We've written quite extensively about what to look for when buying a new stock. Great management, a vast market opportunity, and scalable margins are all accolades to consider when evaluating a company's future upside potential.   But something we discuss less frequently is when it might be time to sell.   Just as there are indicators that suggest when it's time to buy a stock, there are also red flags that suggest when there might be choppy waters on the horizon.   So what exactly should investors watch out for? And does it depend on your investing style? Should biotech investors look for different things than tech investors?   In our September Team Podcast, our lead advisors share the red flags that we watch out for as investors. We describe several warning signs -- and several of them aren't immediately obvious -- that could indicate there is upcoming pain for a company and its shareholders.   We also hold our own recommendations to the same high standard! In an upcoming premium update, we'll be taking a look at a few very specific red flags that we've noticed on several of our previous recommendations. If you'd like to see that report (which will publish on Wednesday, September 22), sign up for 7investing today.   Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Altria and GoPro. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.    Welcome to 7investing.

We’ve heard a lot about COVID boosters and the latest FDA ruling saying that only the elderly and people with certain underlying conditions should get them. That’s almost certainly not the last word and Maxx Chatsko joins 7investing Now to explain what’s happening and what might happen. We’ll also discuss the debt ceiling -- something you’re likely going to hear about a lot over the next few weeks. Maxx will join Dan Kline to take a look at what the debt ceiling actually is and how what may or may not happen in Congress will impact the economy. Welcome to 7investing.

Intuit plans to buy Mailchimp for $12 billion in order to enhance its services for small businesses. Do we like the deal? Does it make sense? We’ll have most of the 7investing Team on Friday’s “7investing Now” to break down this surprise purchase.

Sports betting has been a bit of a holy grail for investors. It’s an area that clearly presents a lot of opportunities, but it’s also a crowded space where many of the top players have struggled to have a differentiated product.   Quarter4 CEO Kelly Brooks brings a different perspective to the space. She’s a technology leader who has driven the development of hundreds of innovative software applications across North America. A self-professed outsider in the sports world, Brooks saw an opportunity to deploy artificial intelligence (AI) to sports betting producing not just predictive analytics, but content, and data for bettors, gambling sites, and even sports broadcasting.   Brooks brought a wealth of technology experience and an outsider’s perspective to a world that still has a lot of roots in smokey backrooms where mysterious old men serve as bookmakers. Quarter4 has used AI to create actionable intelligence across the entire sports world. Yes, this data can be used in the gambling world, but it also has value to scouting departments looking for an edge. This is AI as an evolution of “Moneyball,” and, while it’s still the very early days for Brooks and her company, it’s clear that she sits on the edge of a new frontier in sports and gambling.   Sports betting and the potential for AI in the space was the core topic Brooks discussed when she joined Dan Kline on the 7investing podcast.

We've all experienced it. That favorite pair of sneakers or trusty yoga mat, both of which have soaked up who-knows-what over the years, eventually begs for retirement. You probably toss these items into the trash and never think about them again. The same is true for clothing, furniture, and thousands of other items that get us through everyday life, although some can be donated for a useful second life. Maybe "never think about them again" is a little too harsh. Consumers, especially younger consumers, are increasingly aware of the environmental footprint of these end-of-life decisions for the "stuff" they own. The generational shift in consumer behavior can certainly be counted as progress, but it's important to consider an item's full lifecycle. After all, an estimated 75% of the environmental impact for the items we own comes from the selection of raw materials used to manufacture them. That's all baked in well before they end up in a landfill. Companies are conscious of consumer attitudes about sustainability and eager to discover solutions, but they face significant challenges in finding reliable, high-quality sources of sustainable materials. We've all seen headlines about shoes made out of recycled water bottles, or car panels molded from seaweed, but these types of headline-grabbing "solutions" are impossible to scale, inject uncertainty into supply chains, and face considerable economic headwinds. Enter privately-held Bolt Threads. The sustainable materials company is using synthetic biology to create reliable supply streams of high-quality materials for some of the world's leading brands. The three publicly-disclosed material brands each solve specific problems in the select markets: Microsilk: Spider silk made with genetically-engineered microbes for improved cost and scale. These natural fibers can replace synthetic polymers in various fabric applications. Read more. B-silk Protein: Stumbled upon during the development of Microsilk, this ingredient can be added to cosmetic or personal care products to replace keratin (derived from animals) and silicone (a synthetic polymer). Read more. Mylo: A mycelium material used to replace animal leather without compromising on performance or luxury. Global companies launching Mylo products soon include adidas, lululemon, and Stella McCartney. Read more. 7investing Lead Advisor Maxx Chatsko sat down with Bolt Threads CEO and co-founder Dan Widmaier to discuss the opportunities and challenges in sustainable materials and the importance of making synthetic biology real for consumers with visible technology. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include adidas, Allbirds, Ginkgo Bioworks, Kering, lululemon, Warby Parker, and Unilever. 7investing Lead Advisors and Dan Widmaier may have positions in the companies that are mentioned. This interview was originally recorded on September 9th, 2021 and was first published on September 14th, 2021.

