The outbreak of Coronavirus has changed the way we live and work dramatically. The impact is not limited to people having masks on, and sitting 6 feet apart. The more prominent but less visible change is the transition of work from offices and commercial physical spaces to our homes. Working from home is not just limited to having a desk set-up, although that's certainly a necessity. The more critical enabler of the working-from-home era is digital infrastructure, such as a smoother log-in and access to the tools employees need to do their job. The more digital works become, the more significant is the need for easier online communications, document management, payment, and cybersecurity. Such a simultaneous and rapid shift to a new way of working has boosted companies' growth prospects associated with "work-from-home" products. At Stock Card, we live by the belief that our investment is a financial image of our lives, and it was only a matter of time before we completed our research to introduce a new list of companies that enable the work-from-home era.
Launching Stock Card's "Work-From-Home" collection
Last week, we introduced a collection called "Companies Shaping the Future." Many users told us that it helped them discover new growing companies to add to their portfolios. We hope the new "work-from-home" collection does the same. To build this list, we picked themes and markets associated with making "work-from-home" possible, less expensive, and more reliable. We have included companies from 40 different markets to create this new list. Some of these markets are:

Results
The above screening gave us a list of 450 companies as a starting point for your research. The best way to use this new collection is to look it up in the search bar, use the "advanced filters" to add your criteria and get a list of stocks that fit your investment goal. The video below shows you how, or click here to get the full list...
If you don't have a brokerage account to invest in Work-From-Home stocks, here is one of the best. We like the M1 Finance app that has an easy-to-use interface. Give it a try if you are in the market for a new brokerage account:

New and innovative products and services are making our day-to-day lives faster and easier. We drive safer, get the stuff we need sooner, pay for everything using a new online payment method, and our work, social interactions, and life are digital now. Companies enabling all those things are shaping our future. Some everyday examples are Tesla's electric cars, Zoom's video conferencing platform, or PayPal's payment solutions. The beauty of being a stock market investor is that we can be part owners of these future-shaping companies. Today, we are introducing a new list of companies shaping the future to make it easy for our users and community to discover and research them.
Discovering the companies shaping the future
If you've ever used Stock Card's Discover page, you can look up companies by more than 500 themes. Examples of such themes are "artificial intelligence" and "5G Technology." Our team at Stock Card spends a lot of time refreshing these themes and lists.
To create a list of companies shaping the future, we identified the themes and industries that are using advanced technology to develop their products. We came up with more than 100 such markets. You can access some of those lists by using the search bar on Stock Card's Discover page, or click on them below:
Results
The result is a list of more than 1000 amazing companies that live their lives to create and shape humanity's future. Some of these companies may be very small and young and maybe worth adding to your watchlist. Some have built technologies that are already widely used and could be candidates for your portfolio. Among them, you can find strong and growing companies that are available at a lower price.
We recently took a look at this the brokerage app called Stash Invest, and we liked some of its cool features. You can start investing with at little as one dollar. Have a look ...

