Almost Everyone Is Online: But Most of the Money Isn’t / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
Ottawa sure is a long way from Silicon Valley. In the summer of 2010, Tobi Lütke met with venture capitalists at Bessemer Ventures. He was looking for a couple million bucks to fund his money-losing Canadian startup. Cash was so tight Lütke’s father-in-law had to write checks to pay the employees.
Bessemer was skeptical at first. A tech startup in bitterly cold Ottawa? But they took the plunge with a $7 million cash injection, valuing the startup at $25 million.
Guess What Shopify (SHOP) Is Worth Today?
It’s Canada’s largest company, valued at $160 billion. Longtime RiskHedge readers know I called Shopify “the next great trillion-dollar stock.”

Intel Rocket Lake EXPLODE on Launch - 11th Gen CPU's RUN VERY HOT Bad Cinebench R20 Scores / Companies / INTEL
By: HGR
Anandtech has let the cat out of the bag some 3 weeks early! breaking Intel's embargo that's keeping the big tech toobers mouths tightly closed on their 11th Gen CPU's that were supposed to be the answer to AMD's highly successful Zen 3 5000 CPU's.
Unfortunately just as many techies were expecting Intel's 8 core 14+++++ nanometre CPU's are a big fat FAIL, if it were a rocket then it would have exploded on LAUNCH!
Even at stock settings Intel's rocket lake 8 core processors under load RUN VERY HOT At over 80c, which is not surprising given they consume an eye watering 225watts of power for an 8 core processor, even worse are spikes to over 290watts! Compare that against a 5950x with TWICE the cores that consumes 225watts so it's no wonder that Intel dropped the core count from 10th gen 10 cores to 11th gen's 8 cores.

AI Tech Stocks Investing 2021 Buy Ratings, Levels and Valuations Explained / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
My last look at AI stocks buying levels late November 2020 had some of the must own AI stocks trading at high valuations for instance Apple was trading on an EC of 76 against a target of 50, Nvidia on 173 against about 100! Whilst IBM was dirt cheap on -3, so I could not resist buying more where I am sure several years from now many investors will be kicking themselves for not having had the foresight to pick up IBM when it was trading so cheaply. Next I picked up some more Google as numero uno and Facebook given it's continuing VR market success despite the dying lame stream media lobbying governments to get the tech giants to share ad revenues with them. And I also sought to pick up some Amazon on trading below $3000.

As well as looking to pick up some more AMD given its moderating valuation in response to unlimited demand for it's CPU's. With Nvidia still a little pricey to prompt fresh buying despite the success of it's RTX 3000 series of GPU's that literally allows Nvidia to PRINT MONEY! Sell as many GPU processors as it can produce (most Nvidia GPU's are made by third parties using their GPU processors).

There’s A “Chip” Shortage: And TSMC Holds All The Cards / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
“You drove 1,000 miles just for this game?” Christmas 1988 was a stressful time for many American parents. Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. 2 was the must-have toy that year. But copies of the hit videogame were as scarce as hen’s teeth.
ABC News ran a 20/20 special on the shortage called “Nuts for Nintendo.” They chatted to one dad who drove 1,000 miles from Indiana to NYC in the hopes of grabbing a copy.
“I’ve tried 7 stores a day for 3 weeks and still can’t find it,” he told reporters. They called it a “chip famine.”
Why was it so hard to get your hands on a video game? Longtime RiskHedge readers know computer chips, also called semiconductors, are the “brains” of electronics. There would be no iPhone, Amazon Webstore, or online messaging apps without them.

Why I’m Avoiding These “Bottle Rocket” Stocks Like GameStop / Companies / Investing 2021
By: Stephen_McBride
Should I be investing? What are the “hot” stocks? How much money do I need? Stephen! HELP!
My phone’s been lighting up over the past few weeks. Old friends from college who I haven’t talked to in years are texting me about stocks—for the first time ever. I’m not surprised. They’ve been seeing “GameStop short squeeze” and similar headlines plastered across their Facebook and Twitter feeds 24/7.
They’re intrigued. They’re confused. They want to know how they can get rich! One even asked if he should put $5,000 into GameStop (GME) after it had already surged a mind-boggling 1,900%. I told him not to touch it.
He would have gotten taken to the cleaners (and probably scared off from ever investing again). As you’ve probably seen, shares have fallen off a cliff recently, crashing 85%. Which would have shrunk his $5K into less than $600—in a matter of days.

Five reasons why a financial advisor can make a big difference to your small business / Companies / SME
By: Sumeet_Manhas
As a small business owner, accurate financial planning and strategic budgeting will help you spend your investments wisely. And spending wisely will help you achieve the growth you want for your company in the long run. Therefore, hiring a financial advisor can be invaluable. But many people have been misled when it comes to financial advisors. They may believe that advisors charge huge fees and may even have ruled out hiring one to save money – which is counterintuitive given the savings that financial advisors can achieve for you. It’s especially easy to rule out hiring a financial advisor if you think you can manage your finances effectively alone. But this is unlikely. We don’t fix our own electrical devices, make our own clothes, or build our own computers – yet many of us do take on our own finances.
Financial advisors have a wealth of experience and knowledge that the rest of us don’t have. That’s why hiring a professional allows you peace of mind while you get the most out of your advisor’s knowledge and enjoy complete financial protection. If one thing’s for certain, it’s the fact that hiring the right person will save you money. In fact, the International Longevity Centre (ILC) think-tank concludes that those who seek professional financial advice save an average of £40,000 in total, compared to those who don’t take financial advice at all.

Apple M1 SOC Chip Crushing Intel in 2021 / Companies / Apple
By: HGR
Apples EC has rocketed higher to 76 up from 55. which on face value makes Apple an expensive stock to buy right now. However, when one actually looks under the hood at what's going on at Apple then one finds the reason why Apple has been bid up to such lofty levels, where it's current price even after the recent correction is more than double where the stock was trading during March. The answer lies in Apple's 2 year transition away from using former best buddy Intel's CPUs which has started off with a BANG following the launch of the the M1 Mac Book laptops just a few days ago. what's the M1? It's Apple ditching intel for it's ALL in one chip that includes a 8 core CPU, 8 core GPU, 16 core neural engine and memory all on one SOC die that is basically a souped up version of the A14 chips found in Pads and iphones.

The ability of retail traders to pull small accounts and actively target heavily shorted stocks, pushing short-sellers into a “short squeeze” has everyone talking about it. Many people are calling for investigations on both sides saying the system is broken and this should never be allowed to happen.
