A Monthly Platform, Every Monday: Top Buys in Tech Growth, Mega-Cap, and Dividend Plays!

Each and every month we bring to you the best buys in disruptive tech. First Monday of the Month we announce the best three in the BCB Cyber portfolio and those desired. Remember, the BCB Cyber way invests, we don’t trade. We research and do the work necessary to understand a company, then examine it against opportunities in disruptive tech.

On the third Monday of the month, we hack a Mega-Cap. We’ll dive deep and explore these companies through a variety of metrics to makes sure we tear apart the story and get to the heart of the opportunity.

On the fourth and final Monday of the month, we bring tech-balance. It is here where we provide a discussion on the opportunity to further fuel our growth capacity. We dive deep into disruptive tech dividend plays. We explore how they can become a passive income source, that helps pay us while we sleep to tech-fuel our waking lives!

For more Cyber-Fuel on Wealth, please check out our dedicated section on the subject. And thanks, as always, for cyberizing your life with BCB Cyber.

Good morning all you Cyberpunks out there and welcome to the BCB Cyber Series that takes on the Tech stocks that can provide the cyber-fuel we need to pursue our digital wealth passions.

Today we are once again tackling those big dividend payers that can add passive cash flow to our portfolios. As we dig for the cyber-fuel we need, we are always working to make sure the best of the best, those monster companies in tech, can form a key portion of our balanced portfolios.

For Dividend Payers, BCB Cyber is always looking for a forward annual dividend yield of over 3% as our key, defining characteristic. Better yet, we are looking for great tech companies we can build on overtime, delivering consistent value and technological prowess, not to mention a little cash on the side.

Today we jump into a stock that’s knee-deep in our favorite aesthetic, the city. In particular for this one, a special type of city known as the 18-hour city. This week, it is all about the one investment company working specifically on such an idea, CIO: City Office REIT.

Focus on the City: Tech Play Paradise

The city is the most unique aspect of the cyberpunk’d landscape, with its high-flying skyscrapers, industrial parks, and development centers few things could be more 20th/21st century dystopian. And within each of these environments, office space plays a key role. Despite the pandemic influences, people will always need a place to develop their ideas and build the communities necessary for advancement.

Where we are all familiar is the cities that never sleep. LA and NYC come to mind. however, across America a new phenomenon has developed, the tech-fueled 18-hour city. From Denver and Dallas to Phoenix and Seattle, urban landscapes are shifting and changing quickly to fit the nimbleness of tech in the 21st century. This week we take on the REIT that is focused on this phenomenon with a unique approach to real estate investment: City Office REIT.

As always though, in our dividend plays we are looking for that forward dividend yield of over 3% and we definitely find it here.

A definite plus here is consistency in the yield, even when adjusted due to the pandemic, we see that CIO has built balance and steadfastness over the last few quarters.

Before we dive too deep though, we strongly advocate that we don’t act solely on anyone else’s opinion, even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely!

BCB Cyber: Dividend Payer Edition on CIO

Jumping right in now the BCB Cyber way, we cover 3 quick pieces of important information so we can get moving on our day. First, we tackle the story to find out who and what the company is, second, we look at the numbers both positive and negative, and finally we discuss our position on the stock.

This is TS2B, Tech Stock to Buy, Dividend Payer Edition and this week we are going to take on City Office REIT, the Dallas, Texas Real Estate investment innovator.

1 – STORY

The story for CIO is a straightforward one: built on focus. With properties in Dallas, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Seattle & Tampa.

With these cities as a focus, CIO places itself into some of America’s best markets for growth as the landscape of the country changes. Plus a focused strategy of combination operating cash flow growth and targeted acquisitions that fit the 18-hour profile, make CIO a truly unique play within the office real estate market.

Already, CIO has amassed a considerable footprint. Within these 8 cities, they already own 65 buildings with over 5.8 million square feet of rentable space. Not one to settle though, CIO is regularly wheeling and dealing to better position the company within an ever-evolving market emerging from the global pandemic.

2 – BY THE NUMBERS

Turning to the numbers now, BCB Cyber loves to follow five specific metrics: Revenue Growth, Forward Price to Earnings Ratio, Return on Assets, Operating Margin, and Debt Considerations.

Getting right down to it this company is making money and growin’ those revenues. Since the end of 2017, and despite the terrible conditions for offices in the last year, the company has grown revenues by over 50%!