Some times, companies with strong operations and enough cash at hand share their success with their shareholders in the form of a dividend. Many investors use dividend payout as a source of side income or reinvest the money to grow their investments. But not every dividend-payer is worth investing in. In the latest addition to Stock Card's collections, we looked for true dividend-payer stocks that are worthy of every dividend seeker's attention.  Launching Stock Card's "Stocks For Dividend-Seekers" collection We started the process by looking for stable dividend-paying companies using market capitalization, beta, and dividend yield:
Not every dividend-paying stock is worth your attention! Finding reliable dividend-paying stocks is not just about searching for companies that pay a dividend. You also need to weed out those companies that cannot sustain their dividend payout and focus on those that have a reliable history of growing their dividend yield. We added a comprehensive list of criteria to our research to find the true dividend-paying stocks, including a few critical ones:
Final results The result of the above analysis was a new set of 91 true dividend-paying stocks. We added them to Stock Card's collections, and you can access them for free by typing "Stocks for Dividend Seekers" in the search box on our website. Log in and check the list: 
Why are investors pouring money back into the stock market, despite the grim economic status of the country? -- A member of Stock Card's private community Questions similar to the above are flooding the investors' communities and online media. It seems that the stock market's movements, and investors are being quite irrational. While the answer to such questions is quite complex, there is a simple underlying logic that drives such seemingly irrational behavior. In this short blog post, we'd share the summary of the analysis we just completed at Stock Card HQ (the virtual HQ) to explain why investors are rushing back into the stock market, despite the grim state of the economy. The seemingly irrational movement of the market The three major stock market indices in the U.S. have lost between 25% to 30% of their value between February 18th and March 23rd. The decline wasn't surprising considering the effect of the COVID-19 on halting production and consumption globally. However, what the market has done after March 23rd is surprising to many people. Between March 23rd and April 16th, the same three indices have gained between 23% to 25% even though the economic activity hasn't resumed to the pre-COVID-19 levels. In the absence of economic recovery, it is puzzling to observers and commentators to see such a seemingly clear irrational behavior. Something has got to give.
What's going on here? To solve the puzzle, let's discuss how people and algorithms make investment decisions. Making investment decisions is a probabilistic process by nature. You would invest more when there is a higher chance of a return, measured by the price you are paying for assets compared to their estimated value. If you pick up stocks at a better price compared to their fair valuations, you will win. Following such logic, investors and algorithms must believe that they can invest in the stock market at better prices now. Are they correct? Let's look at the data! On the Stock Card platform and the Stock Card of each company, there is a specific section for the fair share price information. In this section, Stock Card automatically collects, aggregates, and visualizes the mathematical calculations that are commonly used to calculate the fair share price of a company. We use price to sales, price to earnings, price to free cash flow, and price to book value ratios, pull financial analysts' price target, use all that information to calculate companies' fair share prices, and compare them with the current prices. Those calculations show whether a stock is over or undervalued at its current market price. Using the aggregated numbers for all available Stock Cards, we compared the distribution of undervalued and overvalued stocks between April 2020 and February 2020. The results are quite telling.  Background image by CDC via Unsplash On Monday, April 13th, when we did the analysis, there were 6,743 companies on the Stock Card platform. Those are publicly traded companies listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC markets with a market cap of higher than $300 million. Among them, and as you can see in the above image, shares of only 2% of the listed companies were overvalued. When you compare that number with February of 2020, nearly 6% of the companies with a market cap of higher than $300 million, listed on NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC markets, were overvalued. Simply, when investors and algorithms pour money back into the market, it is because they believe the odds of success are in their favor. Because of the price declines between Feb and March, the chances of throwing a random dart at the stock market board and hitting an overvalued stock is nearly three times (6% v.s. 2%) lower now compared to February of 2020. Looking at the stock market movements with a lense of probabilistic decision-making is one of the best ways to understand why the stock market moves, albeit sometimes quite irrationally. In addition to the above analysis, the rush to invest back in the stock market is exacerbated by the fact that for almost 11 consecutive years, we were dealing with overpriced equities. During those 11 years, most investors were longing for the possibility of investing in anything at lower prices. It's not surprising to see the rush back into the market when you peel the onion of the stock market to its primary governing logic. Assuming long-term success in the stock market is dependant on investing in well-managed companies at a fair price compared to their intrinsic value. Currently, the odds of success in the stock market is higher than what it was a few weeks ago. That's why money is being poured back into the market.
COVID-19's most dire impact on the economy is its unique speed. In a matter of one quarter, the demand for some sectors of the economy has fallen to nearly zero. Take airlines as an example. Compared to last year, the number of travelers going through airport TSA has fallen by 97%. Therefore, the source of immediate revenue for airlines has dried down. The situation is no better for restaurant, entertainment, or retail industries. The impact is not as drastic in other industries and sectors. However, a 20% to 30% decline in the revenue of a payment processor and credit company is not unreasonable. It's a no brainer to screen your investment universe for companies with enough cash on their balance sheet to compensate for the lack of revenue without the need to borrow money to fund the day-to-day operations. Focusing on companies with a strong balance sheet would drastically increase the odds of success in the COVID-19 era.  What criteria did Stock Card use to populate this new collection? Having a strong balance sheet is a combination of how much cash the company has at its disposal, how much liability or debt it has to cover, and whether the company has the resources to fund its operations without the need to borrow money or raise capital. We used the following nine criteria to generate the strong balance sheet collection:

Today, during a brainstorming session at Stock Card HQ (virtual HQ), we were discussing the seemingly irrational movements of the market during the COVID-19 crash. Our very own Karen Sheng, Head of Data Science, who happens to be a professional trader too, walked us through her analysis as to where the market is headed. We thought you would also enjoy reading it. Thank you, Karen! Reflection on the market from the perspective of a technical trader: The outbreak of COVID-19 and the subsequent nationwide shutdown has been a catalyst for an unprecedented correction of the stock market in a very compressed time frame. Hindsight is always 20/20. This post intends to shed some light on the market behaviors from the perspective of technical analysis. The primary tool used for this analysis is a Fibonacci retracement, which is commonly used to identify support and resistance levels. As we wrapped up a shortened trading week on April 9th, the S&P index was a few ticks away from a critical pivot point, the 50% retracement level at 2793.28. In plain English, the index has recovered approximately 50% from the recent swing low at 2194.83.  Where is the market headed to post-Easter? The nuanced answer is that, as a retail investor or trader, we don’t know; however, the Fib levels give us some guidance on where the target is going to be either way. If the market breaks through the resistance, the next resistance level is around 2934. On the other hand, it’s also likely that the index will pull back and test a new low. Is there any evidence for such observation? For the short swing immediately after the all-time high, the index hit the 50% retracement level at 3125 and “puked” afterward. What are the implications for investments? When the market plummets, an average investor would not know where the “bottom” is. However, cost-averaging in the accumulation of stocks in the sectors that are more resilient to the shutdown (e.g., tech sector) could have yielded at least some modest short-terms gains. When the market appears to be rallying again, it’s crucial to fend off the euphoria sentiment (“The bull market is back!” news headlines) and be aware of the resistance and possible pullbacks.

Folks, last week, we talked about July as the month to review our portfolios and watchlists to identify what's worth our attention, and which stocks have lost their luster. I shared with you a four-part checklist. And, the first two questions in the checklist are about which winners in our portfolios are worth holding, and which losers are not worthy of our time anymore.
This week, I'd like to share our approach to answer the first two questions of the checklist. This is a long-form email that goes through the step-by-step process we are using to conduct our July's portfolio clean-up. Let's get to it.
STEP ONE
There are 94 stocks in my Roll With Our CEO portfolio. First, I wanted to identify the winners and losers based on their total return in comparison to the overall market. I have all such information available to me on Stock Card. If you go to Track Your Performance page, the last column in each portfolio shows your stocks' gain over the S&P 500 market index. I used that column to group my stocks into overperforming (winner) and underperforming (loser) stocks. This is how the results turned out: 
Note that an underperforming (loser) stock may have grown higher, but not just faster than the overall market. While not losing money is great, overperforming the market matters the most. If they are underperformers, you'd want to dig deeper to figure out whether you can see a reasonable path for the company to surpass the market. Otherwise, it needs to get casted to free up cash for stronger picks.
STEP TWO
The next step I took was to group the stocks in my Roll With Our CEO portfolio based on their market potential and operational strength. Again, such information is available on the Track Your Performance page. Looking at the Stock Card's 2X2 thumbnails (on All Stock Card page), as you know, the top two colors represent "market potential" and "company strength". If both market potential and company strength categories were yellow, grey, or red, indicating a potential weakness in the market or operations of the company, I tagged the company as a stock that needs a "Review." Here's how the results turned out: 
STEP THREE
Now, let me take the analysis one step further to figure out how many stocks are real concerns because not only they have "Underperformed" the market, but also they need a "Review". This is the part I'm very excited about. It's a map of my portfolio based on where I need to pay the most attention: 
In the next few weeks, I will share a detailed review of the 20 stocks in my portfolio that have underperformed the market, and also have shaky market potential and operations. The Stock Cards of those companies will get a comprehensive review and update, and you will be notified if any of them are either worth adding more to or getting rid off. Stay tuned for the next update.
NEXT STEP FOR YOU:
Now, it's your turn to start your July portfolio review. How many of your stocks have underperformed the market? And, which ones have a combination of shaky market and operations?

Episode nine of our Weekly Master the Basics of Stock Market Research webinar is out. In this episode, we answered a question submitted by one of our newest members, Michael (He didn't give us his last name). He asked, "How to get the most out of Stock Card?" Thank you, Michael, for submitting this great question! If you are new to Stock Card, if you have been wondering how to best use Stock Card to research the stock market mistake-free, this episode is for you. Don't forget to join us next week for another live and informative "Master the basics of stock market research" webinar. Register here: Register here: https://blog.stockcard.io/webinar.html Folks, how often do you review your entire portfolio? How regularly do you clean up your watchlist? For me, it happens at least twice per year. Do you remember the 2018 Castaways portfolio from last December? We went through the Stock Card's universe and got rid of the companies that were not worthy of our time and attention any more. As we enter July, it is time to step back again and get a sense of how things are going. The goal is to make sure that the stocks we own are still worth holding, and the stock in our watchlists are still worth our attention. During July, as I go through my semi-annual clean-up, you will hear a lot form me and my Roll with Our CEO portfolio.  Here is the 4-part checklist I will be following to complete my July's clean-up:
The winners:

