted by those surprises. Currently, the market seems to shake off Plug Power's results as well, though the stock did drop by more than 50% since last year.\nCurrently, expectations still beat metrics\nLike Tesla, Plug's share price seems to be governed more by growth expectations than by current stock metrics. Thiscouldmean that Plug would be able to go in the same direction as Tesla if enough investors remain convinced that their business model is profitable for the future and if growth can be expected to continue. Also, as for Tesla, in the long term, fundamental metrics will need to correspond with their lofty valuations. This means that the companies will need to deliver on their expectations.\nThese are some very large ifs.\nOf course, the hydrogen market is different from the EV market. Since the energy density of hydrogen is very high, it will likely be able to compete in markets where batteries still have issues, like long-haul transport. On the other hand, on an energy efficiency level, batteries have some large benefits over hydrogen for smaller transport purposes. On aggregate, I am skeptical about hydrogen being able to be a strong competitor in the EV space, but it will likely play a large role in other modes of transport, as in energy storage.\nPlug Power has been trading like a stock for believers, which shows some strong parallels with Tesla. Theoretically, the stock could follow the same direction as Tesla did, but this is anyone's guess and I believe it would take more growth to continue its upward momentum.\nPlug Power is a promising business, but the company had some bad results recently. This did not impact the stock much during the last 2 years. In the short term, the stock price seems to be most impacted by sentiment and not by fundamentals. This makes it a wonderful stock for traders, but as a long-term investor, I am staying on the sidelines.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PLUG":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1861,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691438261,"gmtCreate":1640226321181,"gmtModify":1640228396593,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"hello

②美国三季度实际GDP年化季环比终值 2.3%，较二季度增速大幅放缓；\n\n\n ③供应链称苹果首款电动车Apple Car将于明年9月发布。\n\n\n海外市场\n1、美股指两连涨！纳指涨超1% 特斯拉大涨7.5%\n美股三大指数集体收涨，主要股指连续第二个交易日反弹。美国总统拜登督促民众接种加强针，并表示不会恢复疫情爆发初期实施的严格封锁措施。美国第三季度GDP增长2.3%，好于市场预期。截至收盘，纳斯达克指数涨1.18%，标普500指数涨1.02%，道琼斯指数涨0.74%。\n新能源汽车股表现强势，SonoGroup涨近14%；特斯拉收涨7.5%，创11月1日以来最大单日涨幅，市值当日暴增706.21亿美元(约合人民币4498亿元)。\n小鹏汽车涨超4%，理想汽车涨1.4%。大型科技股集体走高，苹果涨1.53%，亚马逊涨0.36%，Meta跌1.12%，谷歌涨2.05%，微软涨1.81%，奈飞涨1.54%。\n2、热门中概股多数收跌 阿里跌超4%\n阿里巴巴跌超4%，此前阿里云被暂停作为工信部网络安全威胁信息共享平台合作单位\n其他中概股方面，雾芯科技涨超2%，京东微涨；贝壳收平，百度跌近1%，金山云、新东方跌超1%，滴滴跌超6%，好未来跌超3%，搜狐跌超2%。\n3、欧股主要指数上涨，法国CAC40指数涨超1%\n德国DAX30指数收涨0.91%，英国富时100指数涨0.60%，法国CAC40指数涨1.24%，欧洲斯托克50指数涨1.00%。\n4、原油库存降幅超预期 美油收高2.3%\n因美国能源信息署(EIA)报告称美国原油库存降幅超出预期，令油价得到支撑。最终，纽约商品交易所2月交割的西德克萨斯中质原油(WTI)期货价格上涨1.64美元，涨幅为2.3%，收于每桶72.76美元。\n5、黄金期货收高0.8% 站上1800美元关口\n最近黄金期货多次测试1800美元关口，但未能长时间维持在其上方。但在周三，美元走软和美国国债收益率低迷，帮助金价站上这一关口。\n最终，纽约商品交易所2月交割的黄金期货价格上涨13.50美元，涨幅为0.8%，收于每盎司1802.20美元。\n6、土耳其股市连续4个交易日收跌 22日触发一次熔断\n当地时间22日，土耳其伊斯坦布尔100指数开盘报1.832.14点，较前一日收盘下跌3.14%。当地时间14时39分，股指下跌超5%，触发熔断。随后股指持续震荡，当天收盘时跌幅为4.64%。这是土耳其股市连续第四个交易日收跌。\n分析人士指出，土耳其财政和货币政策的不可预测性，让投资者信心受到影响，在这种情况下，很多投资者可能会选择撤离观望。\n由于总统埃尔多安推动货币宽松政策，土耳其央行9月以来已经累计下调基准利率500个基点，而每次下调都使得里拉进一步贬值，和年初相比，里拉跌幅曾一度超过55%。\n国际宏观\n1、拜登声称假日季供应链危机已避免 呼吁通过重建更美好未来法案\n美国总统乔·拜登表示，他的政府与工会和企业一起成功避免了假日季节的供应链危机。\n“今年秋天的时候，我们听到很多关于供应链问题的可怕警告，声称假日前后会出现危机，”拜登在白宫说。 “所以我们采取了行动。我们召集了商界和劳工界的领袖来解决问题。这场被预测很可能发生的危机并未出现。”\n2、美国三季度实际GDP年化季环比终值 2.3%，较二季度增速大幅放缓\n美国三季度实际GDP年化季环比终值 2.3%，预期 2.1%，前值 2.1%，是自2020年第二季度以来的最低增速。三季度增长放缓主要是由于全球供应链紧张导致供应短缺，以及政府向企业、家庭、和地方政府提供的疫情支持资金减少。\n3、美国三季度核心PCE物价指数创近30年新高

克服了Omicron带来的恐慌\n世界大型企业研究会周三的报告显示，消费者信心指数升至115.8，11月数据被向上修正为111.9。接受彭博调查的经济学家预期为111。\n数据显示，尽管随着omicron的传播，美国一些地区实施了新的防疫限制措施，但消费者心态仍乐观。美联储主席鲍威尔和多位经济学家表示，随着美国人对新冠病毒及其变异株的适应性增强，每一波疫情带来的经济影响会变得较小。\n7、世卫组织正在确定第二代新冠疫苗\n世卫组织总干事谭德塞在22日的新闻发布会上透露，世卫组织正在通过疫苗“团结试验”确定第二代新冠疫苗。\n谭德塞表示，相关研究团队于9月下旬开始招募志愿者，到目前为止，已有超过11500人参加了试验。截至目前，该试验包括两种疫苗，另外三种疫苗不久将被纳入，而且还可能纳入更多的疫苗。世卫组织邀请所有国家和研究中心参与这项试验。\n8、美国政府宣布将学生贷款偿还期限延至明年5月1日\n当地时间22日，美国白宫新闻秘书珍·普萨基在简报会上证实，拜登已经宣布将学生贷款的偿还期限延长90天，到明年的5月1日。普萨基说，部分学生贷款的借款人受到新冠肺炎疫情的影响，需要时间偿还。\n9、欧洲能源告急！天然气狂飙新高

