This week there are some new IPO's in the market and they are driving investors crazy!!!

1. DoorDash(DASH): DoorDash IPO'd this week at a price of nearly 100 dollars and valued at 3.1B, Doordash was Expected to raise 3.2 to 4B on IPO day. They raised nearly 4.5 billion at the end of IPO week making it one of the most valuable IPOs of 2020. Invest in DASH today because Prices will continue to soar long term.

2.Luminar Technologies(LAZR): LAZR had a hard time getting back on the public funding rounds and this round is no different. LAZR is having a hard week but in the next month it's supposed to go up in value as much as 100-200% by February. LIDAR is a huge product in demand by companies like Tesla and other EV makers this funding round is crucial for LAZR. Buy and Hold on.

3.AirBNB(ABNB): Airbnb is a company we all know and love for vacations. For god's sake, Even Donald Trump has a house or two on Airbnb. Airbnb was valued at around 2.8-3B as it went public and IPO'd at a price that would make any investor who got in very early the happiest man or woman alive. It marked up 81% in a matter of four hours making this investment worthy of this list. Airbnb is a value stock but it will take some time to gather momentum so invest now and hold for your dear life.

4.C3.AI(AI): AI is a tough cookie on the public market and C3 is the first company to debut a stock on the NYSE index and it is gonna have a good year on the market. AI grew nearly 138 percent in a matter of days. from 42.00 to nearly 130 on the NYSE. It's gonna be amazing to see this company grow long term. 

Weekly Shortlist#1:

Tesla(TSLA): Tesla is a fun company to have on your watchlist for two reasons, 1. it keeps you on your toes because of its risk factor, Tesla often struggles with things that drive its stock price down like costs and efficiency but this year has been its best year ever and so I hope my returns grow exponentially. and 2. the returns you get when you hit the All-Time High... Oh.. so satisfying. Blog 1 has my first monthly Shortlist with my Long Term Evaluation of Tesla. Tesla now sits at a price of 612.35 per five shares at the end of Week 2 of December. 

Airbnb(ABNB): Airbnb is a Home Vacation site for people to put down their homes so that other people can use and they get part of the profits. Airbnb is now public as of Thursday, Dec 10th, 2020, and IPO'd at 112.00 but at Market open it jumped to nearly 200.00 on the NYSE. DoorDash was kinda overvalued but it still performed very well on day 2 of trading. Airbnb sits at around 185 on the NYSE as of today. Airbnb has a lot of long-term potential but it's not on my long-term radar as of this week.

Moderna(MRNA): While a long term play this stock has performed marginally well and has seen some of the highest returns of any stock other than Tesla as of last week with the race to Vaccination coming to a start expect Moderna, Pfizer, and BioNTech to Skyrocket to approx 200+ in the Second Quarter of 2021.

DoorDash(DASH): As a Public Company, DoorDash is a relatively new player with growth potential. DASH is here to stay, while overvalued it has a lot of potentials as the economy begins to reopen close to March and April and in July I hope we'll see its growth flourish as they expand into grocery and other ventures. 

Tips: Here are four tips to use

1. Christmas Spending in 2020? Investing in the last 20 days of the year: Try to spend less this year. Invest more in stocks with more long term growth and see how you can make a difference. Find ways to cut spending like on Netflix, I know..... I don't wanna be a Grinch but you need to find more money that you have in your income and use it to save for your future that way... you can have a good Christmas. Shop Online. Amazon usually has a huge sale around the week of Christmas and try to be cheap but if your wallet is pretty deep I'm sure you'll have no problem. Pay off your credit cards. To minimize debts your first priority is to salvage your credit score. Try and pay off your credit cards and cancel any excess credit cards. Pay your mortgage first though. Investing closer to 2021 will be simple and invest how the news says vaccines and Biotech is going. Look at the Covid Vaccines as a sign for investing, typically buy and sell.

2. Save for your Future: This year is a bit weird in that, 2020 is an economic catastrophe. Saving for the next year may be harder than you think but there's an easy way to map out how exactly you are gonna build your savings back up. Maybe try cutting your subscriptions out like Netflix or Disney+ or your other subscriptions. Another thing you could do is find some way to use the money you just saved and invest it in an Index Fund, set it as a recurring investment, and leave it there to make more money and cash out when you need it, use it as an emergency fund, with the way the market is headed, you could use more capital to create a savings fund.  

3.ETF, not WTF: ETF's, Exchange Traded Funds are the most Diverse way to invest these days get shares of public and private companies in these ETFs. You can get companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Many more if you find ETF's they are housed in. You can put your money in there and just forget about it. Personally, ETF's are a great way to invest your money. I see that now. If only I had invested my money in one of my returns. Well, I still had a splendid year. ETFs are a good way to ensure you always have money in the bank.

4. I spy with my Little Eye....: Look at the news with careful precision. Things like Elon tweeting 'Funding Secured.'(2016 fiasco). Amazon announced a new product or Apple releasing their new iPhone,iPad or Mac act as triggers for the market, and it's usually at this moment that you should invest or pull. Let me give an example, The Twitter Fiasco with Elon made shares stop trading completely and when they did trade they fell dramatically. Now a positive when Apple released the iPhone 12 shares of Apple skyrocketed to trading high. News can often play a big role in how the market functions, it's why most financial news is so broad. Look for these triggers and try to invest weeks if not months before these dates for the best results.
