Retail Investors Have Big Opportunity in the Market Right Now

Stocks and Crypto to Buy in a Bear Market | Opportunity in the market right now.

That’s right, even in today’s bear market, retail investors have big opportunity right now.

If you’re a new investor or entered the market during the bull run, chances are your portfolio is down significantly.

But don’t let your first bear market shake you off because there are numerous opportunities out there that have the potential to yield big returns.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you’ve more than likely capitalized on opportunities such as AMC, HYMC, Shiba Inu Coin, Terra Classic, and Bitcoin during properly and fortunately timed moments.

So, what’s new?

In this article, I’m going to go over the opportunities I see that lie ahead for retail investors.

None of the information on my blog is financial advice but rather speculative content based on current information and trends in the market.

And with that being said, let’s get started.

Not Invested in The Markets Yet?

If you or someone you know are not invested in the markets yet, the two articles below are going to walk you through, step-by-step on how to buy stocks for the very first time and how to buy cryptocurrency for the very first time, too.

Much information on how to invest in the markets is outdated so I wanted to create easy guides for beginners.

You can read them here to get started:

Remember, one of the greatest wealth you can share with someone else is that of knowledge.

Opportunities in the Stock Market Today

During a bear market share prices tend to tumble, hence why many long-term investor’s portfolios tend to lose value.

And although we can’t entirely time the bottom, we know that at some point the stock market is at a massive fire sale.

Value investors such as you and I can pick up shares from our favorite companies at these low prices before the market reverses trend.

Economists, analysts, and entrepreneurs alike predict there is still room for another 10%-15% drop in the markets.

But for the record, these are just predictions after all.

The point here is for value investors to capitalize on this falling trend by purchasing low and holding during the next bull market.

Whether you choose to capitalize on opportunities presented in a bull market or not will ultimately be up to you.

However, capitalizing during a bull market will require value investors to buy during a bear market, not during the bull market.

After being involved in the retail community for almost three years now, there are stocks and crypto that just stand out as having big potential during the next bull run and I’m going to discuss them below.

Stocks Worth Buying During a Bear Market

None of the information provided below is financial advice, but rather speculative in nature based on market trends and current information at the time of publication.

AMC Entertainment Stock (AMC)

You’ve probably heard all the ruckus on AMC and ‘meme stocks’.

It’s true, the stock jumped from $5 per share to an all-time high of $72 per share.

AMC Entertainment stock is currently trading below $6 again due to this bear market.

What makes this stock such an interesting value investment is that it has a huge community made up of millions of people who plan to take its current price up again.

Plus, the company has beat earnings every quarter since 2021.

Investing in the largest movie theater chain in the world could prove to pay out big during the next bull market.

SPY Stock (SPY)

I’ve talked about SPY stock numerous times on my blog.

It’s even made the list of best divided stocks to buy for passive income.

SPY is the S&P 500 index fund that tracks the top 500 performing companies in the U.S and has been a favorite amongst value investors for a long time.

Warren Buffett himself says he’s moving 90% of his wealth to this specific stock when he departs us.

Just this thought should speak for itself.

SPY has a great track record for its increased value over time.

Vanguard Real Estate REIT (VNQ)

I believe every value investor should have at least one great performing REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust.

VNQ is Vanguard’s commercial real estate investment trust with a great track record since the recession of 2008.

The REIT is also on the list of the best dividend stocks to buy for passive income.

While the real estate market is set to retrace some of its gains, keeping an eye on this stock may provide retail investors with big opportunity during the next bull market.

GameStop Stock (GME)

What GameStop is doing with their NFT marketplace is genius and not a lot of people know about it.

Wonder why, *ahem, mainstream media*.

The video game company is making it available for people around the world to own actual digital items inside games through the use of blockchain technology.

The opportunity this technology will bring to entrepreneurs and flippers alike in the future is massive.

Investing in GameStop early on could have massive potential as our economy shifts towards the digital/metaverse economy.

Amazon Stock (AMZN)

Amazon is now affordable for just about any value investor to buy shares from.

The company stock traded above $3K per share before its 20-for-1 stock split made it available for everyone to purchase.

AMZN is currently trading below $100 per share and it’s a steal whether you’re anticipating another 10%-15% market drop or not.

