It will be interesting if SPAC's stabilize here due to the good news. Would note two IPOs price over yesterday for the fist timei n a while... Motley Fool takes aim at 2 of the stks we follow-- says they will double quickly... Or could double quickly not sure... Gores Holdings VI- Special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) stocks were wildly popular not long ago. That's changed quite a bit. Gores Holdings VI(NASDAQ:GHVI)serves as a great example: The SPAC's shares skyrocketed more than 120% year to date by mid-February but are now down over 40% from those highs. Gores Holdings VI and spatial data company Matterport announced on Feb. 8 that they plan to merge in a deal that will take Matterport public at an equity value of around $2.9 billion. But Matterport should be able to grow much larger than that relatively quickly. Matterport pioneered the spatial data market a decade ago. The company's technology can create a 3D "digital twin" of any physical space. Consulting firm Accenturerecently picked digital twin technology asone of its top five tech trends of 2021. The company already has over 250,000 customers, including 13% of the Fortune 1000. However, less than 1% of the more than 4 billion buildings across the world are currently digitized. This represents a $240 billion opportunity for Matterport. The company expects to nearly double its revenue in 2022 with growth accelerating in subsequent years. Skillz Skillz(NYSE:SKLZ) stands as the biggest loser of these three beaten-down stocks. Shares of the mobile game platform provider soared nearly 120% by early February only to give up all of those gains and then some. The stock is now down over 5% year to date. Like DermTech and Gores Holdings VI, Skillz was negatively impacted by the market rotation away from growth stocks. However, the company's decision to sell 17 million shares in a public offering also hurt. Skillz's competition-focused approach keeps users more engaged than other leading online platforms. It's also driving tremendous growth. The company's revenue nearly doubled in 2020. Skillz is especially making inroads in converting users to paying customers. The mobile gaming market totaled $86 billion last year and continues to grow rapidly. Skillz should be able to increase its market share as it expands internationally and adds new genres of games to its platform. The company's multi-year agreement with the NFL could also provide a big boost. Skillz looks like a stock that could easily double your money and perhaps deliver much greater returns than that over the next couple of years.
Thinking About IMAX- The theaters are bigger. If you are going to risk it why not risk it in large screen format. $20.97<------ 0.87(+4.33%) 4:00 PM 04/01/21
Stoney I found a IPO on VR like VUZI and can’t find the ticker. It was a story about MSFT huge contract had VUZI included. Think it started with a J? I think the $800 Calls was Schwab because I recognize the interface. Hope you, Van and everyone on GBA has a wonderful weekend off. You all deserve it!
Hey Stoney. I'm not patting myself on the back here, but you know how I have said before I'm very selective of the stocks I pick here vs throwing dozens out per week? Talent for spotting talent and ico stocks, future trends. From the yesterday's MF article: Matterport pioneered the spatial data market a decade ago. The company's technology can create a 3D "digital twin" of any physical space. Fortune 500 consulting firm Accenture (NYSE: ACN) just put digital twin technology on its list of the top five tech trends in 2021. The company already has over 250,000 customers, including 13% of the Fortune 1000. However, less than 1% of the more than 4 billion buildings across the world are currently digitized. This represents a $240 billion opportunity for Matterport. The company expects to nearly double its revenue in 2022 with growth accelerating in subsequent years. -------------------------------------------- Accenture huh?

Not sure about their financial status yet, but since when does that matter anyway? I can see a huge market for this. Possible buyout early on. Gotta check the patents. ________________________________________________ It made it to $23 before it pulled back, but that's not the point. Moving on..... Now I'm gonna throw out another potential winner. And its funny because that article you just posted actually mentions them. I have been watching this one for awhile now, I found it while trying to figure out a backdoor on the whole sports betting thing. https://www.sportradar.com/about-us/our-partners/ Now this SPAC $HZON that dropped on this NFL announcement by $DYMD, I don't think they are even doing a deal with Sportsradar. They just filed their 10K and there was not one mention of this company. They are still on the hunt. They even list the types of potential acquisitions they are looking for. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1817071/000110465921044857/tm214066d1_10k.htm So here's where we're at. Sportradar is obviously looking for a SPAC to buy it out. There's only two major companies in the world that do this. Sportradar is bigger and better. When they find a SPAC to take them over, that's the one to own. As it stands now, we have no idea who that might be. Probably too small for Ackman. We shall see, but an RSS feed off Twitter that updates on any mention of this company, that would be the way to go. I mean I may be wrong about HZON not doing a deal, but there was no mention at all in their most recent (3/31) 10K. If $HZON does in fact get them, then that'll be a good SPAC to own in the sports betting space. -vz

But she hits harder. That Sportstrader sounds great was it public before? Sportrac was the big boy in stats and these guys have stolen their thunder! Don't forget about Score SCR-- Joe Terranova's pick -- they have a say in this as well.... Did Sportstrader save the SPAC market and is now the time to look at GHVI? I say prove it I want to be up in both of my SPAC investments before I buy a third! Next Week Folks It's all about Water!!! Finally we buy our water play!!! - ROAD // VMC - AQUA <--------- Aggregates and construction materials supplier Vulcan Materials(VMC) would be a beneficiary of spending on roads and bridges. Other winners include Astec Industries(ASTE) and Construction Partners(ROAD), according to Ben Phillips, a government-policy expert and chief investment strategist at Savoie Capital. He also likes Evoqua Water Technologies(AQUA) and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock(GLDD). Water stocks still look relatively cheap, he says, and would benefit from clean-water initiatives, including Biden’s plans to replace all lead pipes. Our Plumbing stock as well!!!! TPIC> TPI makes wind turbine blades and is expanding into ultralight bodies and components for electric buses and trucks. Morgan Stanley calls Sunrun a “best in class” solar installer and says SolarEdge has “cutting edge” technology with an expanding market in energy storage and EVs. Both trade at steep market premiums. For income investors, three ways to play the green theme areNextEra Energy(NEE), Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (AY), and Clearway Energy (CWEN). NextEra is one of the largest renewable-power companies in the U.S. and a utility operator in Florida, yielding 2%. Atlantica and Clearway each own portfolios of assets such as wind and solar farms, yielding 4.4% and 4.0%, respectively. << Buys >> AQUA--YES TPIC-- YES ROAD-? VMC-?
