Yesterday I posted my current portfolio so today I’m following up with a thread to explain why I own all 25 of my current stocks plus my updated 12 month price targets.

Hitting these price targets will require strong ongoing fundamentals and broad market tailwinds.
$FSLY: Fastly has the best in class CDN and edge computing technology plus with the recent acquisition of @signalsciences they are making the best websites faster and more secure including TikTok, Shopify, Spotify, Etsy, Pinterest, Airbnb, Twitter and hundreds more.

PT = $190
$TSLA: Tesla is leading the EV renovation, approx 3% of global car sales are EV’s and I believe over the next 10 years this goes to 50%, $TSLA will face increased competition but they have a massive head start. Solar and batteries are icing on the cake.

PT = $650
$SE: Sea is the three headed monster, they are leaders in e-commerce, digital payments and gaming, amazing founder and huge strategic investor in Tencent

PT = $230
$CRWD: CrowdStrike is the leader in cybersecurity, threat detection and endpoint protection, they are a must have solution for enterprises and government agencies... strong management and customer base.

PT = $200
$SQ: Square is creating the future of banking and digital payments to serve businesses and consumers, the traditional banks are being dismantled and $SQ is in the middle of that revolution

PT = $245
$ETSY: Etsy clearly benefited from the pandemic which accelerated growth but many of those customers will keep coming back especially as brick & mortar retail continues to die off, great management and fair valuation relative to growth however 2021 comps get harder

PT = $190
$PTON: Peloton is leading the FitTech revolution with premier hardware and software but most important is the growing content library and community, I believe 40% of gyms/studios will close in the next year which continues to fuel $PTON and other FitTech companies

PT = $185
$ROKU: Roku has becoming the TV operating system with many households choosing to “cut the cord” and move to different streaming services which is where $ROKU becomes a necessity

PT = $290
$TDOC: Teladoc is the leader in tele-health which was on full display during the pandemic and forced doctors to adopt this technology, their upcoming merger with $LVGO makes this company much stronger for the long term.

PT = $325
$DOCU: DocuSign has become a required product for almost every business and enterprise on the planet, their esignature platform is amazing and through recent acquisitions they are expanding into notarizing documents and smart contracts using AI and ML.

PT = $320
$SHOP: Shopify has had an incredible run the past 5 years but still putting up incredible growth numbers because of their diverse platform for SMB’s to run their online businesses. As they build out fulfillment & logistics they are going after $AMZN

PT = $1450
$DDOG: DataDog provides analytics and monitoring for DevOp teams which is a must-have in the new age of cloud and software. They recently announced deeper integration with $MSFT Azure

PT = $145
$NET: CloudFlare provides companies of all sizes access to a unified solution to improve performance and increase web security. As a founder led company they continue to new products and improvements.

PT = $80
$API: Agora has built a developer first platform so they can build real time engagement services via video, voice and messaging. With more WFH these tools will become more critical.

PT = $65
$Z: Zillow has their founder back running the company which is a big deal and they continue to evolve the platform from data/leads to real estate brokerage services and iBuying which is what $IPOB also does. I think they will both be winners.

PT = $140
$CYRX: CryoPort provides cold storage and temperate controlled shipping and logistics for biotech snd pharma companies which should include possible Covid vaccines

PT = $75
$NLS: Nautilus is a lessor known company in the FitTech space however they own Bowflex which is on fire right now, $NLS only trades at 1x sales while similar competitors trade at 5-10x sales. $NLS wins from more people setting up home gyms.

PT = $38
$ZYXI: Zynex provides non-invasive medical devices to help patients with pain management alternatives, they recently lowered 2020 revenue guidance because of Covid but I expect 2021 to be very strong as they grow their sales force

PT = $30
$BAND: Bandwidth is another cloud based communications platform for enterprises which includes companies like Zoom, RingCentral, Google, UberConference, Microsoft and many more. They also made a recent acquisition to help with global expansion.

PT = $270
$IIPR: Innovative Industrial Properties provides certified/regulated facilities to cannabis companies. As more states legalize cannabis I expect $IIPR to be a big long term winner.