However, there is still cause for good cheer and cautious optimism, given recent omicron data out of South Africa, and with many global markets set to close on Friday in observance of Christmas.\nVyacheslav Oseledko/AFP/Getty Images\nThe U.S. Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association recommends a 2 p.m. close for trading in bonds on Thursday, Dec. 23, including the 10-year Treasury note, but there will be no early close for equity markets, per New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq recommendations.\nIn the commodities complex, energy and metals markets will close at their normal times, with trading of metals, including gold futures on Comex, set to end at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, and West Texas Intermediate crude-oil trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange slated to wrap up at 2:30 p.m.\nGlobal financial markets mostly will be closed on Friday, Dec. 31, or Monday, Jan. 3, 2022, in observation of the New Year’s holiday, but U.S. markets won’t.\nFor the first time in a decade, there will be no U.S. stock-market closure in observance of New Year’s Day because of the relatively obscure NYSE Rule 7.2.\nEquity markets are aiming to close out December and 2021 on a high note after volatile trade recently. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was looking at a monthly gain of 3.7%, with a nearly 17% year-to-date advance currently in place; the S&P 500 index was looking at a 2.8% rise in December and an over 25% annual gain, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was on track for a 0.1% decline on the month and a 20% year-to-date rise. That is after withering trade to start this penultimate week of December.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,".SPX":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2461,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":691574213,"gmtCreate":1640225332532,"gmtModify":1640225576088,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"nice","listText":"nice","text":"nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/691574213","repostId":"2193113147","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1842,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":830259749,"gmtCreate":1629077167481,"gmtModify":1633687598456,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/830259749","repostId":"1149115217","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1062,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":898096501,"gmtCreate":1628440504103,"gmtModify":1633747131027,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":6,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/898096501","repostId":"1139912651","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1334,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":893378291,"gmtCreate":1628241761413,"gmtModify":1633752311335,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/893378291","repostId":"1135651416","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1043,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803831083,"gmtCreate":1627431059242,"gmtModify":1633765116708,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like pls","listText":"like pls","text":"like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/803831083","repostId":"2154146679","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1919,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":179440200,"gmtCreate":1626573734000,"gmtModify":1633925798031,"author":{"id":"3586381108588721","authorId":"3586381108588721","name":"NoobZai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/11efd284456355c2f5498832e54042ff","crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586381108588721","idStr":"3586381108588721"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"like","listText":"like","text":"like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/179440200","repostId":"1139907709","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139907709","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1626568617,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139907709?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-18 08:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Wall Street Crime And Punishment: Thomas F.

