Here’s the Only Smart Way to Play the Airbnb IPO

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Morning • @ShahGilani_TW - • Print | Email

It's been a record-setting summer for IPOs. Vroom Inc., Lemonade Inc., and BigCommerce Holdings Inc. all soared on their initial public offering debuts.

Then came the record-setter, Snowflake Inc. – the largest U.S. software IPO and the biggest company ever to double in value on its opening day.

So this profit-rich, success-soaked moment is opportune for Airbnb, the vacation-rental "unicorn" that's a heavy favorite to go public by the end of 2020.

Good thing, too (for Airbnb). The company's had a rough year, to put it mildly. The company slashed headcount by a quarter back in May, and, as The Wall Street Journal reported, saw its valuation plummet from $31 billion to $18 billion – a rare occurrence for such a celebrated private firm.

So investors are feeling bullish about this company once again, including yours truly – I do think this is going to be a good long-term investment.

Still, this may not be a slam-dunk IPO á la Zoom.

It would be a pricey mistake to rush out and grab the first shares that hit the market. Grab them at the wrong time – the wrong price – and you could be looking at a long, long trip back to the "plus" side of the ledger.

This is going to take some strategizing, like so… Full Story

4 Best Stocks to Buy as Americans Flee Cities

By , Behavioral Trading Specialist, Money Morning - • Print | Email

Many Americans have had enough.

They do not want to live in big cities anymore.

In fact, it's estimated that nearly one third of Americans are considering moving to less densely populated areas in the wake of the pandemic and social unrest.

That's according to new data from the Harris Poll.

With work from home becoming the new normal, people are increasingly feeling more comfortable getting "off the grid." They want to be less dependent on government officials for support and feel more in charge of their lives.

They want to feel safe again.

Since I believe this is going to be a trend that lasts for a long time, I started looking into companies that will profit the most helping people get off the grid.

Here are the four best moving stocks to buy now...

Why Uber, Lyft, and Other Gig Economy Stocks Are Down Now

By , Money Morning - • Print | Email

On Monday, a California judge ruled that Uber Technologies Inc.

(NYSE: UBER) and Lyft Inc.

(NASDAQ: LYFT) must classify their drivers as employees (as opposed to independent contractors) in a stunning preliminary injunction.

Both stocks dropped about 2% on the news.

The ruling means these companies would have to provide their drivers traditional benefits like health insurance, workers compensation, and more.

These additional benefits would become very big expenses to the already unprofitable businesses.

Lyft lost $2.6 billion in fiscal 2019.

Uber lost $8.5 billion.

And neither appear to be close to profitability so far this year…

3 Best Penny Stocks to Buy for over 600% Gains

By , Money Morning - • Print | Email

One of the best tricks to finding the best penny stocks is to take a look and see what analysts are expecting for some of these low-priced potential powerhouses.

If there is an analyst for a reasonably reputable Wall Street firm providing coverage for the stock, there is probably more here than meets the eye.

Usually penny stocks aren't worth their time, especially since many of these companies have very little business to speak of and often rise and fall based on hype.

But if an analyst expects incredible earnings growth rates, there may well be a lot more to a given company that its low stock price is revealing right now.

Here are three that fit the bill...

By , Money Morning - • Print | Email

Biotech stocks find themselves in a very interesting, and potentially very profitable, situation right now.

It's widely believed by public health officials that we can't return to "normal" until scientists discover a coronavirus vaccine that can be widely distributed.

That's the primary reason why the Trump administration launched "Operation Warp Speed."

The U.S. government is investing billions of dollars in biotech companies to develop a COVID-19 vaccine as quickly as possible – so the world can return to normal.

But not all biotech stocks are worth buying right now.