Tesla Stock (TSLA)

Despite what you might think of eccentric billionaire Elon Musk, you cannot deny what the entrepreneur has created is fascinating in its own respect.

Tesla stock has shown outstanding growth in the past even after stock splits.

We’ve seen this company’s stock reach massive popularity during the previous bull market.

In fact, it was right under AMC Entertainment stock as the most searched for stock on Google in 2021.

Meta Platforms Stock (META)

Most boomer investors, like mainstream media, don’t truly understand the potential of Meta.

While Zucks might currently get made fun of by Wall Street ego, there’s a huge opportunity investing in early technology, especially a technology that one day may change the world as we know it.

Today’s innovators will carry the baton, whether old power likes it or not.

Crypto to Buy During a Bear Market

Stocks to build wealth

The market is down which means there are a variety of stocks retail investors can buy to build wealth this decade.

The problem is identifying which stocks will create the team you need to ensure your investing success.

I’ve compiled a list of stocks along with a simple strategy that’s going to allow these stocks to compound over time so that when you’re ready, they start paying you passively.

Let’s dive right into it.

Compounding starts with reinvesting

Which stocks to buy?
Which stocks to buy?

The list below is made up of cash dividend paying stocks, companies with enough cash at hand which allows them to pay cash dividends to its investors every quarter.

The key here is to ensure that you opt in to ‘reinvest’ these cash dividends back into the asset so that your number of shares automatically compound every quarter.

On some occasions, the default setting is set to ‘cash’ instead of ‘reinvest’, which means your broker account will receive the cash dividend as a form of payment and settle in your funds like a deposit.

When you’ve built a strong retirement portfolio and you’re ready to claim the fruit of your labor many years from now, then you’ll want to begin taking that big cash.

But in the meantime, we’re focusing on setting ourselves up for that chapter in our lives so make sure you opt in to ‘reinvest’ that cash dividend.

Over time, you will see your number of shares grow fractionally and then eventually turn into whole numbers.

This process will continue repeating as you continue to fund your cash dividend stock portfolio.

Which Stocks Can Take Care of You Forever?

BBIG Stock Has Very High Short Interest Data

BBIG Stock
BBIG Stock & Short Squeeze Data

Community, it brings me great pleasure to provide you with some more high short interest data. Some of you wanted to know my personal thoughts on BBIG stock.

Right away, I can tell this is a great play and see why many of you were holding this particular stock. Lets talk about it.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – you already know what’s going on, haha! I’m going to be publishing a new YouTube video every Monday and Friday so be sure to subscribe at the end of this article. I’ll be leaving the link below.

Lets get started!

Vinco Ventures, stock ticker symbol BBIG, is a company that acquires brands and grows them using their Honey Badger and Social Pulse Media platforms.

This company is fairly new to the market. Its IPO price started around $5-$6 per share back in 2018. The stock is currently trading around $6 per share.

BBIG stock has been trading double its average volume which shows a massive interest in this acquisition company. I could go over earnings reports and other fundamentals but we’re not here to talk about fundamentals.

BBIG stock is currently heavily shorted.

BBIG Stock Short Interest Data

Lets go over the latest Ortex short interest data to see just how heavily shorted this stock is. BBIG’s short interest is considered to be extremely high at 23.61%.

The amount of shares being loan is a whopping 26.91 million and the utilization is currently at 98.80!

The demand for borrowed shares to short the stock is insane! Our community has identified that stocks with these high short interest numbers means its possible to squeeze shorts from their positions.

We’ve also noticed that gamma squeezes and quick runups actually take months of buying and holding to manifest. BBIG stock was trading $1.25 back in January of this year.

If you bought the stock then, that means you you 10X’d your initial investment. 1,000 shares of BBIG stock would have earned you $10,000.

Despite the f’ery in the markets, you have to admit the stock market is an amazing tool to multiply your money.

Will BBIG Stock Keep Going Up?

will bbig stock go up

BBIG stock certainly has the potential to continue surging. Retail investors will have to keep a bullish sentiment and attitude towards the stock in order to see higher gains come to fruition.

BBIG is at an all-time high right now and it’s possible retail investors begin to selloff and begin taking profits. This where short sellers can double down on their positions and further bring the stock price down.