However, while we don’t have an established Forward P/E as of yet, we do see that the market is taking notice of this opportunity for established value and has begun jumping on board: market cap, price to sales, and price to book have all risen accordingly since the pandemic began.

Getting further down the rabbit hole we find a company that is excelling at what they do. Who would think that a company that provides office space would continue to excel in a market where people can’t get to the office. Quality management had things ready for such a situation and have weathered the storm well with a quality operating margin and an effective leadership team providing value to investors.

Finally, we turn to debt. While the real estate business is often built on debt we see the same here.

There is in fact a substantial debt position when compared to cash reserves but to date, with the established and stable dividend discussed above, CIO has been able to deftly manage the storm and stay not only on target with the dividend despite the debt but also by providing solid cash flow to work with.

All in all, a very positive outlook given the last year that the world has seen.

3 – THE BCB CYBER TAKE

As of this morning, on 03.29.21, our own portfolio has built up an initial position of 1.46%, with an average cost of $9.65. This is definitely a dividend-payer worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire! Just so happens that we, at the beginning of the month, suggested a buy price of $10.50 and as of today’s pre-market share price, the stock sits at exactly that!

We’ve been excited to add to our position and maintain our cost average under $10 but will be looking to add till this one gets to 3% in our portfolio. This is a great company that has weathered the storm and is making the moves to ensure its financial capacity to take advantage of new opportunities. We’ll be keeping a watchful eye though on the metrics for this company, especially the debt, and should they stay at $10.50 or lower, we’ll be working to build that 3% position in our portfolio.

Remember, we are just like the masses, struggling to make ends meet and build our future. So, we start building and keep doing our homework. This is just what we need to start us on our journey toward cyberizing our lives. Remember too, never place a market order, only go to the LIMIT! Get exactly the price we set for ourselves!

Finally, as always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!

03.27.21

Good Saturday morning all you cyberpunks out there, living that high tech – low life we all relish. We’ve got our newest graphic for you all and a teaser for our coming Wealth Monday. We are going to be jumping in to take a look at City Office REIT, that definitive investor in 18-hour cities.

Super excited to cover ticker CIO, City Office REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), which invests exclusively in 18-hour cities. And, we all know we love our cities. Cities covered by CIO include Dallas, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, Seattle, and Tampa Bay!

Make sure to come back tomorrow with our newest Skylines and Skyscrapers, where we will be checking out New York City, New York, USA.

Good Monday everyone and welcome to the BCB Cyber Series that takes on the tech stocks that can provide the cyber-fuel we need to pursue our digital wealth passions.

This week we revisit one of the most exciting medical technology companies that have become among the best in the business and their market cap proves it! Remember, whenever we do a revisit, our new material is posted on top of the previous in red so we can pick out the newest with ease all the while keeping the newbies up to date on a full, developing analysis. Now on with the show and the best name in Medical Technology we know: Medtronic.

Top Tech Stocks to Buy in Tech: Medtronic

Today, we are returning to Mega-Cap Tech Stocks, and this month that once again means the world’s largest medical device maker: Medtronic.

Before we get there though, as always, our reminder: with BCB Cyber we dig for the cyber-fuel we need, we are always working to make sure the best of the best, those monster companies in Tech, form a key portion of our portfolios.

For all these mega-cap stocks, just like Investopedia, our core defining feature is that the market cap is over $200 Billion! As always though, we dig deeper still, looking for those companies that are pushed by incredible disruptive tech with a great story, not to mention having a solid base in the numbers.

Before we dive too deep though, we strongly advocate that we don’t act solely on anyone else’s opinion, not even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely!

Jumping right in now the BCB Cyber way, we cover 3 quick pieces of important information so we can get moving on our day. First, we tackle the story to find out who and what the company is, second, we look at the numbers both positive and negative, and finally we discuss our position on the stock.

This is TS2B, Tech Stock to Buy, Mega-Cap edition, and this week we are going to take on Medtronic, the Dublin, Ireland, device-based medical therapy maker.

BCB Cyber: Mega-Cap Analysis for 03.22.21

1 – STORY

Medtronic

Medtronic is simply one of the most well run, diversified, and healthy company’s we’ve seen. Particularly at the level of a Mega-Cap in Health and Biotechnology! Not only is Medtronic diversified into four aspects of quality health businesses (Cardiac/Vascular, Minimally Invasive Therapies, Restorative Therapies, and Diabetes), the company is also diversified across markets seeking to building a strong base across all humanity.

