Investing For Growth: 3 Hot Tech Stocks To Watch

Published

on

Just a few weeks ago, Apple became the first-ever trillion dollar company. And Amazon could be next, with a projected $2.5 trillion (!) market value by 2024.

Not long before that, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos became the richest man in modern history. (Homeboy’s sittin’ pretty on a $150B net worth—an insane $55B more than Bill Gates at number two!)

Yes, yes, the [AAPL] and [AMZN] gravy trains have already left the station. However you can still find some growth gems if you know where to look.

Here are three red-hot tech stocks you should pay attention to.

(Editor’s note: If you’re not investing, download Robinhood here, collect a free stock, and start trading—also free.)

1. Okta

Okta [OKTA] is a San Francisco-based cloud security firm that does “identity management services.” So in layman’s terms, this means stuff like multi-factor authentication, API access management, network integration—things like that.

Okta shares have been on fire as of, jumping an impressive 116% in 2018—and seemingly for no apparent reason. The cloud security firm has solid partnerships with Facebook and VMware, creating a robust foundation for growth.

The Upside

Even though Okta has yet to turn a profit, analysts are bullish on the cloud stock. They expect revenue to jump 37% year-over-year to $356.5M in fiscal 2019, 32% to $471M in fiscal 2020 and 41% to $665M in fiscal 2021.

The Verdict

In addition, earnings are expected to improve by 27% in 2019 and 39% in 2020.  Analysts have an average price target of $61.1 for Okta, leaving an additional 4.4% room in growth upside for the stock.

Current price: $58.51
Analyst high target price: $65
2018 growth: 128%

2. iRobot Corp.

iRobot [IRBT] designs and manufactures robots primarily for homes. (Here’s an example what one looks like.) After posting yearly revenue jumps, the robot manufacturer’s has expanded their list of products to keep up with the growth. It now includes cool stuff like robot maps to more useful products like pool cleaners and robot vacuums.

iRobot shares took a hit in April this year when news broke that Amazon is working on robots for the home.

The Upside

And while iRobot does face some competition, the stock still has some upside.

For one, iRobot is investing heavy in research and development to build new product lines and maintain market share in the home robotics market.

As of August, the stock is up close to 38% this year. And there could be more to come.

The Verdict

Analysts expect the firm’s revenues to see steady growth at around 20% a year until 2020. Unlike many tech companies, iRobot Corp is already profitable. In addition, its earnings are estimated to grow by 28% next year.

Current price: $105.6
Analyst high target price: $106.16
2018 growth: 
38%

3.Roku 

Credit: Roku.

Roku [ROKU] is a video streaming subscription service, just like Netflix. With over 22M subscribers, Roku’s one of the largest content distribution companies in the United States.

While the OTT space has attracted heavyweights like Apple TV, Chromecast, YouTube and Amazon’s Fire Stick, Roku’s as reliable an OTT option of any, partnering with one out of five Smart TV’s in the US.

According to a recent survey by research firm William Blair, Roku’s adoption rate (meaning people who start using it) is up eight percentage points from last September. The only other competitor with similar growth was Amazon.

(Chromecast didn’t improve at all, while Apple TV grew just three percentage points.)

The Upside

Shares of Roku have risen over 16% in 2018. The company has been able to beat earnings and revenue estimates in three of the last four quarters that has driven its stock price upwards.

As far as content, the company has a catalog of over 5,000 channels, a low subscription price point, and it has potential growth in emerging markets as well much like Netflix.

The Verdict

Altogether, OTT revenue is expected to almost double from $46.5 B in 2017 to $83.4 B in 2022. According to analysts, expect Roku revenues to rise by an average of 35% year-over-year over the next three years.

Despite this growth, Roku hasn’t turned a profit yet, but they’re not far behind. Analysts expect earnings to surge by 94% in 2018—leaving plenty of promise for future scores. (If we’re to believe Wall Street.)