It’s a health-focused Monday show as we examine the growing trend of at-home testing for everything from COVID to other contagious diseases. We’ll also look at hybrid telemedicine where a nurse visits your home as part of your telemedicine appointment. In addition we will take a look at what might be next for MRNA vaccines, Moderna, Pfizer, and whether any other companies have shown promise in that space.

You've heard us speak quite a bit recently about the space economy, and that's for good reason. The final frontier is opening up a trillion-dollar commercial opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs to launch new businesses into. Some companies are deriving revenue directly as the picks-and-shovel providers -- building the rockets, satellites, or space-related hardware and infrastructure. Others are harnessing the power of satellite-based technology -- using PNT for precision timing or GPS for precision navigation. And ambitious entrepreneurs are coming up with new opportunities every month -- from space tourism to weather forecasting to harnessing solar power more efficiently and directly from the sun. This gives investors a huge number of options to choose from. A ton of space-interested companies are raising capital through SPACs, and several have stocks that are publicly-traded on American exchanges. But with so many options available, how should investors approach the space economy? Is top-line growth the most important, and industry consolidation will make the strongest companies even stronger? Or are there less-obvious metrics that we should be paying more attention to? To answer those questions, we've brought in two experts who are actively investing in outer space. Andrew Chanin is the CEO and co-founder of Procure AM and Micah Walter-Range is the President of Caelus Partners. Together, they created America's very first Space-themed ETF, which trades with the ticker "UFO." In an exclusive interview with 7investing CEO Simon Erickson, Andrew and Micah describe why the space economy is taking off as an option for investors. They describe their methodical framework of their SPACE Index and a handful of their holding. They also explain several things that investors should consider when investing in space-themed companies, such as the geopolitical risks of international governments, the decision-making of management teams, and the importance of having a global marketing strategy. In the final segment, the two also share their likelihoods of personally taking a space tourism flight and a few things they're very interested in watching. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Rocket Lab, Sky Perfect, and Virgin Galactic. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

We’ve all heard automakers talk about how a shortage of chips/semiconductors has caused production delays and, in some cases, has led to actual shutdowns. It’s a problem that’s not easy to solve and one that impacts pretty much all technology, not just cars. Computers and televisions, for example, use chips and a number of companies are taking steps to address the shortage. Simon Erickson and Steve Symington join 7investing Now to look at what’s going wrong, how it impacts automakers and technology companies, and to address how it’s being resolved. The 7investing Lead Advisors also dive into what the the global semiconductor shortage means for the stock market. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

Rumors of an Apple car have been around for quite a while but the noise got a little louder this week with DigiTimes reporting that the company has been working with Toyota to mass produce an “Apple  Car” by 2024. Apple has been working on a car since 2014, though at various times it has also been reported that it dropped those efforts to focus on creating software for vehicles. Matt Cochrane and Maxx Chatsko join the Sept. 3 edition of “7investing Now” to discuss this report and to take a look at a big change Apple has made in its app store as well as a safety crackdown by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a supply shortage, and Intel’s CEO says he’s a “willing buyer” of chip manufacturers who are interested in being acquired. What will consolidation in the space mean for chip designers, the “Big 3” global producers, or for demanding customers like Apple and Tesla? 7investing lead advisors Simon Erickson and Anirban Mahanti discuss the chipmaking oligopoly, why the shortage is happening, and the opportunities arising for long-term investors.

