That’s not to say it has been clear sailing -- the company has had some delivery delays -- but its vehicle delivery numbers for the quarter are impressive. Anirban Mahanti joins “7investing Now” to look at any potential problems he sees for the company as well as how it stacks up again other automakers. We’ll also look at the upcoming Rivian IPO and talk about what it means for earl...

Not too long ago, software was sold with perpetual licenses. Often, software was bundled with hardware. In some cases, an annual maintenance contract was added to the perpetual license, which provided the buyer with software updates and patches. This sales motion meant significant upfront costs for the purchaser. Every few years, a new major upgrade landed, and the whole process repeated itself. Subscription software changed all this with the arrival of the Software as a Service (SaaS) sales mod...

Apple has spent billions of dollars on its streaming TV service but its goals for that product may not be the same as its rivals. For the technology giant, it’s not all about subscriber counts. In fact, it’s not entirely easy for people to judge whether Apple is on the right track with Apple TV+ or if the company has fallen behind its goals (partially because Apple does not share much information on its streaming service. Anirban Mahanti, however, knows what the company wants to achieve and he j...

We don’t advocate waiting for the stock market to fall to buy shares in good companies, but when it does that creates buying opportunities. It’s always great to be able to add shares or even start a position when the market gives you a favorable entry point. We’ll also look at what’s next for China’s Evergrande, which could begin defaulting on its debt as soon as Thursday.

We've written quite extensively about what to look for when buying a new stock. Great management, a vast market opportunity, and scalable margins are all accolades to consider when evaluating a company's future upside potential. But something we discuss less frequently is when it might be time to sell. Just as there are indicators that suggest when it's time to buy a stock, there are also red flags that suggest when there might be choppy waters on the horizon. So what exactly should investors wa...

Sports betting has been a bit of a holy grail for investors. It’s an area that clearly presents a lot of opportunities, but it’s also a crowded space where many of the top players have struggled to have a differentiated product. Quarter4 CEO Kelly Brooks brings a different perspective to the space. She’s a technology leader who has driven the development of hundreds of innovative software applications across North America. A self-professed outsider in the sports world, Brooks saw an opportunity ...

We've all experienced it. That favorite pair of sneakers or trusty yoga mat, both of which have soaked up who-knows-what over the years, eventually begs for retirement. You probably toss these items into the trash and never think about them again. The same is true for clothing, furniture, and thousands of other items that get us through everyday life, although some can be donated for a useful second life. Maybe "never think about them again" is a little too harsh. Consumers, especially younger c...

You've heard us speak quite a bit recently about the space economy, and that's for good reason. The final frontier is opening up a trillion-dollar commercial opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs to launch new businesses into. Some companies are deriving revenue directly as the picks-and-shovel providers -- building the rockets, satellites, or space-related hardware and infrastructure. Others are harnessing the power of satellite-based technology -- using PNT for precision timing or GPS for pr...

We’ve all heard automakers talk about how a shortage of chips/semiconductors has caused production delays and, in some cases, has led to actual shutdowns. It’s a problem that’s not easy to solve and one that impacts pretty much all technology, not just cars. Computers and televisions, for example, use chips and a number of companies are taking steps to address the shortage. Simon Erickson and Steve Symington join 7investing Now to look at what’s going wrong, how it impacts automakers and technol...

This trillion dollar new horizon is unlocking opportunities that span across the globe and will fundamentally change many industries.

If there is one thing investors can predict, it is that there will be volatility in the stock market. Stocks can plummet 20% or more in a single day on no news. While that can be frustrating, it's imperative that investors keep their heads down and remain focused on the long-term. As long as your thesis is still intact, a temporary drawdown means nothing when you look at the total return a company has made over several years. 7investing Lead Advisors Maxx Chatsko and Dan Kline explain how they k...