BBIG shareholders will have to refrain from selling if they are to set new levels of resistance and support. See, the crazy thing is that shorts have not covered their positions in this stock and you can tell due to the massive short borrow fee rate and short interest.

Short sellers are paying a 146.02% to borrow the stock! If you’re already paying 24%-32% on your credit card, imagine their fees!

With proper momentum, retail investors can certainly experience a BBIG short squeeze, where short sellers are forced to close their positions driving the stock price up.

How High Can BBIG Stock Go?

I cannot make a prediction on the stock price ceiling since BBIG has recently passed its initial IPO stock price. However, what I can tell you is that the stock has much more room for growth than it’s current trading price of $6 per share.

Should You Buy BBIG Stock?

I’m going to be one hundred with you guys because your success is extremely important to me. I don’t hold BBIG stock but have it on my list to buy. If you’re looking to diversify your momentum plays, this could be a stock with lots of potential.

Of course, it’s the community that holds the sentiment behind these massively shorted stocks. And I think that as more retail investors begin to diversify, these stocks will continue to soar in the long run as long the stock is being bought and held.

If you’ve been reading FrankNez for quite some time then you know AMC is my main play, no questions asked. This article isn’t to convince you to buy BBIG stock, but to merely present to you the short interest data so you can make a financial decision for yourself.

I’m personally bullish on this stock and can see it gaining more traction as more retail investors buy into it. Something to keep in mind is that after significant gains a stock is usually quick to drop. And this is primarily due to some investors taking profit combined with short sellers doubling their positions or new short sellers getting in.

If you’re thinking about buying the stock, I would personally wait for a dip; especially after seeing these all-time highs. Because the short interest is so high and the utilization is so high, BBIG stock could prove to provide significant gains down the road as it already has for early investors.

And lastly…

Franknez.com

I’d love to know your BBIG stock story. Are you an early investor or are you looking to get in? And, what other momentum stocks are you holding? Would you like me to publish an article on other stocks? Let me know in the comment section below.

But before you do, subscribe to the newsletter to get notified when a new blog article is published; or you can also connect with me on social media. I’ll be leaving the links below.

With that being said, thank you for taking the time for reading the blog and for being here right now. It means more than you could ever know.

SPRT Stock Is About To Squeeze: Get Ready

SPRT Stock Short Squeeze
SPRT Short Squeeze

SPRT stock is up more than 860% year-to-date and is getting ready to blow. It saw more than a 180% jump last week and retail investors are anticipating this is only the beginning.

The stock closed at $26.33 on Friday (8.27) after reaching an all time high of $59 per share. The stock remained in green territory despite the selloff from quick traders.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – SPRT stock has a short interest of 63.14% and we need to talk about this.

Lets get started!

SPRT Stock Short Interest

SPRT Short Interest

That’s right, according to Ortex SPRT has a short interest of 63.14%. This means almost 3/4ths of the stock’s float is being shorted.

Community, SPRT stock is massively shorted. If you took profits this past Friday congrats on your gains. I know a lot of you moved these to either your AMC or GME stock positions.

However, this runup seems to have been just that, a runup. Retail investors are anticipating a short squeeze from SPRT stock in the next few trading days of September.

SPRT has an average volume of 13 million but topped at 166 million on Friday (8.27). This massive volume pumped SPRT stock price up to the $50 range and beyond before getting shorted down to the mid $20 range.

SPRT Short Volume Ratio

SPRT stock had a short volume ratio of 49.45 on Friday, via Fintel. This means almost half of the volume on Friday was being shorted. Even then, the stock was able to make massive moves and still finish green both intraday and after hours.

SPRT Stock DD

The gamma squeeze we experienced on Friday seems to only be the beginning. The short interest is ridiculously high and with the overall float being much smaller than that of AMC or GME, there are more shorts in this play that will get wrecked short-term.

Why Haven’t We Heard of SPRT Stock?

In all honestly I have to blame myself. I should be on top of these plays and providing the information out to you so that you may digest the information and make a financial decision for yourself.

Two of the biggest plays in the ape community are AMC and GME. This is not going to change. However, I will be sharing information from other plays where the community can multiply their money.

There’s a lot of information and plays out there that simply haven’t had the reach they need to make an appearance to us at scale. For this reason, is why I will make this platform a designated place where you can find this information out from.