This is a special episode because we recorded it in the middle of the week to answer the question of our latest users. The question is so important that our CEO decided to create a short, 10-min video to answer it: How to use Stock Card's color coding to research a stock? Don't forget to join us next week for another live and informative "Master the basics of stock market research" webinar.
Many people dream of such a promised land. You might have heard of the F.I.R.E. movement. The standard F.I.R.E. methodology typically assumes a person is saving as much as possible and living frugally (a bare-bones kind of frugality), then retiring extremely young. If you want to retire at 30, this is necessary... but... why not live your life a bit less frugally and still retire young, but maybe at 40 instead of 30? This is a very attainable goal for almost anyone, especially if you're able to start saving young. As we are wrapping up The Green Fund month, we are also getting ready for the investment theme for June. And, June is all about getting F.I.R.E.D. Up! The new portfolio coming to Stock Card's Portfolio Store is run by Eric Cuka, a successful sales executive and a long-time investor, who has been a member of our private Facebook Group forever. Eric has designed the F.I.R.E.D. Up! portfolio for people looking for a strategy to retire in their 40s comfortably. Follow F.I.R.E.D. Up portfolio, and get into the groove of getting F.I.R.E.D. up!  Most investors, especially new investors, look for a free and reliable source for new and interesting investment ideas. This is how Stock Card can help such investors! P.S. Turn up the volume. There is a voice over! Last week we launched The Green Fund. And, the market has decided to test our intelligent ways of investing! Most of our picks in the portfolio are a bit down due to a variety of reasons, none indicating any changes in the future market potential. Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - and I have been discussing this topic for a while now. The fluctuation of the stock prices in the cannabis sector is given and investors who are picking up shares alongside The Green Fund should be ready for even larger ups and downs. But, when the stock prices are down, we can't help ourselves but get excited. It's great when the prices are down because we get to nibble a bit more at a lower price. Who doesn't like to pay less for something he or she wants to have and hold it for a long time? Today's Stock Card VIP pick is an embodiment of what cannabis investing is all about: massive growth opportunity and large stock price swings!  Ask your cannabis investing questions to Mark - The Green Fund portfolio publisher Join me for a free, live Q&A session with Mark Bernberg - publisher of The Green Fund portfolio on Stock Card's portfolio store, founder of a cannabis-focused company by the same name, and a successful technology entrepreneur and investor. This is a chance for you to get answers to all your cannabis-investing questions and decide whether investing in pot stocks is for you. Submit your questions, and reserve your seat:  Wayne Gretzky famously said that one should not skate to where the puck is, but rather to where the puck is going to be. The cannabis industry is where the puck is going to be. Today we are launching Stock Card's The Green Fund. It's a portfolio managed by Mark Bernberg, a successful technology entrepreneur and the founder of TheGreenFund.com and an avid stock market investor who shares the vision of investing in well-managed companies in growing industries. You can get to know Mark and learn his insightful thoughts and ideas related to the states of valuations, regulations and fluctuations in our latest episode of Renegade Investors podcast. Why cannabis sector? Isn't it just a commodity, agricultural product, a hyped-up group of companies that make no money? Au contraire mon amis ... These days, anyone who touches the cannabis industry is applauded by the investors. Take Shopify (Ticker: SHOP). This Canadian company has been at the forefront of cannabis eCommerce and the investors have praised the company with gold. The stock price has been up significantly in the past few months as the result of the green rush. But, when it comes to The Green Fund, we are going beyond the rush!  We have been working with Mark - The Green Fund's portfolio publisher - to pick up six companies for this portfolio, to start with. We've researched several cannabis companies, and despite the outstanding growth each of these companies has had in the past few months and quarters, they are still poised to grow further from where they are standing today. Over the next four weeks, we will add one new stock to the portfolio, and once the month is over, we will add new companies to the portfolio as and when Mark discovers them. Usually, we introduce just a few stocks per theme. But, because the cannabis stocks are volatile, investing in only one stock may not be such a good idea unless you are sure that emotionally you can tolerate the volatility. Mark decided to give you a few well-managed companies so that you can spread your investment in the sector. The good news is that with the launch of The Green Fund, we are also introducing a new "Portfolio Follow" feature. Just like how you used to follow individual Stock Card,s you can now follow any portfolio, and you will get notified by email when new companies are added or removed from each of the Stock Card's portfolios on the Portfolio Store. The video below shows you how: 
Good Monday morning folks! This 2-min Stock Card Weekly Update ? is a recap of what our users requested and what the Stock Card team published lately.
Here's what's included in this issue: Should you invest in Lyft? What's better than investing in Lyft's IPO? New Stock Cards published and updated last week
Should you invest in Lyft's IPO?
As of Friday, Lyft is a public company! Had the IPO been delayed by one working day to today, you could have called it an April's Fool day joke! Why? It's no surprise that the company is not profitable. However, it's surprising that based on the information they have provided, the company doesn't have a plan to become profitable anytime soon. The company’s current business model doesn’t work, but it gets a pass because of its aspirations in the emerging autonomous cars market! We talked about all the details in one of the latest episodes of Renegade Investors podcast. Have you listened to it?
P.S. We are waiting for the company’s information to become available through SEC so that we can publish its Stock Card. Stay tuned!
What's better than Lyft's IPO?
If you are still insisting on owning a piece of the Lyft's IPO action, consider some of the investors in Lyft. The company is backed up by several well-operated and profitable companies that will benefit from Lyft's success but won't drag your portfolio to the ground if the company's grandiose vision doesn't pan out. For example, Rakuten (ticker: RKUNY), Alphabet (ticker: GOOG/GOOGL), and even General Motors (ticker: GM) own quite big stakes in Lyft:

