Do YOU Trade with Robinhood??

If you invest with Robinhood, you could get early access to shares of the company’s IPO. Between 20-35% of Robinhood shares might be reserved for the broker’s users. 💰

With that being said, experts are cautioning small investors— Douglas Boneparth, president of Bone Fide Wealth, said: 

“There’s the potential for a lot of volatility with an IPO as the market sorts out what the real value of the company is.”

It’s still uncertain what exact $HOOD share prices will be, but Robinhood’s early IPO shares will be available on the company’s app. UF Finance Professor Jay Ritter shared: 

“If many of Robinhood’s 18 million clients want to buy shares, they will only receive a few shares per account.”

Experts’ #1 recommendation? Do your due diligence before you invest. Here’s CNBC with more on the IPO.

Part of the reason it’s able to command such a high valuation relative to its peers is because of that technology’s potential business impact way down the line, especially as it introduces newer developments like artificial intelligence (AI).

However, that bull case is facing an unlikely opposition…from Elon Musk himself. 🤦

Trouble Continues For Telecoms

We last talked about Telecom stocks about six months ago, when their stocks came under significant pressure due to slowing growth, competition concerns, and regulatory issues. We then discussed them in October when investors dumped defensive stocks for higher-yielding treasuries with no risk.

Prices have since rebounded sharply with the broader market as investors priced in Fed rate cuts this year. However, Verizon was back in the news today for a not-so-great reason. Let’s dig in. 👇