Should You Buy SPRT Stock?

SPRT stock ended the trading day on Friday (8.27) with the MACd crossing downwards. This leads me to believe that SPRT stock will continue to drop in share price before finding a new level of support.

There is massive volume coming into this play right now that can easily deflect short sellers and counter with a bounce.

The stock today is on massive discount. The biggest signs pointing towards a short squeeze is how high the short interest is.

After the rally up to $50+ dollars, the short interest has gone down about 10% meaning short sellers might have covered a few of their positions. However, the stock still has a massive short interest!

Well now there’s exposure. More retail investors now know that there is a stock out there that was being shorted on the hush hush with over 75% SI at the time.

Retail investors who made money on SPRT’s runup have moved gains over to AMC or GME stock. Since SPRT has not squeezed yet, this momentum play could be a great way to multiply cash at hand for your main short squeeze plays.

Is SPRT Stock A Distraction?

SPRT stock is not a distraction. GME apes at one point believed AMC to be a distraction but the community noticed the incredible opportunity with this stock as well.

SPRT simply has not been exposed to the community. If there’s something I’d like you to take from Franknez.com is the amount of opportunities that will present themselves to you when you visit the blog.

You have a choice to keep HODLing your main plays, or to put some money in this incredibly shorted stock. No matter what you choose to do, you will always have opportunities to multiply your money.

Announcement

Carvana Stock Is Yielding On Average 750% Per Year!

Carvana Stock
Carvana Stock – CVNA

Carvana is currently the fastest growing used car dealer in the United States. And for good reason too, but more on that later. Carvana Stock, ticker symbol CVNA is up almost 50% this year-to-date.

The stock has had an incredible runup since its inception back in 2017 when it was only worth $11. The stock is up more than 3000% in only 4 years. That averages to an astonishing 750% yearly return! Will Carvana stock keep going up? Or is it overvalued now?

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – today I want to go over stats, charts, and predictions on Carvana stock. Why? The company might just have some more room for growth.

Lets get started!

I came across Carvana stock when I was actually looking up the previous BMW M4 model online. I was curious to see how they were doing in the market and that’s when I stumbled across Carvana.com.

It wasn’t until after my experience on the website that I decided to look at the Carvana stock price. I looked at the 1 month, 6 month, and YTD chart and wasn’t surprised.

There’s a lot I want to go over so grab a drink or a snack and hang out with me for a minute.

Why Is Carvana Stock Going Up?

Carvana has had a great earnings report both Q1 and Q2 of this year, 2021. The company beat Q4 of 2020 by 31.72% in earnings per share, and Q2 beat Q1 this year of 2021 by a whopping 165.21% in earnings per share.

Carvana earnings call
Carvana stock earnings call chart

The company is doing a great job at earning revenue and keeping a positive cash flow. Carvana earned $3.34 billion dollars in revenue this Q2 which is a 198.39% increase from Q1 when it earned $2.24 billion in revenue.

Carvana’s current net income this second quarter was a whopping $22 million compared to being negative last quarter. Carvana is seeing some positive cash flow now and for this reason is why Carvana stock is rising.

Carvana Quarterly Financials Q2
Carvana Stock Financials

Because Carvana is both a traditional business and eCommerce platform, we can expect more of the tech side to be automated in the near future.

Starting up the tech side costs money, which is why we are seeing the company finally begin to reach higher earnings. The eCommerce side of the business is now performing as it should, attracting more and more buyers to the user experience.

How Does Carvana Work?

See, at Carvana you don’t have to leave your home to purchase a vehicle. Carvana has done an amazing job at configurating every vehicle at their dealer for an online shopping experience.

What makes Carvana so unique is that no other dealer is doing this. Carvana buys vehicles and stores them at their locations. They then create an online model of the exact vehicle with 360′ degree enhancement that you can toggle right from your phone or laptop.

The images are high quality and you get to look at the exact vehicle you’re looking to buy. They even display bullet points wherever the car has minor damage (if it has any) and provides you with an image of the discrepancy (as shown below).

Carvana Imperfection Model

What’s amazing though is the user experience. You also have the availability to view the interior of the vehicle and access the key feature information from within.