PT = $215
$DKNG: DraftKings was one of the pioneers in the online sports betting industry, they have a loyal following from sports fans across the country, if/when the biggest states legalize sports betting to increase tax revenues this stock will rip higher

$DKNG = $95
$LMND: Lemonade still trades as a premium valuation based on current revenues and growth rates however as they continue to disrupt more insurance verticals with their AI and big data strategy this stock could go much higher.

PT = $105
$FTCH: FarFetch is a digital marketplace ie e-commerce platform for luxury goods/brands with huge growth potential in Europe and Asia.

PT = $40
$RDFN: RedFin is another founder led company that is disrupting the real estate industry but trying to replace real estate agents and the current commission structures. They should also benefit from a low rate environment which creates more buying/selling activity.

PT = $78
^revolution not renovation

Since is down 27% after hours b/c they lowered quarterly rev guidance (likely b/c of TikTok), figured it would be a good time to re-share the tweet below.

The best growth stocks will pullback 20-40% from time to time. These are buying opportunities for long term investors.
Some people on here know that I had a diversified portfolio going into September. Then we saw a big pullback in growth stocks so I sold the bottom 2/3 of my portfolio and went to approx 80% , 20% and 20% .

was under $75 at this time.
Over the past 5 weeks I have been trimming aggressively once it got back to $95.

From $95 to $135 where it got this week I trimmed my position from 80% down to 10%.

Having down 30% after hours is painful but way less painful because I had a plan and stuck to it.

$NLS 1.5%
$IIPR 1.4%
$LMND 1.4%
$BAND 1.4%
$DKNG 1.3%
As of the close today I’m up 200% year to date.

I have no idea what the next 11 weeks will look like for stocks but I’m cautiously optimistic with low rates, trillions of stimulus, trillions of investable cash and of course performance chasing from the big mutual/hedge funds.
I’ll keep giving portfolio updates twice per week.

Over the past few days I’ve been trimming my top positions and putting the proceeds into new positions as well as adding to existing positions that I believe have more upside over the next 3-6 months than my recent winners.

A friend just messaged me and says he has $100,000 to invest but is afraid to start buying stocks because he thinks we might get a 10-20% drop.

This is what I told him to do👇🏽👇🏽
Plenty of investors have been predicting a big drop since April and look how much upside they’ve missed.

Bottom line, I’m not smart enough to predict a bottom and neither are you.
Even if you are bearish in the short term you should still be 50% invested because there are still dozens of reasons why these markets could go higher.

In terms of portfolio construction and averaging into positions this is what I suggested to him... 👇🏽👇🏽

10 years ago @EricSYuan was just an employee at Cisco Systems.

Today he’s worth $25 billion making him one of the 25 wealthiest people in America.

Here’s how he did it 👇🏽👇🏽
Born in China, Eric had his visa application denied 8 times before finally moving to California in 1997.

At the time he barely spoke English but was a superior engineer and began working for WebEx, one of the early pioneers in video conferencing.
Eric worked his way up the ranks at WebEx until the company was acquired by Cisco in 2007.

Eric became VP of Engineering at Cisco however he was unable to generate any support for his new video conferencing concept that would be more user friendly and better on mobile devices.

10 reasons why the stock markets will go up another 10% this year 🚀

As someone that spends a lot of time studying markets and investing in stocks I’ll always be more optimistic than the average person because I know over the long term stocks always go up.

Hope you enjoy👇🏽
1) Right now the S&P 500 is trading at 21x 2021 earnings assuming $165 of earnings. 21x is higher than the historical average of 14-16x earnings but we’re also dealing with some incredible tailwinds including historically low interest rates.
The S&P 2021 earnings yield (FCF) is above 4.6% which compared to the 10-year treasury at .72% makes the S&P look attractive. Why would anyone want to put their money into treasuries or fixed income right now if they have a long term investment time horizon.

Something very interesting happened today that confirmed one of my new emerging hot takes which I’ll try to explain in this thread.

As always I welcome your feedback and opinions — just be respectful.

Please keep reading 👇🏽👇🏽
Yesterday afternoon $CRM reported excellent quarterly numbers with $5.15B of revenues, a 29% YoY increase from last year. This sent the stock up 26% today after being up 6% the day before. This means $CRM added $50B of market cap over the last two days.
So what did they do today... well they announced they’ll be laying off 1,000 employees 😢

I don’t want to overreact because this only represents 2% of their global workforce but this confirms something I’ve been thinking about since April 🤔
