🌻Adobe(ADBE)電話會議內容讀後感

ADBE前兩天發表財報了.

這次ADBE在財報後下跌, 主要是兩個原因(如下). 不過個人覺得是瑕不掩瑜:
1. 因為之前已經漲了不少(投資人期望太高)
2. 因為Digital Marketing這部分的業務受到季節性的影響, 所以表現不是很突出(沒有比預期高出很多)
a. net new Digital Media ARR (3% beat vs guide, vs 15% beat in 2Q21 vs 35% beat in 3Q20).
b. 有分析師在問(“Maybe just -- can we double-click on the seasonality commentary in the quarter? Because if we look at the beat versus guidance on net new digital media ARR, it looks, at the same time you had the weakest beat, but then the strongest guide in the last three years, which kind of speaks to and confirm some of those seasonality comments that you made.)
i. 高層對此的回答是, 主要是疫情後, 加上正值夏季, 大家的日子回復到正常&放假外出, 所以這部分的業務有受到影響(I think going into the quarter, we had expected that the consumer with a little bit more return to normalcy as what's happening in the environment.)
ii. 高層又說了一些話, 不過重點就是他不認為這是甚麼大事”So, net-net, I would say that the growth prospects for that particular business and the growth drivers remain intact. But again, very much in line. And this is what we feel good about the insights that we're getting on the business.”
iii. 也提到, Q4通常會是digital marketing業務的旺季(表現會不俗的意思)

另外, 覺得這次令我印象深刻的是, 當高層與分析師提到這些事情:
• 常在一些公司的電話會議中提到omnichannel這個字(疫情後, 更明顯了). 這次高層也有提到. ADBE可說是omnichannel概念股:
o “I mean, a big part of that is more and more companies are thirdly doing the multi-channel omnichannel, whatever they want to call it. And I think that's only going to continue to be a driver of our Digital Experience Solutions. Because today that stable stakes and so we just look at it and say whether you're shopping in-store over they are shopping online. You need a solution that treats you like a customer that we know of.”
• 網路上影片(video)的興起, 以及串流影音, 有提高了Adobe的營收天花板(用句分析師的術語, 就是TAM (total addressable market) expansion.
• 當使用者製作了越來越多的內容, 內容管理(content management)的能力就越顯重要, 內容上的流程管理(workflow)也越顯重要. Adobe的產品能夠幫內容製作者解決這樣的問題.
• 而Adobe各產品間的相容性, 標準化, 整合能力, 是它的競爭優勢之一:
o And one of the things we did really well is what we called our named user deployment and how, you know, when we have these enterprise licensing agreements, we offer enterprises the ability to download and distribute within the companies. And the more we do training and evangelism of the products, that leads to adoption. So, I would say there's an element of standardization, there's an element of more content.

而最近ADBE有個新聞, 引起了我的注意, 就是它即將在自己的平台上, 提供付款服務(payment service). 根據之前研究SHOP的經驗, 這有可能會對股價造成一定的漲幅:
On Sept. 15, Adobe announced that it will add payment services to its e-commerce platform this year to help merchants accept credit cards and other ways of paying. The move will deepen Adobe's rivalry with e-commerce firm Shopify (SHOP).
For the service, Adobe has partnered with PayPal (PYPL), which will process a variety of payment types, including credit and debit cards as well as PayPal's own payment and buy-now-pay-later offerings.

接下來該怎麼辦? 對於基本面良好的公司如ADBE, 我能說的就是buy the dip(逢低買進)了. 供參.

🌻The Facebook Files
一個星期前, WSJ上面有個關於FB的大篇幅調查報導. 有興趣的可以看看.
The Facebook Files
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039

這篇文章挺長, 也沒有看到華爾街中文版本的完整翻譯, 不過可以看看這篇:
https://on.wsj.com/2ZmFimp

"《華爾街日報》的相關調查顯示，這家社交媒體巨頭心知肚明，其平台會傷害用戶，而且是以該公司常常完全了解的方式造成傷害。目前，全球近半數人口都是Facebook旗下平台的用戶。其中一些證據尤其令人不安：據《華爾街日報》報導，Facebook的內部研究顯示，在報告稱有過自殺念頭的青少年中當中，有13%的英國用戶和6%的美國用戶把這種念頭歸結於Instagram。"

另一篇相關新聞:
https://www.thenewslens.com/article/156683

"《華爾街日報》於13日揭露Facebook的XCheck系統，也就是內部系統中的VIP名單，數百萬名人、政治人物與記者等知名公眾人物都在特別的一份「白名單」之內。"

"這些「貴賓」在社群上發布的內容可以躲過一般的審查系統，即使發布明顯的不當內容，也不會立即被刪除。《衛報》報導，Facebook的獨立監督委員會表示，在閱讀該篇報導後，決定要審查XCheck系統，並要求Facebook對其進行報告與解釋。"

🌻我喜歡的Apple TV影集, "Ted Lasso", 是這次艾美獎的大贏家, 很多主要演員都得獎了.