Indeed, an FBI report from 1983 recalled this firm’s chief focus was being responsible for the “funds of hoodlum-controlled companies.”</p>\n<p>Quinn was on both the FBI’s and SEC’s respective radars in the early 1980s for his role with two companies,<b>Sundance Gold Mining</b>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<b>Aquarius Gold Exploration</b>, that claimed to have discovered gold in Suriname. The companies created a flurry of excitement among investors, but an investigation into their operations found a hitherto undeclared connection with the&nbsp;<b>Genovese crime family.</b></p>\n<p>The SEC filed a civil complaint against Quinn in 1983, charging him with fraudulently manipulating and promoting the companies’ stocks.</p>\n<p>Three years later, he reached a settlement with the regulator by agreeing to permanently stay away from anything related to securities.</p>\n<p>The FBI, despite finding Mafia fingerprints in Quinn’s business affairs, declined to press charges against him.</p>\n<p>Realizing that he wore out his welcome in his home country, Quinn and his common-law wife&nbsp;<b>Rochelle Rothfleisch</b>&nbsp;decided to relocate to France and to up his game to an unprecedented operation.</p>\n<p><b>Boiler Room Follies:</b>The circumstances and details of how Quinn built his swindling masterpiece are a bit fuzzy, but it is believed that the scheme was first hatched in 1984 and was coordinated out of his $6 million villa in the south of France.</p>\n<p>Quinn set up an archipelago of offices in several European countries and in Dubai, Jamaica and the tiny South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu, and he gave them phony names that sounded similar to respectable brokerages.</p>\n<p>Each office was staffed with salesmen who were tasked to sell stocks for 20 U.S. corporations to individual investors around the world. The stocks in question were mostly shell companies trading on the over-the-counter exchanges that Quinn picked up for pennies, but they were resold by Quinn’s salesmen at inflated amounts.</p>\n<p>The investors were culled from mailing lists sold by publishing companies and professional organizations, as well as from respondents to advertisements placed in newsletters focused on the over-the-counter markets.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s henchmen would telephone the investors —&nbsp;nearly all of whom were novices to investing —&nbsp;and do a high-pressure sales spiel that, more often than not, resulted in the separation of the gullible targets from their money.</p>\n<p>Quinn’s team aimed at European, Australian, Middle Eastern and Hong Kong neophyte investors. The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.</p>\n<p><b>A Temporary Setback:</b>&nbsp;In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France&nbsp;saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.</p>\n<p>For starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up.&nbsp;Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered&nbsp;<b>Bank of Credit and Commerce International</b>&nbsp;in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.</p>\n<p>Also, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.</p>\n<p>The SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C.&nbsp;with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.</p>\n<p>In France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.</p>\n<p>He came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison,&nbsp;but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.</p>\n<p>His Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.</p>\n<p><b>An Eventual Stumble:</b>One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich was<b>Martin Frankel,</b>a financier with his own addiction to swindling.</p>\n<p>In 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies —&nbsp;but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.</p>\n<p>Frankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.</p>\n<p>For most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.</p>\n<p>In 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)</p>\n<p>In November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.</p>\n<p>Quinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.</p>\n<p>What became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.</p>\n<p>One information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.</p>\n<p>Quinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities.&nbsp;During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.</p>\n<p>\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief. I'm just trying to get on with my life. I'm not in the securities business and never will be again.\"</p>","source":"lsy1606299360108","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Wall Street Crime And Punishment: Thomas F.