Here's what's included in this issue: There is more to Stock Cards than you think! New Stock Cards published and updated last week There is more to Stock Cards than you think! Folks, in the past few days, some of you have received an email from me asking to schedule a 30-min call and receive one-month complimentary access to Stock Card VIP plan. Several Stock Card members have taken me up on that offer, and I'm so glad they did. (Tip: If you haven't scheduled your call, there is still time. Here's my calendar, pick the day and time that works for you.) From my conversation with your fellow Stock Card users and other user tests, I've learned so much about what you like and dislike about Stock Card. For example, I've learned that the Stock Card Search page needs some improvements. We are going to release an update to the search page very soon. I've also learned that most of you don't realize there are four layers of information available to you on each Stock Card. We don't stop at just giving you the overall information. You can keep drilling down and learning more details about the companies you are having on your radar if you wish to do so. We are going to enhance how the individual Stock Cards look like soon to make things more clear to you. For now, have a look at this quick 12-sec video and learn about how to get more from your Stock Cards:  If you haven't booked your 30-min call with me, and you live the United States, do it now. As a thank you, you will receive one-month complimentary access to Stock Card VIP ($34 USD value).

Good Monday morning folks! This 2-min Stock Card Weekly Update 📡 is a recap of what our users requested and what the Stock Card team published lately. Here's what's included in this issue: When do you check in with the companies you own? New Stock Cards published and updated last week When do you check in with the companies you own? Have you ever wondered when and how often do you have to pay attention to the stocks you have on your radar? The financial media and the news give us the urge to keep a tab on them every day. But it gets too much too fast! At the same time, we all have heard that if you are not attempting to predict the stock prices, you can let it all go and only pay attention when it matters. That’s easier said than done. The stock prices change minute by minute. However, the information about how the companies are managed, how profitable they are, how much cash they own, and how they are winning over their competitors does not change every day. Most of the publicly traded companies report such information only once a quarter. And, sometimes things do change in between quarterly reports. For example, a new CEO arrives, or there is a significant change in the company’s market opportunity that deserves your attention. The quarterly earnings and those rare occasions when things may change significantly are the exact moments you need to check in with your investments and the watchlist. That’s why we just released a new feature. You can now follow as many Stock Cards as you wish, and receive an email notification when new, attention-worthy information becomes available, and the companies' Stock Cards get updated.  Log in to your account, and follow the companies on your radar by clicking on the bell icon on the top-right corner of their Stock Cards.

