NYDIG&Affiliate companies approved bitcoin Patrick Sells, the NYDIG's chief innovation officer, said the Bitcoin payment plan was aimed at letting companies offer a benefits package to prospective employees.
The New York Digital Investment Group, or NYDIG, has launched a benefit program allowing employees of participating companies to convert a portion of their paychecks into Bitcoin.
In a Tuesday announcement, the NYDIG said several firms involved with sports, entertainment and digital currencies would be among the first to offer the crypto payments, including Everbowl, MVB Bank, StretchZone, crypto analytics firm The TIE, crypto mining firm Iris Energy and Fertitta Entertainment — the conglomerate behind restaurant giant Landry's and the National Basketball Association’s Houston Rockets. Company employees who participate in NYDIG’s Bitcoin Savings Plan can choose how much of their pay will be converted into Bitcoin (BTC), with no transaction or cold storage fees.
NYDIG chief innovation officer Patrick Sells said the BTC payment plan was aimed at letting companies offer a benefits package to prospective employees interested in “protecting their financial futures.” According to a recent survey conducted by the firm, 36% of workers under 30 said they would be interested in receiving part of their salary in BTC, with roughly 33% opting for an employer offering payment plans in crypto as opposed to those solely in fiat or other benefits.
"Offering cutting edge benefits helps ensure that we are appealing to the new generation entering the workforce and allows us to attract and retain some of the best talent in the industry,” said Fertitta Entertainment owner and CEO Tilman Fertitta.

Coinbase launched a similar offering in September for workers to deposit their salary payments directly to the crypto exchange, only requiring users to set up direct deposits through a supported payroll company on the exchange’s app, or through their company’s human resources department. A number of professional athletes also announced in 2021 that they would be using Strike or Cash App to convert some of their earnings into crypto.

Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS) OSE: Daily seems to be gearing up!I think the bottom is in (unless issue). And now with the June numbers more than doubling, NAS could see aa decent upside and make some recovery. We are still not out of dark water with 50% of population still not vaccinated and the alarm bells about Delta variant. But ignoring those variables and just looking at the current picture I think it make's a good buy case.
BTW this is not a financial advice. I share my opinion and you should #DYOR

RNA tech inaugurates the new Kondratiev biotech cycleModerna up $75 in a single day damn. $90 since I bought.
Didn't buy at 346 when I posted about it but at the bottom of the pullback a bit below 400 on friday.
More and more people are accepting the vaccine, and new shots are coming.
And regular retail "dumb money", the one that creates bubble, has not paid attention to PFE & MRNA yet (somehow). These companies are more famous now than Coca-Cola or Bitcoin. The bubble has not even started yet. It is going to go GME.
I've been saying that vaccine hesitancy was U shape with the morons on the left of the IQ curve not trusting it for silly reason, and the gifted on the right of the IQ bell not trusting it for valid reason & being misunderstood. I was dead right!
I have also been saying that the propaganda was so stupid only morons would fall for it. Right again 🙃.
Now scientifically proven!
I'm not saying the vaccine is dangerous, just that the smartest people are the more skepticals, the ones that think for themselves and that don't just mindlessly follow what some celebrity says. There are plenty of reasons why they might be skepticals not just a "lizard psyops" (that's what the authorities tell to high school dropouts to get them to take the shot AND IT WORKS THEY FALL FOR THAT).
And my guess is, and I am very certainly right again, that the PHDs hesistant are mostly the more healthy ones, with the old & fat having a better risk to reward taking it (even if we do not know for sure what the risks actually are, there is no stop loss here).
So the most hesistant group is the PHDs, followed by (at the time) the "rednecks" (high school degree or less), and of course who is the least hesitant group? Bachelor & Master degrees. The dead average normies that think they are smart "I stoodid! I am edookataid!", the typical clueless idiot parrots that think they are smart for mindlessly repeating what they are told. Universities suck, no idea why the US doesn't follow the french system, China did. In the US it's even pay to win. Kids want the gov to spend more for their university so they can have fun.
Science has proven I was right about the propaganda only working with morons:
Vaccine hesitancy among the high school and less has gone, between January and May, from 35% to 20%. Meanwhile the PHDs hesitancy actually WENT UP! Lmao pesky nerds, it went from ~23% to 25% in May.