Tesla’s AI Day will showcase the company’s technical details and opportunities for self-driving cars. But where does Tesla really stand in the race to full autonomy?

If there is one thing investors can predict, it is that there will be volatility in the stock market.   Stocks can plummet 20% or more in a single day on no news.   While that can be frustrating, it's imperative that investors keep their heads down and remain focused on the long-term.  As long as your thesis is still intact, a temporary drawdown means nothing when you look at the total return a company has made over several years.    7investing Lead Advisors Maxx Chatsko and Dan Kline explain how they keep a level head during turbulent times in the market.

Even the most confident investor has concerns. There are things that even long-term investors don’t control (global pandemics come sadly to mind) and other factors that keep us up at night (to varying degrees). We asked you to share your concerns and we’ll go over those, share our own and take your questions live on the Sept. 1 edition of 7investing Now with Steve Symington and Dan Kline.

The world's undergoing a serious chip shortage, and its having a negative impact on businesses everywhere.   Automakers like Toyota are cutting their production forecasts by 40% based on the tightness of supply. Appliance makers like Whirlpool are claiming "the perfect storm" of supply issues have caused them to slash projections by around 10%. And Internet of Things providers like Synaptics are bringing in customers and quite literally begging to fulfill their existing customer orders.   The extreme tightness of supply, coupled with the growing demand of high-performance chips, is serving as a catalyst of epic proportions. The semiconductor industry is undergoing one of the most significant expansion phases in decades. Intel, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and several other manufacturers are plowing tens of billions of dollars into expanding their chipmaking capacity. What should investors make of all of this? Is this an opportunity to bank on a wave of upcoming new semiconductor business? Or is this simply too-much, too fast -- in what's already known as a highly cyclical industry?   To answer those questions, we've brought in a semiconductor expert. Robert Quinn has worked for decades in providing capital equipment to the semiconductor industry. He is now a high-performance contributor to LinkedIn, where he posts four times per days and his articles have been read nearly 2 million times year-to-date.   In this exclusive interview, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson and Robert describe why Intel is so ambitiously expanding its chipmaking capacity within the United States and what its new contract with the Department of Defense could mean for its business. Robert also explains why Samsung might be  building a new fab in Austin, what Taiwan Semiconductor's price hike will mean for consumer electronics, and how much longer investors should expect the supply shortage to last. The two also discuss several new chip designs and process technology improvements, such as the RISC-V open-source architecture, single nanometer nodes, FGPAs, and quantum computing. Robert also shares his thoughts about wafer fabrication equipment manufacturers, and why the status quo will greatly benefit Applied Materials.   Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include AMD, Apple, Applied Materials, Intel, Samsung, and Taiwan Semiconductor. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)  has been quickly growing in popularity. Offered by a number of companies and credit card providers, BNPL allows customers to split up payments into multiple installments, often without an interest charge. Amazon has offered BNPL through its branded credit card, but it has never offered it its broader U.S. customer base. That will change as the online giant has partnered with one of the BNPL leaders, Affirm, to roll out the popular payment method “broadly” to is U.S. customers. We’ll break down the deal and what it means for Amazon, Affirm, and the broader payment market live at 1 p.m. on 7investing Now. Welcome to 7investing.