When you decide you’re going to buy a car with Carvana, they deliver your vehicle directly to your home. It’s this convenience in the marketplace that sells and why it makes Carvana an attractive choice to buy a vehicle from.

Carvana Joins The Fortune 500 List

In other stock news, Carvana joined the Fortune 500 List back in June of this year and is claimed to be one of the fastest rises to date.

The company is certainly making a ruckus in the industry. And this is very good for investors.

According to Fred Decker, a company should plan for at least a decade in business before going for the Fortune 500 status. Carvana has accomplished this in only 4 years of being a public company.

Carvana Fortune 500 Graph

Will Carvana Stock Keep Going Up?

Carvana stock certainly has room for growth. The company is still relatively new and as innovation and practicality grows, so will the company earnings and share price with it.

If we look at Carvana’s stock chart trend then we can see that it’s had a steady growth for the past 4 years in a row.

Carvana Stock Price History
Carvana Stock Price History

Even as companies shut down during the start of the pandemic in 2020, the company kept growing. It’s these type of companies that have innovation and an online platform that will be the future of America.

Just like Fiverr stock, the online sector is where scalability is massive. I believe Fiverr could be the Amazon for freelancers. This online marketplace is dominating its space by offering freelancers all around the world a place to sell their services from home.

Carvana’s eCommerce platform can allow people around the globe to purchase vehicles directly from them rather than going into a local dealership or specific dealership.

The potential is certainly massive in my opinion.

How High Will The Stock Go?

Carvana stock could be a great long term stock to hold. The company is still new with lots of room for growth. They are definitely changing the way we buy cars today. Like any eCommerce or tech company, Carvana stock has the potential to reach the high hundred mark to even 4-figures per share.

The company will have to continue to innovate and dominate in order to accomplish this. My Carvana stock prediction is that the price action will skyrocket throughout this decade.

There’s an online business boom that’s going to take place very soon as more and more companies begin to evolve. Whether it’s a hybrid online business model like Carvana, or a full online business like Fiverr, there is no limit to scalability online.

Who Are Carvana’s Competitors?

Carvana’s competitors include both CarGurus and CarMax. Both of these companies sell vehicles but don’t utilize an innovative eCommerce platform such as Carvana does for it’s users.

Unlike Carvana or CarMax, CarGuru doesn’t have its own dealerships. CarGuru sells cars from other dealerships and gets a cut from prospects who contact the dealers straight from CarGuru’s website.

CarMax is a more direct competitor to Carvana, though it doesn’t use the tech Carvana does. Instead, it has a more traditional car dealer business model.

Carvana is in the lead and I believe the company will continue to further innovate down the road.

“The more awareness that’s being built, I think the more understanding and eventually adoption and acceptance of buying a car online,” he says. “Certainly when you look back 10 years ago, to where it’s gotten now, it’s been crazy the growth that’s happening there.” Words from Ryan Keeton, via InsideHook.

More People Want Online Services

According to a survey conducted by Root & Associates, 53% of U.S consumers would be either extremely or very likely to purchase a vehicle entirely online. 59% said they prefer to conduct business on a website provided that they’re able to test drive the vehicle before purchasing it.

86 percent of those surveyed by Root & Associates said that they’d choose to do business with dealerships that offered online sales rather than those that didn’t, via. The Washington Post.

Buying a car online vs buying in person

Roots & Associates says that only 35% of dealers are interested in selling vehicles via their website. That’s incredible. It’s for this sole reason that Carvana has more market share online and are leaders in this sector.

Most car dealers aren’t even willing to take this route. They fail to understand that online business models are the future. It’s incredible to think just how far Carvana can scale their services.

Could they possibly one day sell more Toyotas nationwide than Toyota dealerships? We’re just going to have to find out now aren’t we.

Does Carvana Pay Dividends?

Carvana does not currently pay dividends to its shareholders. This is rather common for a brand new company with only a few years being public.

Offering dividends is something companies can incentivize to their investors as the company continues to grow and yield promising returns.

Right now, Carvana is in the growth process. Dividends could be an incentive for perhaps another year down the road as the car company continues to scale.

So, Is Carvana Stock A Buy?

Carvana stock is certainly a buy if you have a strong conviction towards the online business sectors and marketplaces. Online business models are scaling businesses quickly and shooting up their stock price as well.

