Cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, has just gone public.
It may not be a household name, but it plays a pivotal role in preventing trillions of cybercrimes per week.
Here’s whether you should buy CrowdStrike stock after the IPO...
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."
The "Starbucks of China" is public.
But the company faces stiff competition - the biggest of which is the world's largest coffee chain.
Here's whether you should buy Luckin Coffee stock now that it's publicly traded.
The 2019 IPO market is red hot, but that shouldn't come as much of a surprise...
The single most important factor for a healthy IPO market is a rising stock market.
Today, we'll show you a stock that's profiting from this red-hot sector.
And it also carries much less risk than buying into an IPO directly.
The simple fact is that Uber waited too long to go public and now it's paying for it. The freshly minted stock dropped 7%, or in Shah's own words, "bombed."
Find out why this stock was doomed from the get-go and why you should stay far, far away from it...
"The Starbucks of China," Luckin Coffee, is looking to take advantage of the untapped Chinese market.
But what is the Luckin Coffee stock price? And is it a buy for retail investors?
Check out here whether this coffee shop can take on coffee's big juggernaut...
Slack is another highly anticipated unicorn startup geared for a spring 2019 release.
However, don't buy into the hype of early IPOs.
Instead, check out this investment that could be your backdoor play on Slack...
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.
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...
The Peloton IPO could be one the first major IPOs of 2019, but investors might not be familiar with the exercise company.
We're going to change that today.
This could be one of the biggest years yet for initial public offerings (IPOs), even though the government shutdown is delaying a few.
But not every company is looking to follow the traditional IPO path to becoming a public company.
Some of them, including Airbnb and Slack, are considering an unconventional IPO route called a "direct listing."
Here's what that means for your money...
The government shutdown could derail the Lyft IPO, one of the biggest IPOS of 2019.
But the good news is that when the shutdown finally ends, the environment for IPOs could get significantly better for investors who know where to look.
And we'll show you how you can use this to your advantage...
2019 is gearing up to see a record number of high-flying cannabis IPOs hit the market - each capable of unleashing millions of dollars into the market.
It's a true investing phenomenon.
Imagine buying into Amazon during its IPO. The stock is up an unheard of 8,200% since its debut.
If you believe the hype, the 2019 Uber IPO could be like buying into the next Amazon.
Lyft has so far played second fiddle to its rival Uber, but the 2019 Lyft IPO gives the ride-share unicorn a chance to come out on top.