When we posted the above graphic in January, we expected the proportionality of revenue across the companies several divisions to continue unchecked and in a quick glance it has done exactly that (see below).

However, where this company truly excels is in its push to bring forth truly disruptive, yet profoundly helpful technologies. With a large, well qualified and respected emergent product line, the sky is the limit for Medtronic.

Medtronic company info (image gallery above) from JP Morgan Healthcare Conference Presentation January 2021 blended with BCB Cyber Fuel for a whole new experience!

As if being best in class and built on a terrific pipeline that is “the strongest in the companies history” weren’t enough. Medtronic has also broken through and could be considered the top-notch exemplar for all ESG world investors to look for!

From January, we spoke a about the new technology being acquired and employed by Medtronic, and as a follow up we wanted to see the impact of those elements in coordination with revenue. As the following graphic illustrates, we’ve seen sequential growth over previous quarters to match however, the pandemic still had a significant impact in December and January of 2020/2021 respectively. However, new acquisitions are paying off with a stipulated total value consideration of $1.7 Billion.

We see this understanding expanded when Medtronic speaks of the NeuroMod & Specialty Therapies that have advanced to market. Delays due to pandemic drive occurred in sales but there is a great opportunity for future growth.

Best of all, since our last visit, Medtronic did post a surprise profit and the CEO of Medtronic went on CNBC with Jim Cramer to discuss the company’s return to normalcy while the pandemic begins to wain, posting a surprise beat in earnings per share (EPS) and that special pipeline we’ve been touting.

However, we would be remiss not to point out that Medtronic has seen some other difficulties in this tumultuous time. A recall was announced in the last month of “HVAD pump implant kits from the U.S. after receiving complaints that some devices have failed to start or restart promptly. Two deaths have been linked to the fault. Other kits have only restarted after a delay.”

Definitely cause for concern, no doubt, and our hearts go out to those families affected. While Medtronic works to correct the issues, there is hope as Medtronic has spent decades specializing in heart implant kits that have also saved countless lives and will find a ready fix to continue those efforts.

2 – BY THE NUMBERS

BCB Cyber turns now to follow five specific metrics: Revenue Growth, Forward Price to Earnings Ratio, Return on Assets, Operating Margin, and Debt Considerations.

Starting out, Medtronic continues to be a bit of rule breaker for BCB Cyber as the market cap is slightly under the $200 Billion Mark.

Perhaps more importantly, Medtronic has a forward P/E that is starting to rebalance to where it was before the global health crisis began, as are Price/Book an Price/Sales ratios. This continues to be true as the stock of Medtronic continues to sit in the low 20s for a Forward P/E. The market picture for such large, impactful companies has definitely become more clear and despite the chaos in the world does appear to be settling in.

Medtronic’s revenue numbers continue to be strong despite the global headwinds of the past year. The company has consistently produced numbers in the 28 – 32 Billion Dollar range (above).

This continues to be reflected in the quarterly revenues announced since our last post as well seen in the chart below.

Now we turn to the effectiveness of management and profitability matrices highlighted by Operating Margin and Return on Assets.

While these numbers have remained strong they have come down some highlighting the continued impact of the pandemic.

Now we turn to the balance sheet. Medtronic in January demonstrated a quality cash position and a strong Operating Cash Flow (ttm) of $6Billion, we do see that total debt (ttm) has doubled the current cash position and does require a watchful eye to ascertain whether or not this will continue to be manageable.

The trends have continued as the world health crisis has continued to have an impact but as the interview above with Jim Cramer suggests, it was not near so bad as feared by many analysts.

To highlight the cash picture, Medtronic released the following describing their current free cash flow:

Most importantly here, while the company has taken a hit in Free Cash Flow, despite a global pandemic that had to repurpose their main source of business, they are still producing significant FCF and maintaining their level of investment in the future.

3 – THE BCB CYBER TAKE

As of this morning, on 03.22.21, my own portfolio has increased to a position of 8.33% from 3.48% in Medtronic with a cost basis (average cost) of $108.56.

The analysts at Simply Wall Street appear to see the same impact we have discussed above yet, much as we do, keep the future prospects in check. However, with many of the newly developed and acquired products just now coming on line and many procedures having been delayed by the pandemic, we see a brighter future than most and believe it was reflected in that last quarter.