The stock market has currently been volatile so I would personally wait for the markets to dip. If you’re able to catch Carvana stock while the market is on fire, I would buy the stock on discount.

People are a little weary of another stock market crash this year for 2021 but as Dave Ramsey says, we must stay calm and stay invested.

Stock market crashes are indeed the best times to bulk up on your favorite stocks at a discount.

How To Buy Carvana Stock

If you’re not invested in the stock market yet, first you’ll need to open a brokerage account using Vanguard or Fidelity for example, which are free to use by the way. Once you create your account you’ll be able to fund it and buy stock.

The ticker symbol for Carvana is “CVNA”.

Adam Aron, CEO and Chairman of AMC Entertainment announced during the Q2 earnings conference call that AMC theaters would be accepting Bitcoin as online payment for movie tickets by the end of 2021.

Adam said he had been doing deep research in blockchain technology to set up systems to make this happen. The CEO is well aware that its shareholders are big on crypto and wants to further provide value to the community.

In addition, AMC Entertainment will also begin to accept Apple Pay and Google Pay. The chains’ focus at the moment is on providing convenience on top of convenience.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – today I want to talk about what this incredible announcement will mean for AMC Entertainment, the stock, and shareholders alike.

Lets get started!

There is so much to talk about here. The Q2 earnings conference call went amazing. AMC shareholders should be just as excited as I am. Cheers to continuous growth.

Adam Aron Shuts Down Naysayers

During the Q2 earning’s call, Adam Aron confidently shut down naysayers doubting AMC’s capabilities and projected growth. The chain is doubling sales through rising attendance and an increased ticket and food sales.

“In short, AMC crushed it in Q2” – Adam Aron.

If you listened to both Q1 and Q2 conference call, then you know just how confident, mature, and innovative AMC projected itself to be this time around.

Rich Greenfield must be planning another way to strike back at the company, that is unless he’s been found with his foot in his mouth.

AMC and GameStop Partnership Teaser

AMC GameStop Partnership

Adam Aron left shareholders in awe after teasing about a possible partnership with GameStop for an ultimate gaming experience in AMC theaters.

He did not say much but did confirm that they are currently discussing innovation to deliver the ultimate move and gaming experience to both their shareholders and guests.

If we’re talking company fundamentals, talks of partnerships and innovation should reflect in both AMC and GME stock in the days to come. I will keep an eye out for more information as more updates unfold.

Warner Bros. Provides Exclusive Window To AMC Entertainment

AMC Warner Bros
AMC Warner Bros News

Warner Brothers and AMC Entertainment just came to an agreement of a 45 day window on new releases. Warner Bros. will not be releasing new films to Disney or other streaming platforms with a 45 day period of its premier.

What a jab to forces claiming AMC Entertainment would lose to online streaming. Streaming services will now be denied access to release new titles as soon as they are released.

Congratulations to AMC Entertainment and CEO Adam Aron on this massive move. As an AMC shareholder it makes me real happy to see this company succeed.

AMC Entertainment Is Working On Bringing Sports To The Big Screen

The AMC UFC showings were a massive success. Showings sold out quick and AMC Entertainment now wants to bring more to the big screen!

“My bet is that we will see more partnerships like this in the near future as venues seek to diversify their offerings and leagues look for increasingly innovative ways to engage fans”, via. Front Office Sports.

AMC UFC Showing

Adam Aron announced during the Q2 earnings conference call that the company is working on sealing contracts with the sports industry to screen several type of sport events.

These news has sports fans enthusiastic about new experiences for moviegoers. It’s this type of innovation that will put AMC Entertainment in the eyes of traditional investors who aren’t part of the ape community.

In addition, the CEO is also looking to reserve the rights to showcase more musical events such as that of Chance The Rapper’s ‘Magnificent Coloring World’. Music lovers will get a chance to experience grand shows and performances from the big screen very soon.

‘HODL’, Did You Catch It?

If you didn’t catch this bit during the conference it’s okay. It was very subtle but nonetheless massive news for retail investors.

Adam Aron confirmed him and executives would be ‘holding’ the stock. This means executives cannot sell their shares as AMC’s stock price begins to climb, preventing momentum.

Executives are required to hold their shares under contract for a certain amount of years before they can sell and cash in. For the ape community this means we’re in the clear from the company’s side that is.

