Volatility is back on the menu. Last week brought January’s trading to a close in what amounted to the stock market’s worst month since October. The GameStop saga hogged the headlines as the retail buying frenzy for names with high short interest raised the possibility the market might be exhibiting bubble behavior. Add into the mix the slow rollout of Covid-19 vaccines and the fear of a delayed return to normalcy, and once again, uncertainty is engulfing Wall Street. The key to success in this environment is really the same as in ‘normal’ times. Look for stocks with sound fundamentals and a history of success. Yes, past performance is no guarantee of future returns, but a history of share price growth is a good indicator. After all, growth stocks are growing for a reason. We’ve used the TipRanks database to pull up the details on three such growth stocks that have shown sustained gains over the past year – gains of 120% or more. And even better, for investors seeing a growth profile, Wall Street’s analysts see continued growth ahead. Hyrecar, Inc. (HYRE) The gig economy has exploded in recent years, connecting people with skills to people with needs. Hyrecar fills a gap for car-less drivers, connecting car owners with idle vehicles to gig drivers (think Uber and Lyft) who need a vehicle. The Hyrecar service allows drivers to rent time in these vehicles, earning money from their transport or delivery routes while the car’s owner earns a passive income from the rental fee. Hyrecar operates on the peer-to-peer model, and is available to subscribers as an online platform or a mobile app. In the past year 12 months, the company’s shares have boomed. HYRE is up 228% in that time, riding especially high as economies opened up in 2H20. To put some numbers on the company’s gains, revenue increased from $3.7 million in 3Q19 to $6.8 million in 3Q20 (the last reported quarter), a year-over-year gain of 83%. While Hyrecar currently runs a net loss – like many tech-oriented startups – that loss has moderated over the course of 2020. In 3Q19, EPS was negative 24 cents; in 3Q20, that had improved to negative 10 cents. In January 2021, the company announced partnerships with AmeriDrive Holdings, an automotive fleet manager, and Cogent Bank’s Specialty Lending Unit to increase the pool of available vehicles. The expected surge in vehicle availability has analysts bullish on Hyrecar. “New strategic partnerships involving HYRE and four key players, including AmeriDrive Holdings (private) and Cogent Bank (private), aims to more than double the vehicle supply on HYRE’s platform in the next 12-18 months… We view the announcement as a significant win for HYRE, which we believe creates a massive opportunity for HYRE to increase average active rentals to ~9,000 per day vs. ~2,800 in 2021,” Maxim analyst Jack Vander Aarde noted. In line with this upbeat outlook, the 5-star analyst puts a Buy rating on HYRE along with an $18 price target. At that level, his target predicts an 82% upside in the coming year. (To watch Vander Aarde’s track record, click here) Over the past 3 months, only two other analysts have thrown the hat in with a view on the carsharing services player. The two additional Buy ratings provide HYRE with a Strong Buy consensus rating. With an average price target of $15.67, investors stand to take home a 59% gain, should the target be met over the next 12 months. (See HYRE stock analysis on TipRanks) Alpha and Omega Semiconductor (AOSL) Next up, Alpha and Omega, is a semiconductor maker with a wide portfolio of chipsets specifically designed for the power control requirements of advanced electronic devices. AOSL’s chips are found in a range of common devices, including flat-screen TVs, LED lighting, portable PCs, smart phones – and the power supply units for these products. In the fiscal 1Q21, the company reported $151.6 million in revenue, for a 28% year-over-year increase. Earnings, which had been negative prior to the fiscal Q1 report, turned positive with an EPS of 36 cents. The gain bodes well for the company’s performance, now that the pandemic crisis is starting to recede. The second fiscal quarter results will be published on Thursday, February 4. Alpha and Omega’s stock performance is also picking up, with shares rising 123% over the past 12 months. Growth like this is sure to attract attention, and it has. 5-star analyst Craig Ellis of B. Riley Securities, noted, “Comms YE 5G smartphone unit strength lends an upside bias, and we like CY21’s 2x YY growth potential… In Consumer, healthy next-gen gaming console uptake has follow-on product and design-in opportunities. So, we believe Comms, Compute, and Consumer end markets are performing quite well… We expect above-industry AOSL growth…" To this end, Ellis rates AOSL a Buy along with a $40 price target. This figure implies ~40% upside from current levels. (To watch Ellis’ track record, click here) Though not many have weighed in with an opinion on AOSL in the last 3 months, those who have are singing its praises. Overall, two analysts rate the semiconductor maker a Buy and the average price target of $37.50 implies ~30% upside for the upcoming year. (See AOSL stock analysis on TipRanks) Lands’ End (LE) The retail landscape has been shifting dramatically in recent years, and many venerable names have fallen by the wayside. Some, however, have survived. Lands’ End, founded almost 60 years ago, has built a reputation for quality in the clothing, footwear, and home décor niche. The company brought in $1.45 billion for its fiscal year 2019, the last with full numbers available. From the 2020 numbers that have been published, it looks like Lands’ End is on track for steady growth. It posted year-over-year revenue gains in both Q2 and Q3 of 2020, indicating a quick recovery from the COVID crisis. The Q3 revenue was $360 million, up 5.8% from 3Q19 – and up an even more impressive 15% from 2Q20. Meanwhile, the company has revised its Q4 guidance upward. Revenue is expected between $528 million and $533 million, up 4% at the midpoint. EPS is expected between 54 cents and 58 cents, for a 19% midpoint increase. Solid revenues through a difficult year have powered strong share appreciation. LE stock has gained a robust 126% over the past 52 weeks. Covering this stock for Craig-Hallum, analyst Alex Fuhrman writes, “Lands’ End defied expectations in 2020 and is well positioned to grow in 2021 and beyond. The company proved its ability to execute in all environments as well as the strength of its branded e-commerce channel, which has grown more than 20% y/y over the past two reported quarters… we envision continued e-commerce growth, as 2020’s growth was likely the result of market share gains from brick-and-mortar foes rather than ‘pantry loading,’ while the retail and uniforms channels have potential for substantial growth ahead.” Unsurprisingly, Fuhrman rates the stock a Buy, and his price target, at $35, implies ~27% growth potential in the next 12 months. (To watch Fuhrman’s track record, click here) Some stocks fly under the radar, and LE is one of those. Fuhrman’s is the only recent analyst review of this company, and it is decidedly positive.