Fortunately for my investment the vast majority is convinced and will keep purchasing new vaccines and "booster shots" some hypocondriacs are even breaking the law to get several booster shots! Take as many as you want, as long as you (via the government) pay for them :)
And fortunately for my investment, the ignorant high school dropouts are literally too stupid to read let alone understand the FUD written by these pesky hesitant PHDs. But when a celibrity wearing a clown nose burps and farts and tells them the vaccine will make them normal they listen, when the media says that people that don't get the vaccine are silly flat earthers they fall for it, when the media tells them they should vaccinate their 3 year old because of some magical reason they listen, when they say the vaccine is efficient BUT not efficient if other people don't take it BUT it's efficient after all because you won't make a "serious" case BUT other people still have to take it because it could mutate into a more serious version so you have to pressure other people to take it they listen and they can't figure out they're preparing public opinion for more vaccines in the near future.
Pretty amazing that the constant hammering of propaganda, of every single trick in the books has ZERO effect on PHDS, no it even has a slight negative effect (maybe a few can be tricked by reverse psychology or something? Just annoy them enough till they hate you so much they do the opposite of what you claim you want), and the high school dropouts massively fall for childish first degree tricks that are so obvious they sometimes make me blush.
It's actually useless to try and warn people of the risk.
1- High IQs will only change their minds if they find rational evidence, and if there is evidence about something they'll know about it.
Plus they are arrogant c***s that think they're smarter than everyone else (because they are) and don't listen to anything anyone "probably inferior" says and are super stubborn. Easy to be confident when you have something to back it up with.
2- The mindless spineless sheep in the middle will mindlessly follow anything anyone screaming loud enough says, they wouldn't want to lose their average normie repetitive desk job. Their greatest fear is looking stupid because they know they aren't smart enough to understand all the intricacies and put their balls on the table (assert themselves) and say they know best than "the scientists" (wheareas the scientists can obviously), while they also know they are smarter than the low IQs they despise and fear being mistaken with. There is probably a lot of Dunning-Kruger effect going on in here too, with this group being smart enough to understand 2-3 things, but not smart enough to understand the whole picture and know that they don't know what they don't know.
3- The "in difficulty" group, the low IQs, well they have a natural distrust of science not sure why, I don't know because I didn't study it because I don't care about this group, I don't care because they have no money and therefore no money to lose to me and even if they sometimes have some even Bitcoin is too solid an investment for them they rather lose it in a regular (obvious) "2% a day" ponzi. I don't know. What I know is they fall for childish manipulation tactics, their whole life they've let someone else do the thinking for them, and they are the fuel to this rocket ship. And to be fair I don't despise them like I despise 2, but if they grow a third arm and drop dead big deal, not like we don't have enough deadweights on welfare. We got an ample supply of those, not to worry. What we are missing are more doctors, more inventors, more independant thinkers.
We have to fight against the minsinformation! These scary FUD tactics are causing potential clients to hesitate 😠.
It's not a "new experiment method" my own father was working on it (against cancer) when I was a baby. It's older than me.
If people would just sponteanously combust we would know it.
The hesitancy is more subtle than that, nothing regular folks should worry their little heads about 🙂
One of the reason why it's good to have a few individuals not take it is so we have a group to compare to.
Rather than whine about conflicts of interests, come and profit from it, get your piece of the pie 🤑
Goldman Sachs tactically retreats from crowded tradeAs of Jan '21, the US Dollar 💵 had one of the most crowded trades in the world. Since then, higher US YIELDS have forced banks and hedge funds to unwind more than $25 billion in the short trade.
However, the DXY is expected to go lower in the following 2021 quarters, economic recovery and sped-up vaccination efforts still threatens further gains for the dollar hurting gains made be the equity & Commodities markets.
Lockheed profit target 25%I picked up some Lockheed Martin today, because both value and sentiment on the stock are looking too good to resist.
Value
I estimate Lockheed's forward P/E at about 12.5, which is really cheap for a megacap. Forward P/S is 1.5, and forward dividend yield is over 3%. I estimate Lockheed's PEG ratio at about 2, with the annual earnings growth rate sitting near 4%, the sales and dividend growth rates closer to 2.5%, and the free cash flow growth rate near 5%. These are pretty great numbers. Lockheed has about 23% upside to its median price multiple of the last 4 years. Its main competitor, Boeing, has been hemorrhaging money like a catastrophic head wound hemorrhages blood. Meanwhile, Lockheed's been enjoying tailwinds from recovery of TSA throughput numbers, proposed acquisition of Aerojet Rocketdyne, and announcement of a large UK military budget this year.
Sentiment
Analysts give Lockheed an average rating of 7.8/10, a solid "Buy." This rating has recently improved a few points. S&P Global gives Lockheed's fundamentals an average score of 77.25/100. Its ESG score is about average for its industry. Open interest from options traders is in very bullish territory, with a 30-day put/call ratio of 0.5. TradingView's technicals-o-meter is flashing "buy." The average analyst price target for Lockheed is more than 15% above the current price.
Trading plan
I sketched out a tentative view on how Lockheed might move from here. We're sitting right at a resistance and hopefully about to break out. If we get through resistance here, I'm looking for a fairly decisive move to about $394.50. From there, I'm thinking we dither for a while. A lot will depend on conditions in the larger economy, but with vaccinations, stimulus checks, and geopolitical tensions, I suspect Lockheed will eventually break out toward its all-time high. If it hits my second target, the profit from the trade will be about 25%. I'm hoping it gets there by the end of 2021.