Current price: $60.09
Analyst high target price: $68
2018 growth: 
16%

How Big Real Estate Moguls Avoid Taxes (And How You Can, Too) 👀

Published

on

I was looking around Google for an old article on tax strategies and this five-year old video of myself happened to pop up.

I’m interviewing a tax expert about how real estate investors avoid paying taxes in perpetuity—AND how everyday citizens can do the same thing.

(Real estate—our TEMPLE I and TEMPLE II projects included—has a number of tax benefits savvy investors have capitalized on for years, including Opportunity Zone breaks and 10-year tax abatements.)

There’s the 1031 exchange, of course, which I’ve shared with you guys before. 

Just to refresh your memory, the 1031 Exchange allows you to roll over gains from your last project into a new property TAX FREE—as long as said property is worth the same or more.

But there’s ANOTHER TAX LOOPHOLE that can take your portfolio to an entirely new level by splitting your capital gains into MULTIPLE properties.

So I thought I’d share it with you guys. 💎

You can check it out here.

Let me know what you think. 😎

PS: In our next update, I’m going to break down how real estate moguls get paid from their properties…tax free. 👀

How I run a $300M+ business from the beach…(and how you can TOO!)

Published

on

Yes, you read that right.

If there’s anything the pandemic taught us, it’s that the paradigm of “office” and “workspace” has been shaken to its CORE.

Universities are teaching via Zoom, court dates are done virtually, FULLY REMOTE businesses are valued at $1B+, and legitimate Inc. 5000 startups are run from…wherever. 📲

This is my office for the day…

I am actually running our business from the beach, typing this from here.

It’s 4:28 pm CET, which means it’s 10:28 am EST and I am CRUSHING my to-do list.

(And the team will continue to crush it while I’m asleep. That’s the 🗝)

So how did we get here? 

We launched NYCE and our mission to create 100,000 millionaires in March, 2020…just as the global COVID-19 lockdown happened. 😳

As a result, we shut down our main office and set EVERYTHING up to run remotely…

SMOOTHLY! And a system that allows us to outperform competition by 200%. (You can build this system, too. More on this in a second.)

Here’s what we were able to do since then:

  • Gained 6M+ followers across all platforms 📈
  • Add 1500+ new apartments to the portfolio 🤑
  • Grow to $300M in real estate 🚀
  • 105% investor returns 🎉
  • 700K+ community members 🤝

And here’s the best part…

Having team members in all the main time zones gives us a 24-hour work cycle vs. 9-5/eight-hour on-the-clock performance.

This means we get 3x the productivity of a similar company. 🔥

Let me repeat that…3x PRODUCTIVITY vs. our competitors.

Meanwhile our project management software grants us 24-hour TEAM-WIDE connectivity that tracks all tasks and lets us know if productivity dips even a little bit.

There is ALWAYS someone senior awake. It could be Martin in Barcelona…Nat in New York…Vineet & Arif in New Delhi.

All the while giving YOU GUYS wealth hacks and daily content. 🔥

OK, so how can you do it?!

Well, the first step is to have an actual side hustle you’re launching. Not just an idea, a validated business.

MAJOR KEY: Do NOT spend money until you’ve made your FIRST DOLLAR! 🗝🗝🗝🗝

(You can catch a replay Business Launch masterclass here and see TRIBE member Nessa launched her business on the spot and got her first $45K client shortly after.)

One of the easiest ways to start is with Airbnb—you can start that in 10 minutes. Literally. (Here’s a guide if you need it.)

Once you have your business, you build a virtual infrastructure (you really just need two softwares, which are FREE), manage the team accordingly and run the business from there.

I’m gonna put together a step-by-step video breakdown this weekend inside the new TRIBE U on the FIVE key things you need to do this for YOURSELF. 💵 💎

From what software to use, how to build a team, how to keep.

In the meantime, drop a comment if you’re ready to build some wealth and any questions if you want more…

Let’s get to work. 🙌

PS: If you can’t be bothered with video and just wanna get to work, we’re hosting a TRIBE U workshop that will help you get this process started on the spot. It’s $479 $49. 🔥