We at BCB Cyber definitely believe this is a mega-cap worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire! In fact, we’d be willing to say that despite the rough going as of late, its one of the best disruptive tech plays in all of BioTech, definitely a best in class kinda company.

In January, analysts definitely seemed to agree as Morgan Stanley gave Medtronic an upgrade and many others are recommending a buy, particularly given the fact that the stock price does seem to sit in value territory (see below)!

A quick glance and we see the picture from January remains unchanged in March 2021.

Plus, in terms of opportunity, we may be seeing a special chart pattern emerge. Just to close with an optimistic outlook, we are particularly interested in the strong ascending triangle that has appeared in the Medtronic stock chart. Worth a look!

Remember, we are just like the masses, struggling to make ends meet and build our future. So, we start building and keep doing our homework. This is just what we need to start us on our journey toward cyberizing our lives.

BCB Cyber believes in the potential for this risky, tech innovator and loves the story. However, this is definitely a stock worth buying at the right price (we previously said $115/share, but would now move to $120/share given this analysis). We are still on board!

Remember we at BCB Cyber balance our perspective and cyberize our wealth over a longer term of 5 years or more. We will definitely be looking to add balance to our position, with the right portfolio proportions of between 4 to 5 percent and at the right price over the long term. Medtronic, definitely puts the “Tech into med-tech!”

Remember, as always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!

03.20.21

Good Saturday morning all you cyberpunks out there, living that high tech – low life we all relish. We’ve got our newest graphic for you all and a teaser for our coming Wealth Monday. We are going to be jumping in to take a look at Medtronic, a company we’ve covered quite a bit but since we are cyberpunk, we have a special place in our digital hearts for med-tech!

And as we covered an extended tech growth stock analysis on Palantir this past Monday, we would be remiss not to make sure to share out Palantir’s last posted interview with CNBC’s Wilfred Frost that dropped just a few days after our own post. Many thanks to Palantir, we hope they keep on sharing!

Great insight on a fantastic tech growth company, but as always we advise the savy patience and tech’d up understanding developed through homework to make our own individual decisions.

Make sure to come back tomorrow with our newest Skylines and Skyscrapers, where we will be checking out Shenzen in Guangdong, China!

Good Monday everyone and welcome to the BCB Cyber Series that takes on the Tech stocks that can provide the cyber-fuel we need to pursue our digital wealth passions.

This week we revisit one of the most exciting digital analytics companies that have recently jumped into the public markets: Palantir. Remember, whenever we do a revisit, our new material is posted on top of the previous in red so we can pick out the newest with ease all the while keeping the newbies up to date on a full, developing analysis. Now on with the show and the company with a name built on the seeing stones of Lord of the Rings, Palantir.

We began our analysis of Palantir back on December 7th, 2020, and today we are back on track in the month of March with Tech-Growth Companies looking again at Palantir. As always, we are digging for the cyber fuel we need. For all these growth stocks we are looking for top-line revenue growth of 20% or more!

Growth of Palantir

From the December 7ths report (at left; top on a cell phone) to March 15 (at right; bottom on a cell phone), we can see the dramatic boost in PLTR Revenue. Charts from Yahoo! Finance blended with a little cyber-fuel.

Palantir’s continuing growth trajectory certainly qualifies it as a perfect growth stock prime for analysis. Before we dive too deep though, as always BCB Cyber loves the deep dive, we strongly advocate that you don’t act solely on anyone’s opinion, even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely!

Jumping right in now, we do these quick deep dives so we can all get the info we need but also do so in a way that keeps us going in our day. To do this the BCB Cyber way we cover 3 quick pieces of important information. First, we tackle the story to find out who and what the company is, second, we look at the numbers both positive and negative, and finally we discuss our own BCB Cyber position.

This is TS2B, Tech Stock to Buy, hi-tech growth edition, and this week we are going to take on Palantir, the Denver, Colorado Software Infrastructure company forging new paths ahead when it comes to data integration all the while fulfilling a promise to keep America safe.

We’re gonna be honest, Palantir for us is still all about the story right now. We do love that revenue growth though. So, let’s wade in and keep a watchful eye.

Palantir has incredible promise and a first foot in the door with industry giants defense, aerospace, and health care. Where they go from here will definitely be a story worth following. And so far, the story is just getting better.

