How do yall determine what companies that you want to look into? I see some of yall saying yall find companies when they were only a few dollars, but what determines the companies that you want to look in to?
sometimes by sector and go from there. When i first got interested in Draftkings, it wasn't all over YT or anywhere, not many ppl were talking about it. it was my own pick. Not to say many others weren't thinking the same thing as me.. but i was reading about different companies coming to IPO or public via SPAC and Draftkings caught my eye for a couple reasons..
The first being that i'm a big sports fan so the name was immediately recognizable obviously but the more important aspect for me was that i knew quite a bit about the push towards making sports gambling legal (my background is in politics) and i felt that was a sector that could blow if the push continues and more states come into play.
So then i dug around some more and the balance sheet was ehh but i felt they had enough marquee names involved for marketing purposes and there wasn't another established name to worry about other than the potential CZR merger and then whatever happened with Penn and Barstools. I felt they were a little ahead of the game of those others but I did end up putting some money into the others anyway.
but back to draftkings, i felt they were better positioned and then i read into their technology advancements and was even more sold.
My picks don't always come from just that though.. i do want to know how well a company is positioned against their competitors but another thing i want to know is what's their future growth looking like for the following year and what do they have in the pipeline.
So now look at something like TTCF which I'm also bullish on. Again it checks all my boxes.. The future growth potential is there, their products are moving into more stores, they are doing a big marketing campaign this year and most importantly there aren't many stocks where you can get into that food sector. Beyond Meat is one but the market cap is already big whereas the market cap for TTCF is still small..
So that's another thing you want to look at. The price of shares isn't necessarily the thing, it's the market cap, how much room to grow is there..
So it's
1. hot sectors
2. potential growth
3. vs. competition
4. balance sheet
5. market cap (has it run a lot already)
