Let me tell you why I’d buy them still.</p>\n<p>As it turned out, all five performed better over the past year than anyone dreamed. Last week, the five reported March-quarter earnings—the fourth full quarter since Covid-era lockdowns began early last year. All five crushed Street expectations on both the top and&nbsp;bottom lines. As a group, the Big Five grew March-quarter revenue by a combined 41%. Over the past four quarters, they expanded revenue by a combined 27%, growing their businesses by an aggregate $250 billion.</p>\n<p>Facebook (ticker: FB),with sales up 48%, and Microsoft (MSFT),up 19%, had their fastest growth in any quarter since 2018. Apple (AAPL), up 54%, and Alphabet (GOOGL), up 34%, had their best growth since 2012. And Amazon (AMZN), up 44%, had its best quarter since 2011.</p>\n<p>Now to be clear, these remarkable performances haven’t gone unrecognized. Since I wrote that piece, the five stocks have gains that vary from 85% for Microsoft to 135% for Apple. And while they aren’t the raging bargains of a year ago, there’s a case to be made that there are no better stocks to play the most important shifts in tech. Keep focused on these six trends:</p>\n<p><b>There’s no stopping the cloud:</b>Revenue in the March quarter was up 50% for Microsoft Azure, 46% for Google Cloud, and 32% for market leader Amazon Web Services. These businesses have become the modern data center. There’s no reason to think growth will slow any time soon. Were they stand-alone businesses, they would be the three largest enterprise-software pure plays on Earth.</p>\n<p><b>PCs are back:</b>The work/learn/play from home trend drove dramatic growth in personal computer sales over the past year.Gartner&nbsp;says that first-quarter PC sales were up 32%, the best growth in two decades.</p>\n<p>It is tempting to argue for a reversal, but there is growing evidence that many companies won’t go back to their previous work styles.Shopify&nbsp;(SHOP) President Harley Finkelstein told&nbsp;Barron’s&nbsp;last week that he’s not planning to ever work regularly from the e-commerce software company’s Ottawa headquarters again—and that decentralizing the workforce is allowing Shopify to hire people he’d never lure to Canada. That kind of thinking will keep demand for laptops, tablets, and related accessories red hot. Apple last week said its guidance for the June quarter could have been $3 billion to $4 billion higher were it not supply constrained in Macs and iPads; Mac sales were up 70% in the March quarter.Logitech&nbsp;(LOGI), which makes accessories for PCs and videogames, grew 117% in the March quarter.</p>\n<p><b>E-commerce won’t slow:</b>Amazon had 41% growth in its core online-retailing business in the March quarter, with 60% growth in third-party seller services. Shopify’s sales were up 110% in the quarter, and Finkelstein notes that e-commerce is under 25% of total retail sales in the U.S. and Canada, leaving plenty of room for growth. Finkelstein also says that in Australia and New Zealand, where economies are further along in reopening, Shopify’s customers are seeing no signs of slowing online sales. Meanwhile, Facebook this past week said its Marketplace business now has one billion users.</p>\n<p><b>Advertising is back:</b>Early in the pandemic, it looked like Facebook and Alphabet would be badly hurt by a falloff in advertising, as key verticals such as travel and retail pulled back. But that’s over: Facebook’s revenue in the quarter beat Street estimates by almost $2.5 billion, while Alphabet topped consensus by $3.7 billion. Amazon’s “other” revenue category, almost entirely its ad business, was up 72% in the quarter. As the economy reopens, retailers, restaurants, airlines, hotels, and other businesses that suffered are going to be pushing to aggressively lure back customers. And the recovery is just getting started.</p>\n<p><b>Chips and dips</b>: Apple isn’t the only company seeing supply constraints mute growth. Juniper CEO Rami Rahim last week told me that while the networking-hardware company has enough inventory to meet its guidance, lead times are stretching out. Seagate CFO Gianluca Romano notes that the company is carrying extra component inventory to cushion against shortages. Western Digital CEO Dave Goeckeler says his company has responded to growing demand for flash memory by lifting prices on a weekly or even daily basis for devices sold through retail stores or distributors—a move that contributed to blowout March-quarter earnings.</p>\n<p><b>What could go wrong:</b>Well, lots. Earnings comparisons will become hellacious. Some analysts think Apple’s fiscal 2022 sales growth could go negative. Facebook is forecasting slower second-half ad growth, cautioning that it faces regulatory issues and Apple’s crackdown on apps that track consumer activity on the web. Tech regulation is nearing the top of the Biden administration’s to-do list.

