I have bought $VERB
Verb Technologies is a sales enablement technology company with multiple aspects of their product offering. Primarily, the focus on video and enabling sales reps and business owners manage, promote, and improve sales.
They are currently partnered with:
- $SHOP
- $CRM
- $MSFT
- $ORCL
- $ADBE
To allow their platform to integrate within all of their environments. They are currently traded on the NASDAQ, which means they are not OTC, providing us access to more transparency.
$VERB is leading the way for a technology called video e-commerce where the person selling can present their products at a mass scale with clickable buttons on the screen, and the entire transaction will take place right there.
But wait, there’s more!
They expect to already add additional revenue from a company they just acquired called SoloFire, which should tag in another $1-2m next year and they will cross sell into those clients as well.
They also expect to integrate within Microsoft Outlook, to be able to tap into
roughly 1 billion active users and let them use VerbLive and VerbCRM.
Time for the number break down:
- 52% YoY SaaS revenue, 16% QoQ growth from Q2 -> Q3
- Digital revenue up 28% YoY
- Total cash $10.7m
- Total assets $42.6m
- Total liabilities was $20.8m
This is a speculative investment, personally, and a personally allocation of capital for myself and my portfolio where I believe in the technology, the CEO, and the leadership team LONG TERM. But more importantly, this is an obvious next step in digital e-commerce and
$VERB is leading this chart. I will be watching them closely as I have allocated a 7% long position into this company. I fully anticipate the volatility of a penny stock and assume that this is also a risky stock.
Thread: Is the IPO process broken? Are we in a bubble?
Despite what many investors think, saying we’re showing signs of being in a bubble. This thread is designed to provide an ulterior perspective, on the IPO process and not the market as a whole.
The IPO process is broken.
The reason why I blame the process, and not market speculation/hype is directly correlated with a low share float among these exciting IPO’s. It’s simple supply and demand. There is not enough supply for retail investors, which is currently at a high due to free stock trading
apps such as TD Ameritrade, Robinhood, WeBull and Trader 212.
The process is broken.
When a company goes public, like $SNOW that has only 14% (ONLY 14% of the total share float!!) available to the public. Hedge funds, other companies, and institutional traders have scooped
When evaluating new positions, it becomes a very methodical and repetitious process over time. As I continue on my investment journey, I find myself understanding more and more about what good looks like. Especially, after you’ve read many
investor presentations and 10Q’s. However, over time it becomes more simple and if I were to oversimplify the strategy as a whole it comes down to one thing, growth. There are three growth metrics an investor should evaluate first before any time is wasted any further, they are:
1.) Past YoY revenue growth. The reason why this is significant is that it clearly shows you from a birds eye view how effective management is on executing their growth and expansion strategy. Many speculative investments (today I find them in EV, and in 2018 found it in MJ)
Warrants are a higher risk, higher reward investment made available to retail traders through SPAC’s. They trade a lot like call options in the sense where if you buy a warrant, and the stock price never goes over the strike price, it will expire worthless.
However, MOST (not all) warrants on SPAC’s have a few things in common:
1.) $11.50 strike price, meaning if the stock price goes over $11.50 you can exercise the warrant at $11.50 + your purchase price.
2.) Expires in 5 years
3.) Typically a 1:1 ratio where 1 warrant = 1 share price.
These commonalities should always be checked prior to investing into warrants.
Basically how they work is a SPAC will issue a share + a warrant under a ticker, for example, $IPOBUN. Eventually, the SPAC splits the