The only country off-limits from this scheme was the U.S. Quinn was already on the FBI’s radar and the last thing he wanted was to give them cause to pursue him anew.\nA Temporary Setback: In 1988, Quinn’s arrest in France saw him charged with securities fraud, forgery of administrative documents and the possession of two fake Greek passports. His detention and the subsequent arrest of 20 of his salesmen created a fascinating dilemma for banking and law enforcement agencies in multiple countries.\nFor starters, no one could easily figure out where the majority of Quinn’s $500 million in ill-gotten gains wound up. Transfers were traced through banks in Switzerland, Luxembourg and Gibraltar, as well as the beleaguered Bank of Credit and Commerce International in Tampa, Florida, which gained national attention as a favored depository for those involved in drug money laundering. But where the money eventually landed was anyone’s guess, and Quinn’s talent for adopting aliases to cover his business tracks confounded investigators.\nAlso, it was unclear regarding how many people were swindled. A pair of class-action lawsuits brought out a total of 500 people trying to regain their money, but some observers of this case speculated the number could have been higher — some investors might have seen Quinn’s scam as a means of evading local taxes and foreign currency exchanges and would then have to answer to their authorities if this chicanery came to light.\nThe SEC got into the picture because the stocks being sold in the scheme were all U.S. companies. The agency hosted a meeting in Washington D.C. with law enforcement officers and prosecutors from eight European countries and Australia, with the hopes of sorting out the mess. But since no Americans were defrauded in this elaborate charade, Quinn did not face criminal charges in his own country, although the SEC temporarily froze his U.S. assets.\nIn France, Quinn was initially released after agreeing to reimburse his French victims but was arrested again when the Swiss government demanded his extradition.\nHe came to trial in 1991 and was only sentenced to four years in prison, but his sentence was reduced to include time served and he was extradited to Switzerland.\nHis Alpine detention was brief and by the mid-1990s he returned to the U.S. and rented a luxury home in Greenwich, Connecticut, a swanky suburb of New York City.\nAn Eventual Stumble:One of Quinn’s neighbors in Greenwich wasMartin Frankel,a financier with his own addiction to swindling.\nIn 1999, the Wall Street Journal used anonymous “people familiar with the matter” to claim Quinn assisted Frankel in his efforts to raise money for a controlled investment fund designed to buy insurance companies — but this turned out to be an embezzlement scam that resulted in Frankel fleeing the U.S. to Germany on a phony passport.\nFrankel was eventually extradited and spent nearly two decades in prison, but Quinn was never charged for being a partner in Frankel’s shenanigans.\nFor most of the 1990s and the 2000s, Quinn kept a very low public profile, although law enforcement tracked his travels to such far-flung places as the Maldives and the United Arab Emirates.\nIn 2004, he made a rare appearance at the Irish Derby as the co-owner of the winning thoroughbred Grey Swallow. Photographs of Quinn with the winning racehorse marked the only time that he was ever photographed in a public gathering. (Copyright restrictions prevent us from reprinting the photograph here, butthis linkon the RTE website shows Quinn, standing second from right, at the conclusion of the championship race.)\nIn November 2009, Quinn’s luck finally ran out. On a trip back from Ireland to New York’s JFK International Airport, he was arrested for his role within a ring of embezzlers that sought to defraud a pair of British telecommunications companies out of more than $60 million. The scheme had the global hallmarks of Quinn’s earlier criminal triumph, with funds being disbursed to seven countries across four continents.\nQuinn was immediately jailed upon his arrest and was denied bail because it was feared he would attempt to flee the country. He eventually pleaded guilty to a single count of wire fraud and, despite exhortations to avoid prison due to health problems, he was sentenced in March 2013 to 84 months in prison. He was released in May 2016.\nWhat became of Quinn since his release is unknown. No obituary for him has been published, and he would be 89 years old if he is still alive.\nOne information-tracking website listed him residing at a Brooklyn address, but the website also listed an accompanying telephone number that is not in service. Any readers who may have information on Quinn’s whereabouts should contact us and we will offer an update on his story.\nQuinn rarely spoke to anyone about his criminal activities. During an investigative session after his final arrest, he reportedly would only answer questions through a series of eyelid blinks. When a reporter sought to interview him in 1995, he demanded his privacy.\n\"Just forget me,\" Quinn said. \"I've got a lot of trouble and a lot of personal grief. I'm just trying to get on with my life. I'm not in the securities business and never will be again.\"","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":795,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"defaultTab":"followers","isTTM":false}
