If you remember nothing else today, remember this: Facebook (FB) doesn’t give a darn about its 2.5 billion users… All it cares about is advertising revenue. Harsh, I know. But on Wall Street, money talks. Or as famed economist Milton Friedman put it, “The social responsibility of business is to… read more »
Tuesday, June 30, 2020Wait a minute… what was that? Was it the “sign” that this bull run is finally over? Stocks have rallied 40%+ from their coronavirus-bottom in March… And meanwhile, a band of gunslinging day-traders are bidding up shares of bankrupt — yes bankrupt — Hertz Global Holdings (HTZ) by more than 500%. This… read more »
Tuesday, June 23, 2020Yesterday, I was interviewed on the TD Ameritrade Network to talk about a major new trend: The surge in “contactless payments” that’s occurring because of Covid-19.

Tuesday, June 16, 2020As I write these words, a certain market sector is surging: I’m referring to Travel — which includes airlines, hotels, and cruise companies.

Tuesday, June 2, 2020Write down this ticker symbol: NARI… And in the coming days and weeks, track it. Because it’s the first of what I believe will be a long string of highly successful initial public offerings (IPOs). You see, due to Covid-19, the number of IPOs this year is off by 60%.… read more »
Tuesday, May 26, 2020Just like a takeover, an IPO can be a powerful way to earn big gains in a single day. In December of last year, for example, the average first-day return for all IPOs checked-in at an impressive 62.7%. That’s all about to change, though. And it has nothing to do… read more »
Tuesday, May 19, 2020In the social media industry, a company either innovates and grows — or it quickly dies. In fact, companies in the industry are transparent about this in their SEC filings. Take Snap Inc. (SNAP) for instance. In its IPO filing, the company indicated that its growth, and its very survival, depend… read more »
Tuesday, May 12, 2020Forget about landing on the moon or Mars… There’s a new space race in town! This time, it involves putting “low earth satellites” the size of refrigerators into orbit. Once they’re in orbit, they can beam ultra-fast internet to connected cars, smartphones, and billions of other IoT devices. This helps… read more »
Tuesday, May 5, 2020From airlines to retail, dozens of sectors are reeling right now from the coronavirus… But tech is still booming.