Bedankt Robinhood en Reddit, tijd voor bitcoin en cryptocurrency - BTC Direct

Bedankt Robinhood en Reddit, tijd voor bitcoin en cryptocurrency

De VS bevindt zich midden in een financiële klassenoorlog. Een cultuuroorlog over wie zou moeten kunnen profiteren van vrije markten.

En te midden van het gevecht, besluit Robinhood om de plek waar het slagveld plaatsvindt, ontoegankelijk te maken. Kooporders werden stopgezet om zogenaamd de koper te beschermen. Voor iedereen die ook maar een greintje gevoel heeft voor de underdog, zou dit een bepalend moment moeten zijn.

Dit is waar bitcoin voor is gemaakt.

It’s absolutely fascinating that a decade of crypto evangelism is perhaps on par (in terms of impact) with two weeks of Robinhood degenerate equity meme trading for waking people up to the inequities in our financial system. https://t.co/nhgDBXellx — Jeremy Gardner (@Disruptepreneur) January 28, 2021

Maak crypto eenvoudig

Maar is de crypto industrie hier klaar voor? Is bitcoin simpel genoeg om de massa te helpen?

Jill Carlson investeert in startups bij Slow Ventures, en ze is ontzettend gepassioneerd over cryptocurrency. Deze week zei ze: ‘Crypto UX is helemaal kapot. Als je het daadwerkelijk gebruikt (niet via een derde partij), is het borderline onbruikbaar. Zelfs voor degenen onder ons die het al bijna tien jaar doen.’

Met andere woorden, het is niet zo eenvoudig om zo maar over te stappen op crypto, wat sommige mensen ook suggereren. Tenzij je gebruik maakt van derde partijen die het je makkelijker maken.

Crypto UX is entirely and utterly broken. If you are actually using it (not via a third party) it is borderline unusable. Even for those of us who have been doing it for the better part of a decade. — Jill Carlson (@jillruthcarlson) January 24, 2021

Begin van nieuwe run

Cameron Winklevoss, van cryptocurrency exchange Gemini tweette dat bitcoin open is ondanks dat de handel in GameStop via Robinhood gesloten is.

‘Ik denk dat vandaag het begin zal zijn van de retail bull run op crypto deze cyclus’, tweette Jeremy Gardner, oprichter van het gedecentraliseerde voorspellingsprotocol Augur. Als Dogecoin een indicatie is, dan lijkt hij geen ongelijk te krijgen. De koers steeg zelfs met 900%, totdat de waarde weer corrigeerde.

Bruikbaar en onafhankelijk

De gedecentraliseerde toekomst hangt af van het vinden van een evenwicht tussen bruikbaarheid, en het onafhankelijk kunnen opereren van de financiële overlords.

Aan de ene kant zijn er gecentraliseerde beurzen, waardoor mensen cryptocurrency kunnen kopen. In de VS hebben die dezelfde nadelen als Robinhood. Kijk bijvoorbeeld naar eToro. Zij stellen potentiële limieten voor crypto-aankopen om aan de ongekende vraag te voldoen. En in het licht van de rechtszaak van de SEC tegen Ripple, hebben Coinbase en anderen XRP geschrapt om (begrijpelijke) redenen van naleving van de regelgeving.

DeFi is nog lastig

Aan de andere kant zijn er gedecentraliseerde financiële instrumenten, waaronder gedecentraliseerde beurzen zoals Uniswap, waarmee cryptohandelaren activa rechtstreeks kunnen ruilen. Gebruikers hoeven hier geen vertrouwen te plaatsen in de handen van een gecentraliseerde beurs. Maar de gedecentraliseerde apps moeten net zo goed werken als de gecentraliseerde apps voordat adoptie kan plaatsvinden.

Probeer maar eens aan je moeder uit te leggen hoe je bijvoorbeeld OctoFi koopt via Uniswap. Niet te doen.

Veiligheid net zo belangrijk

Maar naast een goede UX (gebruikerservaring, het moet makkelijk en mooi zijn), moeten ze ook veilig zijn. Een recent rapport van CipherTrace wees uit dat DeFi nog geteisterd wordt door hacks en slechte code.

Robinhood is niet succesvol geweest omdat het de enige manier is om een ​​aandeel te kopen, maar omdat het doodeenvoudig is, daarnaast wordt de aankoop van aandelen wordt gedekt in geval van diefstal.

Hetzelfde gemak en veiligheid biedt BLOX, maar dan voor Nederlandse cryptoliefhebbers.
