Here’s What to Do When the Market Makes a Parabolic Move

By D.R. Barton, Jr., Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks - June 13, 2019

Every Monday at 10 a.m., I have a call with one of Money Map Press' "founding fathers", Bill Patalon. He's also a great stock picker and editor of Private Briefing. We talk about markets and business and some personal stuff, too.

This week I was one minute late dialing the number. Because I was watching something crazy unfold on my trading screen.

Beyond Meat (BYND) had just gapped up to open and then taken off, eventually jumping an additional 10% in just 5 minutes. By 10 a.m. sharp, the initial $10 pullback had already happened.

Since Bill and I have worked together for many years, we usually exchange some pleasantries and get caught up on the personal side of things before we jump into market or business topics.

When he answered with a nice "Hello", I responded back immediately with a curt nine-word sentence:
"If you own any Beyond Meat, sell it now."

Millions of Investors Get Suckered by Hot IPOs – Here's What to Do Instead

By Tom Gentile, America's No. 1 Pattern Trader, Money Morning • @powerproftrades - April 5, 2019

Almost nothing generates a bigger financial media splash than a red-hot initial public offering (IPO). It's like the Oscars, Christmas, and the Fourth of July rolled into one.

And (with the exception of a few cannabis IPOs) that can be a bit of a problem for regular investors, who might naturally get excited by the hype.

An IPO like Lyft is like a big, fancy dinner, where huge players - like Carl Icahn, say, or Ray Dalio - and the underwriters are all sitting at the table chowing down on gourmet food. They get first dibs, and the best prices.

In fact, just yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported Carl Icahn sold his 2.7% Lyft stake to George Soros ahead of the public offering.

Under that table, scrounging for scraps that might fall, are... regular investors like you and me.

It's often nearly impossible to buy shares, and if you do manage to get an order filled, you'll almost certainly have paid way too much.

Yep - our "competition" in the IPO game is folks trading $550 million positions like they're trading baseball cards.

I'm going to show you what else is happening with these big IPOs - and I'll name a much better way for investors and traders like us to cash in...

Lyft Flies Too Close to the Sun: What Do You Think Happened?

By Shah Gilani, Capital Wave Strategist, Money Morning • @WallStreet_II - April 3, 2019

Listen, I'm not the kind of guy to say, "I told you so," but if I was, I'd sure be saying it now.

That's because I told you a few weeks ago that the former unicorn known as Lyft Inc. (Nasdaq:LYFT) would crash and burn on its IPO.

And that's exactly what it did.

Only, it's worse than the press is making it out to be.

Here's how Lyft, a distant cousin of Icarus, flew too close to the sun...

Why 2019 Could Be the Year of the Direct Listing IPO

By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning - January 18, 2019

This could be one of the biggest years yet for initial public offerings (IPOs), even though the government shutdown is delaying a few.

Some of them, including Airbnb and Slack, are considering an unconventional IPO route called a "direct listing."

Can the 2019 Uber IPO Outrun the Company's Troubled Past?
