Metaverse, A New Avenue for Investors.

The Metaverse is the world beyond our universe, creating an artificial world or universe that would resemble our world.

Its a concept of an online, 3D, virtual space connecting users in all aspects of their life from shopping, meeting and entertainment. It could connect multiple platforms, like the internet containing different websites accessible through a single browser.

Metaverse, the latest advancement in technology, fills the gap between the real and the virtual world, which is the next IT and technological revolution that helps humanity to feel the real-world experience without physically appearing for meetings or shopping. Whether you conduct meetings sitting across the world, do shopping in the US, the user can interact virtually through the avatars or graphic clones of the users the way humans interact with each other in the real world. The outcome is that the post-modern interaction between people across the world and doing business is going to radically change.

Now, the world needs high-speed internet service, data storage, and processing and all these are going to be in good demand.

Potential of Metaverse...

Technically and socially, People don't have to travel for face-to-face meetings, instead, robots are going to do the job. When people interact, their virtual clones will interact with each other.

The business firms can set up their 3-D shops and sell products. The users can choose the 3-D virtual human figure they choose, like the weapons they pick in the computer games, and interact, walk into a virtual showroom, do shopping, pay the bill, and get their original products delivered at their given address.

The potential of Metaverse for investment...

Many companies associated with Metaverse gadget production, IT support, and the internet service sector is going to benefit from the arrival of Metaverse.

The core sectors are:

1. VR (Virtual Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality) technology providers will have immense growth potential from Metaverse. The market value of the Virtual reality and the Augmented reality sector is expected to surge to almost $300 billion.

2. Since high-speed internet is going to be the important segment/player of the metaverse world- all 5G and 6G players are going to harvest the benefits too.

3. The Cloud service providers will have increased sales and revenue as data saving and processing are very essential for this metaverse virtual world interaction.

These early-bird players are going to earn so much from Metaverse.

• Nvidia is a company one should notice when choosing to invest in, as this company provides Graphics processing units (GPUs) which is an important component for Metaverse interaction. Presently, the Graphics Processing Unit Market GPU market size was valued at $19.75 billion and is projected to grow up to $ 200.85 billion in the coming 3 years' time. The stock of this company will be the best bet. This companies' sale of GPU is expected to increase exponentially and going to give a better return on investment. Another important product of this company is the Omniverse platform, a software, which helps in sharing, development, and productivity services that would give a better metaverse experience for the users.

Now Tim Cook's $100 million salary proposal is going to be challenged! 

Apple's March 4 shareholder meeting is going to be a hot event when the CEO of Apple comes to get approval.

He is going to receive $100 million in compensation for developing Apple iPhones and making the company one of the most valuable companies in the world.

However, one can hear protests in a corner where a rights group called Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) said they feel such compensation is necessary and should be stopped at any cost. The right activists are asking the shareholders to vote against the proposal and not to ratify the proposal to give such a huge amount to the CEO, Tim.

His total package will now be according to the papers filed, which includes his annual salary package of $99 million. And the right group has got support from another investment advisory firm, Glass Lewis, which has also backed the proposal. All the activists and consultants believe that allowing Tim to continue in the company after his retirement is not necessary either. the reason they point out for such an exorbitant package for the year of 2021 performance without any clarity on the actual performance data is the lack of transparency in his performance.

There have been many changes in the mindset of the whole world ever since the 2007 recession and food inflation. The post-covid pandemic mindset is that the exorbitant pay and over-salary of CEOs have to be voted out, and a few such incidents occurred in 2021 when investors voted against executive pay packages at Intel (INTC), General Electric (GE), and CNN owner AT & T (T).

However, no proposal of any apple investor's body has ever been voted out to date. Most likely, the investors find that the CEO's role plays a crucial role in getting them a better return on their investment. Tim has done a good job even since Steve Jobs died in 2011, taking over as the head of the company.

• In 2022, Apple will have a market cap of $2.756 trillion.

• In 2011, when Tim took over, the market capitalization was $377.51 billion.

Other companies' market capitalization

• Microsoft-$2.179 T
• T-$1.573 Amazon
• Google-$1.750 T
• Apple is going to solve the facial ID detection issue without requiring users to remove their masks to unlock the phones. This feature will work on the iPhone, iPad, and iOS.
• Apple is going to introduce the new feature of "Universal Control" in their new software to help the user use a single keyboard and trackpad across multiple iPads and Macs.

Right now, Apple's 3-D facial recognition needs users to remove their masks, risking their lives to unlock the device.

• In 2022, the company is planning to launch a low-cost iPhone, new iMac and Mac Pro desktops, a redesigned MacBook Air, an updated low-end MacBook Pro, three Apple Watches, the iPhone 14, and new AirPods.

The leadership of any corporation is to be rewarded if their vision and leadership add value to the company and the investors, giving a higher return on investment. If the activists argue that the world is suffering from COVID impact, job loss, and financial crisis, then why do some people take such huge amounts as salary and compensation, which is inhuman.