Let me tell you why I’d buy them still.\nAs it turned out, all five performed better over the past year than anyone dreamed. Last week, the five reported March-quarter earnings—the fourth full quarter since Covid-era lockdowns began early last year. All five crushed Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines. As a group, the Big Five grew March-quarter revenue by a combined 41%. Over the past four quarters, they expanded revenue by a combined 27%, growing their businesses by an aggregate $250 billion.\nFacebook (ticker: FB),with sales up 48%, and Microsoft (MSFT),up 19%, had their fastest growth in any quarter since 2018. Apple (AAPL), up 54%, and Alphabet (GOOGL), up 34%, had their best growth since 2012. And Amazon (AMZN), up 44%, had its best quarter since 2011.\nNow to be clear, these remarkable performances haven’t gone unrecognized. Since I wrote that piece, the five stocks have gains that vary from 85% for Microsoft to 135% for Apple. And while they aren’t the raging bargains of a year ago, there’s a case to be made that there are no better stocks to play the most important shifts in tech. Keep focused on these six trends:\nThere’s no stopping the cloud:Revenue in the March quarter was up 50% for Microsoft Azure, 46% for Google Cloud, and 32% for market leader Amazon Web Services. These businesses have become the modern data center. There’s no reason to think growth will slow any time soon. Were they stand-alone businesses, they would be the three largest enterprise-software pure plays on Earth.\nPCs are back:The work/learn/play from home trend drove dramatic growth in personal computer sales over the past year.Gartner says that first-quarter PC sales were up 32%, the best growth in two decades.\nIt is tempting to argue for a reversal, but there is growing evidence that many companies won’t go back to their previous work styles.Shopify (SHOP) President Harley Finkelstein told Barron’s last week that he’s not planning to ever work regularly from the e-commerce software company’s Ottawa headquarters again—and that decentralizing the workforce is allowing Shopify to hire people he’d never lure to Canada. That kind of thinking will keep demand for laptops, tablets, and related accessories red hot. Apple last week said its guidance for the June quarter could have been $3 billion to $4 billion higher were it not supply constrained in Macs and iPads; Mac sales were up 70% in the March quarter.Logitech (LOGI), which makes accessories for PCs and videogames, grew 117% in the March quarter.\nE-commerce won’t slow:Amazon had 41% growth in its core online-retailing business in the March quarter, with 60% growth in third-party seller services. Shopify’s sales were up 110% in the quarter, and Finkelstein notes that e-commerce is under 25% of total retail sales in the U.S. and Canada, leaving plenty of room for growth. Finkelstein also says that in Australia and New Zealand, where economies are further along in reopening, Shopify’s customers are seeing no signs of slowing online sales. Meanwhile, Facebook this past week said its Marketplace business now has one billion users.\nAdvertising is back:Early in the pandemic, it looked like Facebook and Alphabet would be badly hurt by a falloff in advertising, as key verticals such as travel and retail pulled back. But that’s over: Facebook’s revenue in the quarter beat Street estimates by almost $2.5 billion, while Alphabet topped consensus by $3.7 billion. Amazon’s “other” revenue category, almost entirely its ad business, was up 72% in the quarter. As the economy reopens, retailers, restaurants, airlines, hotels, and other businesses that suffered are going to be pushing to aggressively lure back customers. And the recovery is just getting started.\nChips and dips: Apple isn’t the only company seeing supply constraints mute growth. Juniper CEO Rami Rahim last week told me that while the networking-hardware company has enough inventory to meet its guidance, lead times are stretching out. Seagate CFO Gianluca Romano notes that the company is carrying extra component inventory to cushion against shortages. Western Digital CEO Dave Goeckeler says his company has responded to growing demand for flash memory by lifting prices on a weekly or even daily basis for devices sold through retail stores or distributors—a move that contributed to blowout March-quarter earnings.