So although we don’t have control of what other institutions do as the stock begins to surge again, we know Adam Aron and his team upstairs will not be selling.

A Bright Future Ahead

AMC ended the June 30, 2021 quarter with more than $2 billion of liquidity. This is double the highest quarter ending liquidity level AMC Entertainment has ever had in its 101 year history.

The chain plans to reinvest into the company to enhance the guest experience while increasing it’s revenue through new partnerships in show business.

So, what does this mean for AMC shareholders? Nothing but great news. I expect the buzz will bring in traditional investors for the long haul. AMC stock is the number 1 stock in the market right now and the community only keeps getting stronger.

Share these news with an ape in the community.

Executives Backstab Robinhood By Selling 100% of Their Stock

executives sell robinhood stock
The Tokenist – Robinhood Stock

Chief Marketing Officer Christina Smedley just sold 100% of her Robinhood stock. Do you know what the responsibilities of a CMO are? To generate revenue by increasing sales through marketing. You don’t sell your entire stock unless you don’t believe in that company anymore.

But that’s not all, there’s a list of executives who sold their stock too. When did all of this happen? All within the first week of Robinhood’s IPO, 8/4 to be exact.

franknez.com

Welcome to Franknez.com – today’s investing news, Robinhood stock. Things just got interesting.

Lets get started!

Shareholders Sell Robinhood Stock

Robinhood stock tanked on Thursday, 8/5 after several executives filed to sell their stock the previous day. The stock had risen past $70 and traded around $80 after hours.

Robinhood Stock closed at $50.97 per share.

The companies shareholders followed shortly after Vlad Tenev, the CEO of Robinhood had sold approximately 7.2 millions shares on IPO day. The IPO flip made him a whopping $275 million dollars.

Robinhood warned that investors who sold or ‘flipped’ their IPO shares within 30 days would be restricted from participating in future IPO deals, REUTERS. It seems like executives sought there chance while HOOD stock jumped up during its momentum run.

But will Robinhood be able to maintain its momentum after this pump and dump? Let me know in the comment section below.

CFO & CPO Sell HOOD Stock

That’s right, Robinhood’s CFO Jason Warnick sold 25% of his stake in HOOD stock. Jason spent nearly 20 years working for Amazon as VP of Finance and joined Robinhood back in 2018.

And we have Chief Product Officer, Aparna Chennapragada who sold 20% of her stake in the tech company. This ex. Google executive was also a director on the board of Capital One. The primary goal of a CPO is to lead and create products that deliver both value to their customers and business.

I had actually seen this information straight from Andrei Jikh on Instagram stories where he posted a screen shot saying, “Wow, here are Robinhood’s executives selling shares.. This doesn’t inspire confidence.”

If you’re not familiar with Andrei, he creates finance videos on YouTube and has been featured in Graham Stephen videos before as well.

Andrei is a Robinhood user but has not yet invested in Robinhood stock. In a recent video, he mentions he’s happy he did not invest in HOOD stock on IPO day but that he is going to keep an eye on the stock for now and see how it performs.

Analysts Stay Cautious

Some analysts are staying cautious. “We cannot in good faith recommend investors get involved in HOOD on either the long or short side,” Wolfe Research analyst Steve Chubak wrote in a note, initiating coverage on the Robinhood with a hold-equivalent rating and a share price target of $45, via. Aljazeera.

So, is Robinhood stock worth the buy? First, ask yourself if these selloffs are something a confident company would do. Second, do you trust them?

Adam Aron is Now The King Ape Surrounding The AMC Phenomena

On an interview with Trey’s Trades, Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Entertainment expresses positivity and bullish sentiment surrounding his company.

“I’m tired of playing defense, it’s time to play on the offense”, says Adam Aron.

In this interview, Adam Aron talks about the importance of communicating with his shareholders and how he works for them.

Trey’s Trades received this interview when Trey tweeted Adam about possibly having him on. Adam’s 30 year old son actually forwarded him Trey’s tweet that requested the interview. Thank you Trey for making this happen and for continuously providing value to the community.

Adam Aron explains the 500 million share dilution

“There’s confusion about what this share authorization means”, says Adam Aron, CEO and President of AMC Entertainment.