Quantum computing's has the world's attention, as investors turn a curious eye toward one of the semiconductor industry's most difficult-to-understand new trends.   This is a completely different approach to computing that is built upon quantum physics principles like superposition and entanglement. Because of its different architecture and design, quantum computers can solve incredibly complex problems in a fraction of the time it would take for classical computers.   Companies have been fascinated by this concept for decades. Large enterprises like IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) have pledged tens of millions of dollars and several years of fundamental in their attempt to build a useful quantum computer.   But we're now also seeing smaller companies join the race as well. IonQ is crashing into the public markets via a SPAC merger, and Honeywell (Nasdaq: HON) is spinning off its quantum group into a SPAC of its own. There's now a publicly-traded Quantum Computing ETF, and venture capitalists continue to pour money into entirely new approaches.   The advantages of quantum could be incredible. A commercially-available, useful quantum computer would disrupt many industries. Materials companies could perfect their design of new superconductors. Logistics or travel companies could optimize their global fleets. Drug makers could use simulations to create new synthetic molecules.   But there are concerns about quantum that are raising a few eyebrows as well. Several of the soon-to-be-public quantum companies have hardly any revenue, yet their multi-billion-dollar valuations have led some to believe there are too many expectations already baked in. There are geopolitical concerns as well, as an international arms race to reach Quantum Supremacy could challenge the internet's existing cryptography measures or even sovereign security.   There's a lot going on right now. And there's a lot more at stake than just bragging rights that awaits those who claim and who use the world's fastest computers.   So what should investors make of this new quantum race? Is quantum indeed about to disrupt everything? Or are some investing expectations still out of touch with reality?   To answer those questions, we've brought in a quantum expert. Whurley is an international legend in the software development world.   After working in R&D at Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and then as a Master Inventor at IBM, whurley went on to found and run several startups that innovated the fields of security, open source software, and even FinTech. He has 11 patents, has co-authored two books, and even personally hosted former President Barack Obama at Austin's SXSW conference. Now as the founder & CEO of Strangeworks, he is developing a software development tools that will help companies define their business problems and then harness the power of quantum computing to solve them.   In this exclusive interview, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson chats with whurley about where the quantum computing industry currently stands. They describe what will drive its future adoption and in what applications it will serve most useful. They also discuss the recent popularity of quantum SPACs and where there could be opportunities for investors.   The two then shift gears a bit, and whurley describes why open-source will continue to be the key for future software development. He also shares his thoughts about what's in store for cybersecurity and his expectations for virtual reality.

Walmart had a somewhat surprising reveal Tuesday when it said it was entering the crowded last-mile shipping market not just for its own items but for other retailers. The new service, GoLocal, will be white label meaning that it won’t carry the Walmart branding. The company was not specific about its plans but it did say it planned to use emerging technologies including drones and driverless vehicles. Will this actually happen? Anirban Mahanti takes over the hosting chair so Dan Kline can weigh in on whether this has any chance to work. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

Is Facebook a monopoly? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) thinks so and it has filed a new complaint against the company after a federal judge rejected an earlier filing. The new suit alleges that Facebook “used anticompetitive acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp to further its monopoly power and that it also unfairly blocked rivals from accessing its application programming interface (API).” What will happen? Most of the 7investing team joins 7investing Now to discuss and, we’ll also take a look at how we describe our investing styles. Welcome to 7investing.

One of 7investing's key principles is to think longer-term. There's a lot of short-term noise in the market, which causes significant volatility in stock prices. Patient investors who can tune this noise out and focus on the bigger picture have an excellent chance of improving their long-term returns. There is also significant volatility in the world of cryptocurrencies. Traders obsess over the daily price of Bitcoin, rather than focusing instead of the growing global adoption of blockchains. So what are the important signals that long-term investors should take note of for cryptocurrencies and blockchains? To answer that question, 7investing has brought in the crypto experts. Spencer Randall is the co-founder and CEO of CryptoEQ, whose mission is to simplify cryptocurrencies and provide thorough research for investors to made more educated decisions. 7investing and CryptoEQ have partnered as organizations, to help individuals better understand the collision of equities and cryptocurrencies. In this exclusive interview, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson chats with Spence about the more important developments taking place in the world of crypto. The two discuss America's recent regulations, countries who are adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, the potentially allocation of crypto in retirement accounts, and an intriguing opportunity for blockchain infrastructure in the Metaverse. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and Voyager Digital. Cryptocurrencies mentioned include Bitcoin and Ethereum. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies or cryptocurrencies mentioned. Welcome to 7investing.

The stock market fell on Tuesday after reaching an all-time high Monday. Investors have become a little bit spooked by the rising number of coronavirus cases caused by the Delta Variant and, perhaps, panicked that a 1.1% drop in retail sales in July may be a sign of darker days ahead. Dan Kline is joined by Maxx Chatsko to explain what’s actually happening and why a little slowdown in consumer spending may actually benefit the market on the August 18 edition of “7investing Now.” Welcome to 7investing.

The solid performance of Softbank’s legendary Vision Fund helped the company report record-breaking earnings earlier this year. But due to China’s unpredictable regulations, Softbank has now pulled the plug on all new investments in the country. Is China’s recent tech selloff a long-term opportunity, or is it a harbinger of more bad things to come? 7investing lead advisors Simon Erickson and Steve Symington discuss Softbank, China’s regulatory regime, and the difference between volatility and risk.