\nWhat could go wrong:Well, lots. Earnings comparisons will become hellacious. Some analysts think Apple’s fiscal 2022 sales growth could go negative. Facebook is forecasting slower second-half ad growth, cautioning that it faces regulatory issues and Apple’s crackdown on apps that track consumer activity on the web. Tech regulation is nearing the top of the Biden administration’s to-do list. Labor Secretary Marty Walsh last week said gig drivers should be classified as employees, which triggered a selloff inUber Technologies (UBER),Lyft (LYFT), and DoorDash (DASH) shares. And Covid still poses serious threats, raging in India, Brazil, and other key markets. But I’m not backing off my original bullish call on the tech giants, just tweaking it: There are no better plays for the postpandemic world.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":241,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108192795,"gmtCreate":1620003748117,"gmtModify":1704337165102,"author":{"id":"3571277384520057","authorId":"3571277384520057","name":"ChingKH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ec035acff89a8701ee0a3271a80c157","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571277384520057","authorIdStr":"3571277384520057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good advice","listText":"Good advice","text":"Good advice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108192795","repostId":"2132971595","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132971595","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1620000529,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132971595?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 08:08","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Analysis-In Apple versus Epic Games, courtroom battle is only half the fight","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132971595","media":"Reuters","summary":"SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Epic Games faces an uphill legal battle against Apple Inc in an antitrust ","content":"<p>SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Epic Games faces an uphill legal battle against Apple Inc in an antitrust trial starting Monday, and a defeat for the maker of \"Fortnite\" could make it harder for U.S. government regulators to pursue a similar case against the iPhone maker, legal experts said.</p>\n<p>But win or lose at the trial, Epic, which has pursued an aggressive public relations campaign against Apple alongside its court pleadings, may have already accomplished a major goal: Drawing Apple squarely into the global debate over whether and how massive technology companies should be regulated.</p>\n<p>Apple has mostly succeeded in staying out of the regulatory crosshairs by arguing that the iPhone is a niche product in a smartphone world dominated by Google's Android operating system.

Apple is abusing that power, Epic argues, by forcing developers to use Apple's in-app payment systems - which charge commissions of up to 30% - and to submit to app-review guidelines the gaming company says discriminate against products that compete with Apple's own.\n\"It's not a super-strong suit - I don't think they are likely to win,\" said Rebecca Haw Allensworth, a law professor at Vanderbilt Law School. \"But it has already achieved a lot of its purpose, which is drawing attention to some of Apple's practices that many developers see as abusive.\"\nUPHILL BATTLE\nEpic's arguments draw on major antitrust cases against Microsoft, Eastman Kodak and American Express, but apply those precedents in new ways that have not been tested in U.S. courts, legal experts said.\nFor example, in arguing that iPhones are a software market unto themselves, Epic relies partly on a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court decision that rejected efforts by Kodak to force owners of its copying machines to use Kodak repair services.\nSpencer Waller, a competition law professor at the Loyola University Chicago School of Law, said the Kodak decision has had mixed success in subsequent cases.\n\"Plaintiffs are often unsuccessful because courts read Kodak narrowly at times,” Waller said.\nEpic also faces hurdles in its contention that Apple's in-app payment commissions are too high at 30% and could be as much as 10 times lower if market forces prevailed. American courts have been reluctant to dive into setting specific rates, in large part because unlike Europe, the prevailing interpretation of U.S. antitrust law does not consider a dominant firm charging high prices to be anticompetitive in itself.\nApple argues that whatever dominant position it may have in mobile software is an outgrowth of its creation of both the iPhone and a curated App Store that makes consumer comfortable.\n\"If you obtained a monopoly legitimately, you're allowed to charge high prices,\" said Randal Picker, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School.\nRegardless of who wins at the trial expected to last three weeks before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, the case is all-but-certain to be appealed to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which last year reinforced the notion that dominant firms can charge high prices in a case involving Qualcomm Inc.