Here's what's included in this issue: Should you invest in Lyft when it goes public? Celebrate Women's Day the Stock Card way! New Stock Card published and updated last week
Should you invest in Lyft when it goes public?
Lyft, Inc. has just filed its S1 documentation with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to go public on Nasdaq stock exchange in 2019. Lyft drivers, assuming that they have completed at least 10K rides with Lyft are going to get a slight bump in their net worth, because as you will hear in the latest episode of our Renegade Investors podcast show, Lyft drivers are entitled to a nice going-public bonus and have a chance to use that bonus to invest in Lyft's shares before the rest of us. While Lyft drivers are considering to become investors in Lyft, you and I, on the other hand, won't be able to complete 10K drives anytime soon. But, we may still decide to become an investor in Lyft when it goes public soon. The question is, should we?
Listen to the latest episode of Renegade Investors podcast to get the answer:
Celebrate Women's Day the Stock Card way!
Friday was Women's Day! We wanted to celebrate the day in the best possible way. Our way of doing it was to consider investing in women-led companies and show our support that way! What could have happened had we invested in Fortune 500 women-led companies last year?

Good Monday morning folks! This 2-min Stock Card Weekly Update 📡 is a recap of what our users requested and what the Stock Card team published lately. Here's what's included in this issue: Can passive index investing be the new sugar? New Stock Cards published last week A new hobby at Stock Card HQ!!!  Passive index fund investing is arguably the most well-accepted wisdom of modern day finance. No one is smart enough to buy low and sell high consistently. And, all you need is to believe in capitalism and put your money in an index fund that is representing the overall market, and that's the winning formula. That's the proven formula of wealth. Or, is it? Borrowing some wisdom from the nutrition and health industry, sometimes things that are deemed to be not so good for you now were once considered healthy. Sugar was once considered a medicine, and we now have started a war against it. Can passive index fund investing be the new Sugar?

A new episode of Renegade Investors podcast
The first time I heard NVIDIA's CEO saying that Moore's Law is dead, I was confused! How can Moore's Law be Dead? How is it possible that we can imagine a future with chips and semiconductors in everything we own and use, from the packaging of the food we eat to the clothing we wear? And, at the same time, say Moore's Law is dead. More importantly, if Moore's Law is dead, does it mean Semiconductor stocks and companies are dead too? As an investor, how can we stop mourning the death of Moore's law and instead celebrate it? Or, the question we'd want to answer is how do we invest in the semiconductor sector in the post-Moore's Law era?
We are going to hear from a well-known physicist, Nvidia CEO, Xilinx CEO, AMD's CTO and even Alphabet's chairman and dig deep into the technology that is emerging to continue to increase computation speed, and of course, we do all that in order to discover companies and stocks that are leading the post Moore's Law era and maybe are good additions to our investment portfolios. Moore's Law can be dead, but the investing party must go on!

This 3-min Stock Card Weekly Update 📡 is a recap of what our users requested and what the Stock Card team published lately. Here's what's included in this issue: Have you seen the new StockCard.io? Is Apple really the new IBM? New Stock Cards published last week Have you seen the new StockCard.io? We just released a new update to StockCard.io, and made several enhancements. I'm, personally, very excited about Stock Collections. What are the Stock Collections? Most of us take our stock research to Google and type something like "Semiconductor stocks that are undervalued"! Yes? Maybe those are not your exact search words, but I bet you have tried to find a list of stocks that are all operating in a subsegment of an industry. But, most stock screeners do not have detailed information beyond the standard industry and sector categories. That's why you end up googling things like that. Stock Card Stock Collections is a unique filtering function that groups companies based on those industry subsegments that we all want to know, but can't find.  Is Apple really the new IBM?  What do Apple and IBM have in common? Well, in the past few years, the media is beating a new drum roll. It's not so much about IBM. Instead, it is about how Apple - once an arch enemy of IBM - is now morphing into a modern-day IBM. Considering the recent disappointing iPhone sales and the lack of any significant innovation by Apple in the past years, is it fair to assume that Apple is the new IBM and is destined for the same fate? Get all those questions answered by listening to the latest episode of Renegade Investors podcast. You are going to hear what Tim Cook had to say, understand how Apple's CFO talks about the company, explore Warren Buffett's point of view on both companies and dig deep into the state of affairs at IBM of 2013 vs. Apple of 2019. New Stock Cards published last week Last week we published five new Stock Cards and refreshed several others. When you log into your Stock Card account in the coming days, expect to see several "new" and "update" flags on Stock Card search page. And now, click on any of the logos below to visit the Stock Card of the company that grabs your attention.