Logistics may be one of the most important things you rarely think about. When you get two day, one day, or even same-day delivery, an awful lot of moving parts have to come together to make that happen. GXO Logistics (NYSE: GXO) will be one of the companies working behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Spun-off earlier this month from XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO), a top ten global logistics provider of supply chain solutions to some of the most successful companies in the world, GXO will be its own standalone company with no ties to its former parent. The new company “is now the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world,” while XPO will remain “a leading provider of transportation services, primarily less-than-truckload transportation, and truck brokerage,” according to the spin-off press release. Mark Manduca serves as Chief Investment Officer for GXO responsible for analysis of the company’s growth opportunities, optimization of its asset portfolio and oversight of its U.K. pension investments. He will also play a key role in ensuring that GXO’s investment case reaches a global audience. With his company less than two weeks old, Manduca sat down the Dan Kline to discuss its origin story, what it hopes to accomplish, and the logistics market in a broad sense. He also talks about the role of automation and which companies he sees as major players in the logistics space. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

Sometimes the best investment ideas come from companies seeking to disrupt well-entrenched industries. That, of course, isn’t easy to do because the establishment has a well-vested interest in protecting the status quo. Health care offers a lot of opportunity for disruption, but it also may come with as many roadblocks as any other area. Dana Abramowitz and Simon Erickson join Dan Kline for 7investing Now to dig into what’s happening in healthcare disruption and the forces disruptors are coming up against. Welcome to 7investing.

The House of Mouse reported its third-quarter earnings on August 12 and the numbers told a lot about where the company stands as parts of its business recover from the pandemic while other segments continue to (in some ways) benefit from it. It was a massive success for Disney which saw its business segment which includes its theme parks return to profitability and its streaming service continue to post incredible growth.

Long-term success in investing is about much more than just picking good stocks. There are several lurking landmines that could wreak havoc on our long-term investment returns. Emotional and unconscious biases often convince us to buy or sell great companies at exactly the wrong time. Ecstatic bubbles can pop and create panic-laden recessions, causing broader-market sell offs that torpedo entire sectors. And while they may be seldom-discussed and underappreciated, the cousins of risk and luck have an undeniable impact on the success of businesses and on investment portfolios. In short, it’s a crazy world out there. The more we can do to acknowledge and course-correct against the strong current of factors working against us, the better off we’ll be as investors. It was Napoleon who once said “a genius is the man who can do the average thing when everyone else around him is losing his mind.” To help us navigate the ever-changing map of long-term investing, we’ve brought in one of the world’s brightest financial captains. Morgan Housel is a partner of the Collaborative Fund and has spoken about behavioral finance at conferences all across the globe. He is also the author of The Psychology of Money, which shares several lessons about long-term success in investing and in life. Napoleon’s quote is prominently displayed on the very first page of his book. In an exclusive interview with 7investing, Morgan brings a goldmine of advice and information to help investors. We organize a wealth of knowledge into 7 themes (it had to be 7!), where Morgan provides his overall thoughts, cites several historical examples, and provides the most important investing takeaways. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson also spots Morgan up with an investing-related question for each of the seven themes. We also recommend having 7investing put up the buy-in for Morgan to join the World Series of Poker (you heard it here first), question his likeness to a character on Game of Thrones, and offer advice for younger investors. And as a closing finale, Morgan answers seven questions that were submitted on Twitter by our 7investing followers!

There has been good news and bad news for American consumers. Wages, especially at the bottom end of the workforce have been rising, but those gains have seen their impact muted by price increases in a number of areas. Some have called this inflation, but it’s not that simple. While there likely is some inflation in the market, there are also clear supply chain issues that have driven up prices for cars, appliances, some electronics, and more. Maxx Chatsko joins Dan Kline on “7investing Now” live at noon eastern to discuss what this might mean for the stock market. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

Daniel Anstandig, the CEO and Co-Founder of Futuri -- an innovative company focusing on enhancing the effectiveness of media through an enterprise tech platform --  joined the 7investing podcast to explain what his company does and share his thoughts on the future of media. Futuri has targeted making content companies more effective. The emerging brand uses an artificial intelligence (AI) system to “detect stories bubbling to the surface that are going to go viral, allowing producers (podcasts, TV, online, radio) an opportunity to get ahead of the story and catch the news as it breaks. It also helps media target specific audiences, stories, demographics and more to make them more profitable.” That’s a goal that could help companies produce content that makes more money. It’s also a concept that some editorial professionals will bristle at. Anstandig explained how his product can work to benefit companies striving to create high-quality content. He also addressed some of the pitfalls that can happen when people overuse AI rather than using it as a tool to help them make better decisions. Welcome to 7investing.