\n\"Anticompetitive behavior is illegal under federal antitrust law. Hypercompetitive behavior is not,\" Circuit Judge Consuelo Callahan wrote in the court's opinion.\nA federal antitrust official, speaking anonymously because the official was not authorized to speak to the media, said that an Epic loss would dim the chances of the government pursuing a similar lawsuit against Apple.\nBREWING ANTITRUST DEBATE\nEpic's suit has ramped up pressure on Apple in the court of public opinion at a time when the iPhone maker's business practices are facing fresh scrutiny around the world.\nThe U.S. Department of Justice is probing the company's practices, Reuters has reported, and regulators in the United Kingdom and Australia have opened probes or called for regulation.\nEuropean Union regulators last week accused Apple of distorting competition in the music streaming market, siding with Spotify Technology in the zone's first major anti-competition charge against Apple.\nEpic advertisements decrying Apple for taking such a big cut of revenue are landing aside those headlines.\n\"The public can understand these issues, and in many ways understand them better than these judges who have never played a game in their life,\" said Thomas Horton, a professor at the University of South Dakota School of Law.\nThe biggest threat to Apple's App Store is not lawsuits, but rather new laws regulating digital platforms, said Joel Mitnick, a partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft and a former U.S. Federal Trade Commission trial lawyer.\nEuropean lawmakers have already proposed legislation that could require Apple to allow developers to use their own payment systems, and consensus for new regulations is building in the United States as well.\nMitnick noted that concern about the power of big tech companies was bipartisan.\n“If it were me, I would be looking at ways in which I could influence what might be inevitable changes to the rules under which (Apple) are going to operate,” he said.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":257,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108192617,"gmtCreate":1620003732039,"gmtModify":1704337163448,"author":{"id":"3571277384520057","authorId":"3571277384520057","name":"ChingKH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ec035acff89a8701ee0a3271a80c157","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571277384520057","authorIdStr":"3571277384520057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good advice","listText":"Good advice","text":"Good advice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108192617","repostId":"1161792033","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":670,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108198854,"gmtCreate":1620003619878,"gmtModify":1704337161796,"author":{"id":"3571277384520057","authorId":"3571277384520057","name":"ChingKH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ec035acff89a8701ee0a3271a80c157","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571277384520057","authorIdStr":"3571277384520057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Followed","listText":"Followed","text":"Followed","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108198854","repostId":"2132593472","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":591,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108198011,"gmtCreate":1620003606533,"gmtModify":1704337160651,"author":{"id":"3571277384520057","authorId":"3571277384520057","name":"ChingKH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ec035acff89a8701ee0a3271a80c157","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571277384520057","authorIdStr":"3571277384520057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Followed","listText":"Followed","text":"Followed","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108198011","repostId":"1135819410","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1135819410","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1619999342,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1135819410?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 07:49","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Uber, Pfizer, PayPal, T-Mobile, ViacomCBS, General Motors, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1135819410","media":"Barrons","summary":"It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&P 500 companies on deck to release their fi","content":"<p>It’s another packed week of earnings reports, with 130 S&amp;P 500 companies on deck to release their first-quarter results.