很高興這兩年, 因為有這部戲的陪伴, 讓我撐過了疫情, 家人離世, 以及一些烏煙瘴氣的事情.

前幾天看演員的得獎影片, 一位娛樂記者問得獎的男配角(也是編劇之一)說, 你覺得這部片的核心思想是甚麼. 他說, be curious, not judgemental.

就像得獎的女演員在劇中一開始是很鴨霸很壞心的球隊主人, 但這樣做是因為被前夫傷透了心, 所以想要弄垮離婚後分到的財產(也是前夫的最愛--球隊); 外表看起來永遠陽光燦爛做啦啦隊的男主角, 在青少年時父親自殺, 造成了他心裡永遠的痛&障礙(讓他在球賽時, 會有突發恐懼症).

我們每個人其實都有很多面, 很多個故事. 尤其在社群, 大家都是萍水相逢, 對彼此的了解都是非常片面的; 而有時候在社群裡, 看到有人會因為只看到一個面向, 就去下斷語. 這其實是人之常情很難避免, 所以我們需要常用第二層思考去提醒自己. 社群裡需要更多的同理心.

“Be curious, not judgmental” – Walt Whitman(惠特曼)(美國詩人)

10 tips beli rumah . jom ruang kan masa membaca . tak salah kita menambah ilmu . 😊

1. Pilih Loan Yang Betul
Pastikan loan pertama yang anak muda buat dengan bank adalah loan rumah. Bukan loan kereta. Ini adalah kerana loan kereta akan menyebabkan komitmen anak muda semakin tinggi dan kelayakan di pihak bank untuk beli rumah semakin berkurangan. (Kalau nak pakai kereta jugak, pastikan guna nama orang abang, kakak, atau ayah. Asalkan bukan nama kita. Nak senang lagi, mintak nak...
Continue Reading10 tips to buy a house. Let's space the time to read. It's not wrong for us to add knowledge. 😊

1. Choose The Right Loan
Ensure the first loan that young people do with the bank is a house loan. Not a car loan. This is because car loans will lead to young people's commitments getting higher and the qualifiers on the bank to buy houses are reducing. (If you want to use a car, make sure to use the name of your brother, sister, or father. As long as it's not our name. Want to be easy again, asking to continue paying their car)

2. Use Company Accounts As CashFlow
If young people do business, make sure that customers bank in to the company account. Not a personal account of young people. If the customer banks into a personal account, it will NOT be counted as INCOME. So, lose it there. If anyone missed it, transfer back to the company account with a note ′′ CASH SALES ". If you are eating your salary, and within the same time your own business, register the company. ENTERPRISE is enough.

3. Pay KWSP
If young people are doing their own business, make sure to set your salary for yourself and pay your own business. When applying for loan bank later, there will be 2 types of income of young people. That is income from business, and income from your own salary. For salary payment, use company check to pay. Avoid transfer online only. And make sure to make Payslip and cop together.

4. Don't Influence ASB Loan and Personal Loan
Don't be quick to take ASB Loan or Personal Loan. Because this type of Loan is always the factor that leads to our home bank rejected loans. If you want to take ASB Loan too, make sure that after passing your home loan, then take it once. For me, if you plan to buy a second property, don't take an ASB loan anymore. Because usually the bank will offer us after we pass our first home loan. (but it's different if your income is big, if just taking ASB Loan and monthly payments doesn't give a big effect on your DSR, it's okay.

5. Buy First Home For Investment
For the first home, make sure you buy for investment purposes. Why did I say that? Because if young people buy to sit by themselves, it will be a expenses for young people. It's different if young people buy it in cash. Investment is also divided into two. Either Cash Flow or Capital Gain. If young people choose to cash flow investment. It means young people rent the house to others. Ensure the rent given is nothing less than the bank's monthly payment. Another one is Capital Gain. This means, young people buy a house at a certain period, and when the value of the house increases, young people sell / flip the house and get profit from the sale. This way is called Capital Gain.

6. Don't Combine The Name Of Husband Wife When Buying
Avoid combine the name of husband and wife while buying a house. This is because, everyone is only eligible to get a 90 % loan for two houses only. If the 70th house, only get a loan for 70 %. This means, if you follow the rules, a couple of wives will be able to buy 4 houses. But if combine the name, it will be only 2 houses to get a loan of 90 %. So, you'll lose it. The right rule for a husband and wife is... Buy 4 houses, 1 to sit alone, and 3 more for rent. It's a profit from renting that house to pay monthly for the house that you sit. Isn't it like sitting like that?