1 – STORY

Palantir presents us with an incredible story capable of redefining so much in the world of analytics and data. This company, while oft secretive, presents a unique opportunity in driving how data becomes the core tool and structure redefining our world.

One of the most unique aspects of Palantir is how it represents a new OS for the modern enterprise with the capability to bridge and drive industry in a number of ways.

This comes with a fantastic growth opportunity as we have seen not only a current increase of 52% year over year for revenue but also the overall projections have gone up for the year.

Most well known for its ties to the U.S. government and its promise to help keep America safe, this company continues to grow and develop these opportunities in a variety of capacities.

However, the story that provides its greatest opportunity lies in its ability to reach out across the industry and redefine what it means to do business. Palantir, with the standing global health crisis ongoing, has sought a massive impact on public health regarding the security of scientific platforms.

Palantir is joining the biggest names in data like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook when it comes to taking on global health challenges.

In the first few months of 2021, the pace of this has only accelerated as a newly announced partnership IBM joining deepening ties to others like British Petroleum (BP) and 3M under the new technologies offered in Palantir’s Industry-based Foundry product line. Ultimately, Palantir is helping to push new technologies that do everything from reducing a companies carbon footprint, to assist with vaccine delivery, to boosting AI data processing and fueling dynamic supply chains! The sky is definitely the limit here.

Above are several articles sourced from Palantir’s Media site that demonstrate the accelerated integration of Palantir products into a host of the world’s most challenging problems.

In terms of the disruptive nature of their technological prowess, the numbers speak for themselves. Speed, efficiency, and impact. In one case study highlighted by Palantir, within two weeks they assisted one company in saving $57 million in the case and provided the opportunity for an additional $1billion savings on an annualized basis.

For others, Palantir simply changes the way they do business!

One of the best pieces of news about the story on Palantir though is the most recent announcement that Palantir was putting its money to work on investment in their future as opposed to sharing earnings now. They made the claim that short-term investors may want to look elsewhere, but this is right up our alley as we are long-term. We love a big, disruptive tech story that drives its own ability to help dominate future opportunities. Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood put this rather eloquently on CNBC’s Halftime Report back in February.

Thanks to Disruptive Innovations for their capture of Cathie Wood’s thoughts on Palantir

2 – BY THE NUMBERS

Now for the updated numbers on Palantir. BCB Cyber loves to follow five specific metrics: Sales/Revenue Growth, Forward Price to Earnings Ratio, Return on Assets, Operating Margin, and Debt Considerations.

Again, we see above the expanded revenue growth of Palantir which 2019 to 2020 demonstrated nearly 32% growth year over year in sales/revenue. This is spectacular and exactly what we hope to continue to see. While revenue is definitely above our 20% growth mark, there are concerning signs that we continue to follow.

As the Forward P/E becomes established, we are at first taken aback as to the full metric. Still sitting around 200, Palantir is very expensive at first glance. However, as sales have continued to climb at an accelerated pace we see that since December the P/S ratio has declined coming more in line with September 2020; albeit still noticeably higher. The stock is not as extended as it was representing a bit more value than before. A buying opportunity???

While Palantir is not yet profitable, again we are excited to know that management (from the story above) is asking investors to continue to expect this as they reinvest earnings toward building the company and their role in the addressable marketplace (meaning they want to be a bigger player). The growth in sales helps to know that expanded costs have something to build on as well and that the only source of expansion is not just debt.

This is why we must be diligent and continue our homework on this amazing tech company. Next is the balance sheet so that we can see how the companies expansion is doing as a matter of course. In other words, is does the company still possess enough cash in the mrq (most recent quarter) to cover its concurrent debts.

While Palantir, does represent some risk, it has created for itself a solid base to stand on. Its cash position has been bolstered in 2020 and 2021 to a level that debts seem very manageable and still possess room for growth. And grow is exactly what Palantir is doing.

Only time will tell regarding the development of Palantir’s cash position, but as revenues continue to grow at these high levels, it is quite possible for Palantir to develop its growth trajectories and build a solid cash footing to stand on; particularly in reference to its debts.

3 – THE BCB CYBER TAKE

Where the analysts of places like Simply Wall Street have updated their current assessment to an “adequate” balance sheet from an “excellent” one, much of which we explored above, their current growth trajectories certainly seem to be under-representing the case.