Photographer: Daniel Acker/Bloomberg</span></p><p>There was no digital confetti, and no free stock for joining either. Nevertheless, the Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger show out in Los Angeles proved to be good theatre —&nbsp;filled with wit and wisdom from two of the world’s most successful investors.</p><p>The occasion was the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. annual meeting — a virtual affair this year —&nbsp;and&nbsp;Buffett, 90, and Munger, his&nbsp;97-year-old longtime business partner, set out to be voices of reason and sanity in an investment landscape looking more surreal by the day (SPACs, anyone? Maybe with&nbsp;an NFT&nbsp;thrown in?).</p><p>Here are some of the takeaways from Saturday’s event that apply to the investing world and beyond.</p><p><b>Mega-cap tech stock valuations are not “crazy.”</b>&nbsp;The reason: Incredibly low rates on short-term government debt, or Treasuries — which are “the risk-free yardstick against which other values are measured,” said Buffett.</p><p>“Interest rates basically&nbsp;are to the value of assets what gravity is to matter” — and the rate on short-term Treasuries is really nothing today, the Berkshire Hathaway chairman said.</p><p>If Treasury rates&nbsp;are really supposed to be this low, those high-flying tech shares are a bargain, Buffett said (and that is one&nbsp;big “if”). That view contrasts with the prevailing wisdom in the market, which is that&nbsp;tech-stock valuations are extreme.</p><p>“The Googles and Apples are incredible in terms of what they earn on capital,” Buffett said. “They don’t require a lot of capital, and they gush out more money.”</p><p><b>Successful stock-picking&nbsp;is actually quite hard.</b>&nbsp;Buffett put up a slide of the 20 stocks from around the world with the largest market&nbsp;capitalizations. Five of the six were U.S. companies — Apple Inc. at the top, at about $2 trillion, with&nbsp;Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc. holding the No. 3, 4, 5 and 6 slots. (No. 2 was Saudi Aramco.)</p><p>Then Buffett&nbsp;asked the audience to think about how many of those companies they would expect to be around in 30 years — maybe five, maybe eight?&nbsp;Then he showed a slide with the same information — but from 30 years ago.&nbsp;None of the stocks from the 2021 slide were on it.</p><p>“I would guess that very few of you would have said zero, and I don’t think it will be, but it’s a reminder of what extraordinary things can happen,” he said. “The world can change in very dramatic ways.”</p><p>Even if you understand the promise of an industry — like&nbsp;the birth of the automobile — you need to choose the winner in that industry. “There’s a lot more to picking stocks than figuring out&nbsp;what’s going to be a wonderful industry in the future,” said Buffett.&nbsp;“I do not think the average person can pick stocks.”</p><p><b>Beware appeals to your gambling instinct:</b>“American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put and save their money but they also make terrific gambling chips,”&nbsp;Buffett said.</p><p>He suspects that a lot of the short-term options trading in Apple’s stock comes from young traders on&nbsp;Robinhood, the popular trading app that’s drawn millions of rookie investors.&nbsp;Buffett isn’t saying gambling itself is shameful — he called it a “very human instinct” — but he said “I don’t think you’d build a society around doing it.”</p><p>As more people enter the casino than leave it, “it creates its own reality for a while and nobody tells you when the clock is going to strike 12 and it all turns to pumpkins and mice,”&nbsp;he said.</p><p><b>Index funds are the answer for most investors.</b>The fact that it’s so hard to predict what kind of tremendous change there will be in the world&nbsp;is a great argument for diversified index funds, Buffett said.</p><p>The billionaire has&nbsp;advised the trustee of his will that when he passes, 90% of his bequest to his wife — now in Berkshire stock — should be in a stock index fund like the S&amp;P 500, and 10% in Treasury bills.</p><p><b>Sometimes the best investment is in yourself.</b>&nbsp;Or at least, in what you know best. And no&nbsp;one knows Berkshire’s intrinsic value&nbsp;better than Buffett.</p><p>With a cash pile of more than $145 billion at the end of the 2021’s first quarter, Buffett bought back some $6.6 billion in Berkshire shares during the first quarter. The pace of buybacks has been decelerating from prior quarters, however.</p><p>Buffett used to describe share buybacks as basically an accounting gimmick, as something&nbsp;done in order to goose a stock price, and often done without enough price discipline. He’s typically wanted to deploy cash in big acquisitions or stock purchases.</p><p>But in 2018 he loosened his buyback policy as Berkshire’s cash kept growing.&nbsp;“We can’t buy companies as cheap as we buy our own and we can’t buy stocks as cheap as our own,” Buffett said.</p><p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a669da1d954bdbd212e1e46f8fe2e681\" tg-width=\"958\" tg-height=\"534\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p><p><b>Never say never.</b>Buffett stayed largely away from tech stocks for many years, saying he didn’t understand their business models.&nbsp;Now Apple&nbsp;is a huge holding — Berkshire owns just over 5%.</p><p>Even so, Buffett doesn’t describe Apple&nbsp;in tech-y terms. “I feel that I understand Apple and its future with consumers around the world,” he said.</p><p>“Apple has fantastic management — Tim Cook was under appreciated for a long time, and he has a product that people absolutely love,”&nbsp;he said. “There’s an installed base of people and they get satisfaction rates of like 99%.”</p><p><b>It’s okay to&nbsp;admit mistakes.</b>There werea lot of mea culpas at the annual meeting. Buffett admitted that it likely was a mistake to sell some Apple stock last year, and that he learned a lot of lessons from a failed healthcare venture with JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.&nbsp;and Amazon.</p><p><b>Pick your public battles wisely.</b>Buffett has been a Bitcoin skeptic.</p><p>When asked for his views on cryptocurrency&nbsp;at the annual meeting, he dodged the question. “We’ve probably got&nbsp;hundreds of thousands of people watching this that own Bitcoin, and we’ve probably got two people that are short,” he said. “So we have a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, or making two people happy, and that’s just a dumb equation.”</p><p>Munger, however, let it rip. “I don't welcome currency that is so useful to kidnappers and extortionists,” he said.</p><p><b>Guard your competitive edge.</b>One questioner asked if Buffett’s famed portfolio managers at the company, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, might have a higher public profile in the future. “They are assets of Berkshire, and there is no reason for them to be out there educating other people on how to compete with us,” he said.</p><p><b>Cultivate optimism.</b>Buffett is a pretty cheery person, often extolling the virtues of capitalism.