When Caribou Biosciences (NASDAQ: CRBU) became the seventh publicly-traded CRISPR stock in July 2021, I saw an exchange on social media. One person asked why the company sported a market valuation of $900 million when another newly-public CRISPR stock, Verve Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VERV), was valued near $2.3 billion. "Is there any reason for this other than the timing of the IPOs?", asked the individual. The thread received multiple responses confirming the seemingly large valuation difference between the two companies, with others "agreeing" or responding that they were buying Caribou Biosciences because of it. That was 100% the wrong take. I've observed similar arguments among individual investors within the gene editing space. However, it's important to acknowledge that there are significant differences between gene editing approaches and technology platforms. Caribou Biosciences and Verve Therapeutics might both be using CRISPR systems, but that's where the overlap ends. They're developing completely different tools that have almost nothing in common. Individual investors don't necessarily need to have a deep technical understanding of gene editing tools, but I would argue that there's a minimum level of information required to responsibly invest in the field. Unfortunately, the way the internet works means most investors aren't provided with the information they need. Let's fix that. In this episode of the podcast, 7investing Lead Advisors Maxx Chatsko (me) and Dan Kline introduce simple frameworks for evaluating opportunities and challenges in gene editing. These can be summarized as follows: The Emerging Approaches: There's first-generation tools (gene editing), second-generation tools (base editing), and third-generation tools (prime editing). These approaches are not limited to any specific system. For example, there are CRISPR, TALEN, ARCUS, and other tools capable of performing base editing. The Major Applications: There are knock outs, insertions, activations, precise corrections, knock ins, and other uses of gene editing tools. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The Major Administration Routes: This primarily comes down to in vivo (inside the body) and ex vivo (outside the body). Each has advantages and disadvantages. In addition to this podcast introducing the three frameworks, 7investing Lead Advisor Maxx Chatsko has written an in-depth article explaining these frameworks and how each gene editing stock fits into each -- and it's free to read! Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Beam Therapeutics, Caribou Biosciences, Cellectis, CRISPR Therapeutics, Editas Medicine, Graphite Bio, Intellia Therapeutics, Precision BioSciences, Sana Biotechnology, and Verve Therapeutics. 7investing Lead Advisors may have positions in the companies that are mentioned. This interview was originally recorded on August 2nd, 2021 and was first published on August 3rd, 2021.

In a Sunday surprise Square reported its second quarter earnings and dropped the news that it will buy Australian buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) firm Afterpay for $29 billion. The all-stock transaction will give Afterpay shareholders 0.375 shares of Square class A stock for every share they own. That’s roughly a 30% premium from where shares closed at the end of the market day Friday. Anirban Mahanti and Simon Erickson join the Monday edition of 7investing Now to break down the deal and to explain what the move means for Square’s long-term plans. Welcome to 7investing.

It has been a very busy earnings season and a lot of big tech companies have followed the same pattern -- report good, even great, numbers, then warn that the next quarter may see things slow down. That’s what happened with both Facebook and Amazon. The two companies ostensibly killed it, but they did warn that future growth won’t be as big. In addition, we’ll talk about whether Intel can complete its comeback and take on AMD in the fight for artificial intelligence dominance. Welcome to 7investing.

Tesla kicked off earnings season with some strong numbers despite having to manage supply chain issues related to the chip shortage. Apple followed that with some blockbuster numbers but shares in the tech giant fell because it warned that chip shortages could impact its iPhone output. Starbucks had a similar trajectory with the company delivering strong numbers but warning that it expects weakness in China in the next quarter. Microsoft closes out our quartet of companies with its own blockbuster numbers and some mildly negative news that may overshadow the good news. Welcome to 7investing.