Growth at over 30% in revenue is also expected for this and next year, and we at BCB Cyber don’t see how this is limited as the story expands in both governmental and industrial applications. Palantir is proving to be a formidable entity that is well-positioned to gain a strong foothold in the analytics industry across sectors and purposes.

As of this morning, on 3/15/21, our stake in Palantir has risen to 3.49% of our portfolio with a cost basis of $23.05. As the stock has gone from an IPO at around $10 and has tracked as high as $45 at its 52-week high, we’ve seen a lot of volatility in this company’s shares and many opportunities for “buying the dips.” However, we are careful as we invest for the long term opportunity, our target is anything under $25. Pre-market on 3/15/21 we sit at a price of $27.27 (6:40AM MDT), a bit too expensive for our tastes. However, while we have increased our price target, we continue to do so with an eye to price as we pursue a 5% portion in our portfolio.

Remember, we are just like the masses, struggling to make ends meet and build our future. So, we start building and keep doing our homework. Adjusting and flexing over time, if we see a massive spike we may lighten our position some, but always with an eye to keep our portfolio percentage at 5% in Palantir. The same goes in reverse, so if tech takes a nose dive, you can bet we’ll be watching and looking to add. This is just what we need to start us on our journey toward cyberizing our lives.

BCB Cyber believes in the potential for this risky, tech innovator and loves the story. However, this is definitely a stock worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire! Remember we balance our perspective and cyberize our wealth over a longer term of 5 years or more. We will definitely be looking to add to our position, with the right portfolio proportions of 5 percent and at the right price.

Remember, as always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!

What is the Best Use of my $1400 Stimulus Check???

Past

In mid-November 2020, Bitcoin shot past $18,000. By December 28th, 2020 Bitcoin hit nearly $28,000 (see below). We did our best to share the prospects.

Present

Oh, my that seems so long ago… Particularly, as this morning we skipped, if momentarily over the $60k mark!

So basically, all it’s done is double in value! And we here at BCB Cyber are more excited than ever and are back to share again. A lot of what follows was what we wrote back in December, but is still just as relevant and we felt, needed to be said again. In crypto we trust, and in bitcoin, there is a unique opportunity set before us.

Many Americans are set to receive now a third stimulus check of $1400. As we have all suffered under the weight of a terrible pandemic, much is uncertain for all of us. Above all else, we entreat everyone to protect themselves and make the wisest use of the money in their unique situations that help take care of their individual needs. However, if those needs are already met, we should all be thinking about the opportunity to develop our financial well-being so that our needs in the future are maintained as well.

All that being said $1400 doesn’t get us very far. Let the world sit and criticize each other. We, cyberized individuals, are working and building our future. We should be working on doing our homework and taking care of business for ourselves. For, in the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. Bitcoin is worth a look!

So now we get down to business. Throughout the month of March, we are covering three stocks that can help on our tech-fueled wealth dreams as well. Be sure to check these out along with your homework on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies.

In just two days we’ll begin covering these stocks in earnest. If you want to know where to start your homework join us as we provide a great review to start from. And this week that means a growth stock critical analysis on Palantir.

Future

In the meantime, something truly unique is going on. Bitcoin is creating immense value for the faithful again.

One of the experts at a leading global bank, that being Citibank’s Tom Fitzpatrick, has predicted that by the end of 2021 bitcoin would peak at $318,000. For bitcoin to do that, it would need to reach a multiple of approximately 5.3 times the break over $60k.

Now for the magic, if we invested our $1400 at our new high and Bitcoin does peak at such a level in 2021, we would all have a balance of approximately $7,420. That’s over $7K! I’ll bet that would help out our individual finances a great deal. And the best part, there are estimates that place the opportunity much higher!

Even if Bitcoin performs only half as well as that prediction it would still represent nearly $3500. Still, far better than that $1400; over double again. And finally, even if it floats around current levels the future is bright as some of the more respectable names in the field have stated their belief that Bitcoin will even go to $1,000,000 (see vid below). That would turn our $1400 into over $23,300.

Thanks to Paul G. Potts

So, if we believe that Bitcoin is a true store of value, represents the digital future that is now, and offers a simple opportunity to join a worldwide financial revolution of decentralized finance, it’s time for us to take action. Bitcoin HODLing is definitely for us! We know it is for BCB Cyber at least! Best wishes to all and look forward to seeing everyone back here next Monday for some great new stock picks!