Photographer: Daniel Acker/BloombergThere was no digital confetti, and no free stock for joining either. Nevertheless, the Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger show out in Los Angeles proved to be good theatre — filled with wit and wisdom from two of the world’s most successful investors.The occasion was the Berkshire Hathaway Inc. annual meeting — a virtual affair this year — and Buffett, 90, and Munger, his 97-year-old longtime business partner, set out to be voices of reason and sanity in an investment landscape looking more surreal by the day (SPACs, anyone? Maybe with an NFT thrown in?).Here are some of the takeaways from Saturday’s event that apply to the investing world and beyond.Mega-cap tech stock valuations are not “crazy.” The reason: Incredibly low rates on short-term government debt, or Treasuries — which are “the risk-free yardstick against which other values are measured,” said Buffett.“Interest rates basically are to the value of assets what gravity is to matter” — and the rate on short-term Treasuries is really nothing today, the Berkshire Hathaway chairman said.If Treasury rates are really supposed to be this low, those high-flying tech shares are a bargain, Buffett said (and that is one big “if”). That view contrasts with the prevailing wisdom in the market, which is that tech-stock valuations are extreme.“The Googles and Apples are incredible in terms of what they earn on capital,” Buffett said. “They don’t require a lot of capital, and they gush out more money.”Successful stock-picking is actually quite hard. Buffett put up a slide of the 20 stocks from around the world with the largest market capitalizations. Five of the six were U.S. companies — Apple Inc. at the top, at about $2 trillion, with Microsoft Corp., Amazon.com Inc., Google parent Alphabet Inc. and Facebook Inc. holding the No. 3, 4, 5 and 6 slots. (No. 2 was Saudi Aramco.)Then Buffett asked the audience to think about how many of those companies they would expect to be around in 30 years — maybe five, maybe eight? Then he showed a slide with the same information — but from 30 years ago. None of the stocks from the 2021 slide were on it.“I would guess that very few of you would have said zero, and I don’t think it will be, but it’s a reminder of what extraordinary things can happen,” he said. “The world can change in very dramatic ways.”Even if you understand the promise of an industry — like the birth of the automobile — you need to choose the winner in that industry. “There’s a lot more to picking stocks than figuring out what’s going to be a wonderful industry in the future,” said Buffett. “I do not think the average person can pick stocks.”Beware appeals to your gambling instinct:“American corporations have turned out to be a wonderful place for people to put and save their money but they also make terrific gambling chips,” Buffett said.He suspects that a lot of the short-term options trading in Apple’s stock comes from young traders on Robinhood, the popular trading app that’s drawn millions of rookie investors. Buffett isn’t saying gambling itself is shameful — he called it a “very human instinct” — but he said “I don’t think you’d build a society around doing it.”As more people enter the casino than leave it, “it creates its own reality for a while and nobody tells you when the clock is going to strike 12 and it all turns to pumpkins and mice,” he said.Index funds are the answer for most investors.The fact that it’s so hard to predict what kind of tremendous change there will be in the world is a great argument for diversified index funds, Buffett said.The billionaire has advised the trustee of his will that when he passes, 90% of his bequest to his wife — now in Berkshire stock — should be in a stock index fund like the S&P 500, and 10% in Treasury bills.Sometimes the best investment is in yourself. Or at least, in what you know best. And no one knows Berkshire’s intrinsic value better than Buffett.With a cash pile of more than $145 billion at the end of the 2021’s first quarter, Buffett bought back some $6.6 billion in Berkshire shares during the first quarter. The pace of buybacks has been decelerating from prior quarters, however.Buffett used to describe share buybacks as basically an accounting gimmick, as something done in order to goose a stock price, and often done without enough price discipline. He’s typically wanted to deploy cash in big acquisitions or stock purchases.But in 2018 he loosened his buyback policy as Berkshire’s cash kept growing. “We can’t buy companies as cheap as we buy our own and we can’t buy stocks as cheap as our own,” Buffett said.Never say never.Buffett stayed largely away from tech stocks for many years, saying he didn’t understand their business models. Now Apple is a huge holding — Berkshire owns just over 5%.Even so, Buffett doesn’t describe Apple in tech-y terms. “I feel that I understand Apple and its future with consumers around the world,” he said.