7. Ensure CCRIS Records CLEAN
CCRIS record is a record from Bank Negara that collects our debts with financial institutions in Malaysia. To make it easier for you before you decide to make a home loan, make sure you check your own CCRIS record first. Later you'll see your debt list and next to your monthly payment list. If it's 0, it means your record is clean. You're a man of mind. If it's 1, this means there's 1 months out, then 2,3,4 and so on. The way to check is to go to the National Bank and use the machines provided. Or now can apply online only. I'll show you the other day.

8. Three Types Of Home You Need To Know
There are three types of homes you can buy.
FIRST - undercons house (meaning under construction). Usually undercons homes are suitable for people who plan on FLIPPING (Selling) when they're done. If you're looking for a house with discount 7%, then you just need to remove 3 % capital. If you can find a house that gets 10 % discount, then you don't need to withdraw the capital to pay deposit.
BOTH - House of subsale. (means the house is done and has someone else's name). For this type of subsale house, a very large capital is required. If the house is RM500, 000, then a deposit of RM50, 000 is required. Added again with legal fees, etc.
THIRD - Auction House. Among these three types, auction houses are at very high risk. But it's okay.. high risk, the return is high.. If winning auction bid is much cheaper than market price, you'll be lucky.. For auction types, you need to study in terms of market value, house state, neighborhood and others before committing to join the bid. If you ask me, I'd rather buy a UNDERCONS house. 😊

9. Buy Undercons Home
If you choose to buy a house under cons, then choose a big developer. Examples like SP Loyal, IJM Land, Sime Darby, Worldwide and others. The first reason why to choose this developer is less risk. Meaning, the risk for abandoned projects is very low. If you choose a developer with no name, the risk is very high because they may lack capital or have other problems and cause the project can be abandoned. We will lose too later.
Second reason, if a big developer, they usually provide many benefits to their property buyers. For example, 5 %- 10 %, free air conditioner, alarm system, vinyl floor and more. Additionally, big developers will usually provide plenty of facilities in a residential park that they are developing. Look at SP Loyal example. So lucky people buy a house in this nature. How many new facilities they get. For example, there are malls, mosques, banks, parks, and more.

10. Buy Following Skills
Buy a house according to ability. Don't follow the lust. Yerlah, sometimes we are affected by friends who buy big houses, we also want to buy a big house. Loan may be able to pass.. but when entering the monthly payment chapter, it's really burdening you. Monthly commitment is higher than the income you get. Last-last, outstanding! So, to avoid this happening, before deciding to buy any house, make sure you count first about your monthly income ability to pay the house later.

11. Extra Tips
It's normal if loan for the first house, the bank wants to see your CCRIS record. Depends on some banks too. If you have never made a loan with a bank, then your ccris record is empty. And banks can't judge how discipline you are on loan payment. So, if this problem happens to you, there are 2 ways you can do it.
FIRST, you apply credit card and use it. The way to use the correct credit card is, swipe during the day, and at night keep paying back the credit card. This is to prevent you from forgetting to pay.
, make personal loan in the lowest amout in Easy RHB. This way, the bank will see a track record that you are a good debt payer.Translated

I tell you, this bank = daylight robbery

Stay away.

Dear SC,

The latest statement received shows that I am charged RM13.44 even when I have made full payment by the due date. I hope you can check why is this happening. I have already inquired through your online help live chat with Hazel on 5th Nov at around 2.45pm who said I should make payment minus cashback to my principal account.

To my knowledge, I have already paid in full by due date so please explain how the interest came about again.

Regards,
Tammy

Standard Chartered Reply:

Dear Ms.Lim,

Thank you for your e-mail dated 19th November 2018.

Please be advised that the payment for your credit cards needs to be made individually and not together.

The cashback was credited to credit card number ending 3774 and the payment made for credit card ending 2451 was short of RM 100 hence that is why you have been charged with interest.

You will need to request for us to transfer the credit balance to the credit card that has an outstanding in order for you to make the payment lesser than the total amount.

We hope the above clarifies.

Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our 24-hour Client Care Hotline at 1-300-888-888 or +603-77118888 (if you are calling from overseas)

Alternatively, you can also chat with our consultants at https://www.sc.com/my/contact-us/#Chatwithus (operation hours is 9am-9pm, Monday to Friday)

Thank you for banking with Standard Chartered and have a pleasant day.
