Intel: 5G Chips Won't Show Up in Smartphones Until 2020
Sandra Rivera, who heads up Intel's networking chip division, said at a press event that Intel doesn't expect consumer 5G "products in the market" until 2020, according to a report in Reuters. Rivera's statement about the timing of 5G products using Intel chips seems to corroborate prior reports on Apple's 5G plans. Many analysts expect Apple to roll out 5G iPhones in the fall of 2020, when the next-gen networks are more widely available in the U.S., and are anticipating a bit of a sales bump from the faster network option.

Not All That Glitters Is Gold, Says Buffett
It didn't make its fortune on gold bars -- as chairman Warren Buffett points out in is his annual letter to shareholders, giving warning to those ready to give up on American ingenuity and to give into predictions of national collapse. "Those who regularly preach doom because of government budget deficits (as I regularly did myself for many years) might note that our country's national debt has increased roughly 400-fold during the last of my 77-year periods," writes Buffett, setting up his argument. "The magical metal was no match for the American mettle," writes Buffett in his signature witty prose.

The company is reportedly planning to close down two stores in Texas. This includes its Plano and Frisco locations. This will take it out of the state's Eastern District, which is where patent trolls have been filing lawsuits against it. Without a business in the area, trolls won't be able to file lawsuits against it in that district. The last day of business for these stores is said to be April 12, 2019.2020 iPhone: A new rumor claims that AAPL will be making a major change with its 2020 iPhone, AppleInsider notes.

Will the Mojo of Momo Stock Continue?
When a company posts revenue growth of 51%, investors usually go into a buying frenzy. But when Momo (NASDAQ:MOMO) pulled this off in its third quarter, Wall Street didn't rush to gobble up MOMO stock. In fact, MOMO stock plunged by 15% on the news, and the shares actually came close to hitting a 52-week low.Source: Shutterstock Of course, when it comes to hyper-growth companies, even slight decelerations can have an out-sized impact on their valuation. And that was certainly the case with Momo Inc stock.Often referred to as the "Tinder of China," Momo was expected to report top-line growth of 51%-55%. MOMO also provided less-then-stellar guidance. The company said that its revenue growth would range from 43%-47% in Q4.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips * 9 High-Growth Stocks to Buy Now for Monster Returns Despite all this, MOMO stock has proved to be resilient. Since the December low, the shares have jumped 37% to $33. Part of its surge was due to an overall rally of Chinese stocks, which also lifted Alibaba (NYSE:BABA), Tencent Holdings (NASDAQOTH:TCEHY) and JD.com (NASDAQ:JD).But perhaps the main driver of the advance of MOMO stock is that MOMO is a solid company. In a relatively short period of time, MOMO, founded in 2011, has been able to build a rich platform. The company's main app, which is available on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) Android, allows people to connect with each other using features like Nearby Users and Nearby Events. It's also easy to send multi-media messages and play social games within the app.All in all, these features have helped lead to better dating matches. They also have created a network effect, which has been key to the growth of the company's user base. Note that its MAUs (Monthly Active Users) reached about 110.5 million as of the end of September, up from 94.4 million from the same time a year earlier. For early-stage social platforms, it can be tough to keep growing, as Snap (NASDAQ:SNAP) has shown. But MOMO doesn't seem to have a problem in that area.The company has also been adept at getting its users to pay for premium services. The total number of subscribers to the live video and valued-added services (such as virtual gifts) segment was 12.5 million, up from 7.3 million in Q3 of 2017. While 3.6 million of the segment's new users came from an acquisition, its growth was still impressive.But MOMO has its issues. Its ad revenues have been soft, and its mobile-gaming business has been under lots of pressure, due to intense competition from mega operators like Tencent. But for MOMO, these businesses are relatively small.More importantly, the company's margins have been under some pressure. That's partially because, in order to keep up its torrid growth, the company has been ramping up its spending on marketing, R&D and infrastructure. The Bottom Line on MOMO StockMOMO continues to generate hefty cash flows, which came to $50.9 million in Q4, and MOMO has $1.5 billion in the bank. So the company has the resources to make further M&A deals. Keep in mind that M&A has been crucial for Match Group (NASDAQ:MTCH). In other words, it would not be surprising to see MOMO acquire more companies.Meanwhile, MOMO stock is trading at dirt-cheap levels. Consider that the forward price-earnings ratio of Momo Inc stock is a mere 11.8, which is a steep discount to its growth rate. Granted, MOMO will continue to be volatile, which is normal for fast-growing companies. But for investors with a long-term focus, MOMO stock remains at a very attractive entry point.Tom Taulli is the author of High-Profit IPO Strategies, All About Commodities and All About Short Selling.
