BTS, or "Beyond the Scene," is the name of a seven-member South Korean Pop (or K-Pop) boy band known for its hit song "Dynamite." Its record label, Big Hit Entertainment, just issued public shares on Monday, Sept.
29.
And we're going to show you how to buy Big Hit stock when it starts trading.
Hyliion stock will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange Friday, Oct.
2.
The company is merging with Tortoise Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: SHLL) after a vote by SHLL shareholders on Monday, Sept.
28.
Tortoise Acquisition is up 370% since its IPO in June, from $10 to $47.
The Hyliion reverse merger is big news in the SPAC world, only weeks after Nikola stock fell from grace.
Initially, Nikola traded for $73, but it has since dropped to $19 after rumors of fraud by CEO Trevor Milton.
This might have many investors second-guessing electric vehicle stocks - and the whole Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) model of investment.
But just because Nikola appears to be a dud right now, does not mean there aren't still huge opportunities for stocks in this field.
Hyliion is quite a different animal from Nikola in almost every respect.
Today, you're going to see why and whether or not you should buy it.
Palantir (NYSE: PLTR) stock is expected to hit the market this week.
Analysts are predicting a $22 billion valuation.
The company has decided to go with a direct listing to avoid much of the prolonged scrutiny that comes with a regular IPO.
This raises questions for many investors.
But this is also one of the most exciting IPOs of the year for good reason.
Today, we're going to talk about whether Palantir stock is a buy or not.
You might be surprised what you find...
Another promising software company just went public today (Sept.
23).
The Bentley Systems stock price jumped 41% after its IPO.
Bentley Systems shares climbed as high as $31 from its pre-IPO range of $19-21 per share.
That range was already an upgrade from yesterday's $17-19 per share.
The company raised $236.5 million with its IPO.
Today, we're going to talk about what makes Bentley Systems unique, and whether it's a buy or not moving forward.
Should you invest in the upcoming TikTok IPO? It might sound like the next Facebook, but there are plenty of questions swirling around this social media app.
Sept.
15, 2020 was the much anticipated JFrog IPO.
The stock began trading on the Nasdaq at $44 and gained around 50% for the day.
This was the same day as the Snowflake IPO.
It was called "the biggest software IPO of all time" byCNN.
That stock more than doubled from its IPO price.
If Snowflake hadn't happened, you'd probably be hearing more about JFrog.
Next to the Snowflake IPO, it has been one of the more talked-about "unicorn" IPOs of 2020.
The S&P 500 lost 31% in March.
The IPO market saw a huge slump in the ensuing months.
There was little confidence in the public market.
But certain players in the health sector did not hurt the same.
In fact, tech and health stocks seemed more stable with a work-from-home trend and a push for coronavirus vaccines.
While these sectors got a lift from this year's events, they didn't need it.
There will always be companies innovating in tech and health, despite any lockdown scenario.
Grail is one of those companies.
That's why, in a year of scant IPOs, this innovative biotech is one of a handful that have come out announcing their IPO underway.
The coronavirus hurt the 2020 IPO market for a few months.
There was a 48% drop in IPO activity, a 67% decrease in IPO proceeds for April-March.
This led IPO investors to try other investment vehicles, like SPACs for a potential future price pop.
But tech IPOs are making a comeback this fall.
And there are few more interesting than Israeli software company JFrog.
There has not been much IPO action this year, thanks to COVID-19.
In April-May of 2020, IPO activity was said to decrease 48% for the same quarter.
That came to a 67% decrease in proceeds from April-May 2019.

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t money to be made on IPOs...
Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) -- also called "blank check companies" -- have surged in popularity this year.
That's because they are formed solely for the purpose of buying private companies and taking them public, giving their shareholders the first crack at owning exciting new companies before the IPO.
We're going to share more about how this works in a moment.
We'll also help you learn how to invest in SPACs.
Special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, have been all the rage with investors this year.
These special companies give investors a new way to invest in IPOs and some of the hottest companies on the planet.
Even better, investors have the chance to reclaim their investment if they don't like the deal their SPAC makes.
As usual, there's more to the story than that, and we're here to help.
To help you understand what these investment vehicles are and whether they're worthy of your money we're taking a deep dive into them today.
We'll show you exactly how these investments work and we'll show you the best SPAC stocks to buy now too.
The Casper IPO is the latest example of a hyped up company struggling once it hits public markets.
We warned our readers to approach this IPO with caution back in October.
But there's more to the story on what happened to Casper Sleep Inc. (NYSE: CSPR).
And some people are still making a killing (you could be one of them next time)...
Rivian isn't a household name yet, but it will be soon.
The company has been called the "Tesla Killer."
It was valued at $7 billion in December 2019 after receiving over $2.2 billion from startup investors.
And that was before it received another $1.3 billion investment from T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (NASDAQ: TROW) in the same month.
T. Rowe Price isn't the only big name investor.
Rivian has been given $700 million from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) and $500 million from Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F).
But does all that mean you should buy Rivian stock following the IPO?
For years now, I've advised my readers about how the average retail investor should avoid buying high-tech IPOs when they first start trading. When you buy at the open, you really risk losing your hard-earned money.
Problem is, people just can't wait. They want in, and they want in fast.
But a little patience on the right stocks, and you can still play them post-IPO for big returns. When you wait to buy, you can ride the "bounce back" period to huge gains...
Had you followed this advice with the savvy cloud provider I'll tell you about today, you could have made 863% in just a little over five years. But if you bought at the open, you risked losing more than half your capital.
I just love it when a hot new tech stock crashes.
Please don't think I'm taking delight in watching folks lose money.
Well unless it's those "geniuses" on Wall Street.
Just saying...
Here's the simple truth. If folks don't listen to me, I can't help them.
I have said for many years now that the average retail investor should avoid buying high-tech initial public offerings (IPOs) when they first start trading.
When you buy at the open, you really risk losing your hard earned money.
It's much better to wait a little more than six months from the open.
That's when insiders can sell, an event that usually means a big drop in price.
Had you followed that advice with a savvy cloud provider I've recommended, you could have made 863% in just a tad more than five years.
