    I'm Buying THIS Stock as the Market Crashes

    The stock market has been crashing, with growth stocks collapsing by 50-75% over the last 6 months. But there's one stock in particular that has crashed, even though it's a market leader in 3 separate industries: mobile gaming, augmented reality and virtual reality content. It also acquired one of the best visual effects studios on the planet. Unity Software Stock (U Stock) is about much more than just video games - it's a platform for building 2D and 3D experiences. While Unity stock is down 75%,  Unity's business has almost never been stronger.  Here's why I think U stock is one of the best stocks to buy now and why Cathie Wood puts this tech stock in the ARK Invest funds, including ARKK and ARKW.

Nobody knows why they hold PLTR stock. Nobody can explain the business or its market differentiator. Not even Palantir. So, Palantir stock just collapsed by over 20% after their most recent earnings call, and honestly, it was kind of justified. There were a bunch of issues in their earnings report and they did very little to address them on the call. I'm going to walk you through the good, the bad, and the very ugly parts of their earnings and then tell you what I'm doing about it now.

    Co-founded by Peter Thiel and named after the powerful but dangerous magic seeing stones from Lord of the Rings, Palantir (PLTR Stock) is one of the most controversial companies in the world. Some of their early clients include the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, and the US Special Operations Command – 4 organizations most often associated with secrecy, spying, and other shadowy operations. Their own marketing seems to only add to the intrigue of PLTR while interviews with their eccentric yet charismatic CEO Alex Karp often lead us to more questions than answers. Questions like: Is this really a company we should support, let alone invest in? To answer that, we need to answer a different question first: what does Palantir actually do, exactly?

    Palantir (PLTR) is just one of many awesome companies partnering with Wejo. But in a volatile market that punishes high-tech growth stocks, is Wejo a good investment? To answer that, I sat down for another interview with Wejo's CEO and Founder, Richard Barlow. We talked about connected vehicle data as well as their relationship with Palantir, their updated business model, unit economics, and path to profitability. I think this would be a no-brainer for Cathie Wood to hold inside ARKQ, the ARK Invest fund focused on the autonomous revolution, as well as ARKW, ARK Invest's fund themed around the next generation of internet applications. In fact, I'm starting to think Wejo stock could 10X from here and be one of the best stocks to buy now. Disclaimer on forward looking statements: https://www.wejo.com/forward-looking-statements

    The One Law Every Investor Needs to Know

    In this episode, I look at one fundamental law ARK Invest follows to pick innovative companies like Tesla (TSLA) way before Wall Street buys in. Their biggest portfolio, ARKK, is filled with companies like these, and ARK Invest's investment process is outlined here: https://ark-invest.com/investment-process/Using Tesla as an example, we can clearly see that ARK bought in at the perfect time, not because they were timing the market, but because Tesla entered the trough of disillusionment and the market was clearly pricing Elon's visionary electric vehicle company incorrectly. Wall Street cares about profit while Cathie Wood understands that exponential growth tomorrow comes from constant reinvestment today.I'm talking about the Law of Diffusion of Innovation, which is a framework for understanding how many people need to buy into an idea or technology for it to go mainstream (e.g. buy-in from Wall Street). Finally, I talk about an additional framework, the Gartner Hype Cycle, which talks about market sentiments depending on where a technology is in its adoption cycle. I'm confident you can use this framework to validate any innovation or disruptive technology Cathie Wood puts money behind, as well as use it to predict her future picks!