“Apple has fantastic management — Tim Cook was under appreciated for a long time, and he has a product that people absolutely love,” he said. “There’s an installed base of people and they get satisfaction rates of like 99%.”It’s okay to admit mistakes.There werea lot of mea culpas at the annual meeting. Buffett admitted that it likely was a mistake to sell some Apple stock last year, and that he learned a lot of lessons from a failed healthcare venture with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Amazon.Pick your public battles wisely.Buffett has been a Bitcoin skeptic.When asked for his views on cryptocurrency at the annual meeting, he dodged the question. “We’ve probably got hundreds of thousands of people watching this that own Bitcoin, and we’ve probably got two people that are short,” he said. “So we have a choice of making 400,000 people mad at us and unhappy, or making two people happy, and that’s just a dumb equation.”Munger, however, let it rip. “I don't welcome currency that is so useful to kidnappers and extortionists,” he said.Guard your competitive edge.One questioner asked if Buffett’s famed portfolio managers at the company, Todd Combs and Ted Weschler, might have a higher public profile in the future. “They are assets of Berkshire, and there is no reason for them to be out there educating other people on how to compete with us,” he said.Cultivate optimism.Buffett is a pretty cheery person, often extolling the virtues of capitalism. He recommends a sort of even keel approach to life: “In 62 years, Charlie and I have never gotten into an argument, never got mad at each other,” Buffett said.Studies have shown that optimists have a better quality of life than pessimists, and people high in optimism have a better quality of life than those less optimistic. The only problem with this observation? Charlie Munger is 97, and his world view can sometimes be bleak. But his views on Berkshire and Buffett? Very optimistic.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":670,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":108198854,"gmtCreate":1620003619878,"gmtModify":1704337161796,"author":{"id":"3571277384520057","authorId":"3571277384520057","name":"ChingKH","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0ec035acff89a8701ee0a3271a80c157","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3571277384520057","authorIdStr":"3571277384520057"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Followed","listText":"Followed","text":"Followed","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/108198854","repostId":"2132593472","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2132593472","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1620003446,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2132593472?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-05-03 08:57","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla allows six more months to start German gigafactory-Automobilwoche","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2132593472","media":"Reuters","summary":"Tesla CEO Elon Musk has given its German team six more months to start production at its delayed fac","content":"<p>Tesla CEO Elon Musk has given its German team six more months to start production at its delayed factory near Berlin, its first gigafactory in Europe, German weekly Automobilwoche reported, citing company sources.</p>\n<p>A Tesla spokeswoman declined to comment on the report, referring to last month's official statement by the carmaker that put the start of production at the Gruenheide site towards the end of 2021.</p>\n<p>Initially, Tesla had planned to start production on July 1, 2021, but red tape and plans to also build a battery cell factory on the site have delayed the project.</p>\n<p>Tesla last month slammed lengthy regulatory processes in Europe's largest economy, saying its approval framework \"directly contradicts the urgency to plan and realise such projects that is necessary to battle climate change\".</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