Adam explains that authorizing more shares doesn’t mean they are all going to float in the market immediately. He expressed that the last time they issued approximately 500 million shares was back in 2013. These shares were put out in the market in the span of several years. The first time they were used was in early 2016 and early 2017. The last time they put more shares in the market was September of 2020.

He explains, “foolish dilution is bad and smart dilution is smart”.

Adam Aron is a CEO that knows how to strategies the use of a dilution in a way that can be a positive development for AMC Entertainment.

AMC pledges not to use even 1 of those 500 million shares in 2021

Adam Aron made a huge public announcement on April 14th during his interview with Trey’s Trades.

He made a pledge to AMC Entertainment shareholders that the company would not be putting even one share out into the market out of the 500 million shares if for 2021 if approved.

Adam Aron President and CEO of AMC Entertainment

“We are going to pledge right now today publicly and we will file this publicly so it will be binding on us, because you can’t announce intentions and then not carry through it, we hereby pledge at AMC that if the shareholders approve this authorization for 500 million new shares to be issued we will not use one of those 500 million shares in calendar year 2021. Not one. Not one.”

— Adam Aron, ceo and president of Amc entertainment

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s official. Adam Aron published and SEC filing pledging his promise to its shareholders. You can view the filing here.

I’ve personally gone back to my proxy vote and changed my vote from no to yes.

The reason being is that Adam Aron has demonstrated to be a legitimate CEO and genuine human being that cares about his shareholders.

He has a strong will to overcome adversity, as you might know him from saving Norwegian Cruise Line from bankruptcy back in mid-90s. This man is the perfect figure for AMC Entertainment.

Trey’s Trades interview with AMC CEO Adam Aron

I can’t express in writing the reassurance Adam Aron brings to the table regarding the approval of 500 million shares and what this would mean for both retail investors and AMC Entertainment as a company.

If you haven’t watched the video yet you can view it here.

“I’m a shareholder too” – Adam Aron, CEO & President of AMC

Adam Aron has done what most big time CEO’s have never managed to do in their entire careers.

Not only has he connected with the ape community deriving from the Reddit phenomena, but Adam Aron seems to have gained an enormous amount of respect from retail investors all over the world.

Adam Aron comments on AMC short squeeze news

Adam’s focus is better directed on the long-term prospects of AMC Entertainment. Which is appropriate for a CEO to focus on.

He thinks any short squeeze probability and intricacy of share price movement is better left to analysts and retail investors. He’s pro people making their own decisions despite what he thinks.

We can tell Adam is not really allowed to discuss his opinions regarding an AMC short squeeze. His leadership requires him to discuss fundamentals and long-term prosperity.

AMC Entertainment’s message from CEO to analysts prediction $0.01 share price

“I guess if I thought the one penny guys was accurate, I might be selling stock. And I’m not selling stock. Or I might choose to run a different company, but I’m not gonna choose to run a different company. I’m a bull about AMC’s future long-term prospects.”

Then this…

“I don’t think it’s a good idea to bet against movie theaters, and I certainly don’t think it’s a good idea to bet against AMC, and I’d like to think it’s not a good idea to bet against Adam Aron either”.

Movie theater facts from AMC Entertainment’s CEO

  • Going to the movies is the second most common out-of-home experience in the United States, second to going out to eat at a restaurant (pre-pandemic).
  • In 2019, AMC sold 250 million tickets, the industry sold 1 billion tickets in the United States.
  • Movie theater tickets were sold 7 times as much of all professional sports tickets combined.

Apes Together Strong Documentary

Trey presents Adam Aron with the recent news about a documentary that’s being developed by the ape community through the Mulligan Brothers. Trey will be the executive producer.

The goal is to capture the story of AMC, the community, and process of how retail investors have come to love this company.

Adam Aron expresses his willingness to properly cooperate with the documentary makers.

“I’m not here today because of the Reddit rally or the Robinhood effect, I’m here for one reason and one reason only. The people who subscribe to your channel, a lot of them own AMC stock. And it’s very important for a company and a management team to talk to his or their shareholders. I just have an enormous appreciation to the shareholder of our company. It’s your company and I work for you. And that’s why I’m here”.

The CEO goes on to say more genuine words after this amazing quote. If you’re an AMC shareholder, you can’t help but to be proud.
