New bonus report – and the F1 merry-go-round
6th August 2020 |
Before I get stuck into a few highlights today I want to let you know about a new special report I’ve put together for you.
You see, I strongly believe that the IOTA network and the IOTA (MIOTA) cryptocurrency will help to become part of the new “grid” that will enable so much of the promised future to be delivered.
Be that, autonomous technologies, machine-to-machine communications, even the transfer and sharing of data to enable cleaner and greener energy.
That’s why IOTA is one of your recommendations. I see it more than just a “cryptocurrency”.
However, we still can’t escape the fact IOTA is a cryptocurrency. And I understand that not everyone is comfortable buying and storing cryptocurrency. To many, it’s a scary and risky new world they’re not really prepared to enter into.
I think it’s a mistake if you see the cryptocurrency markets as too risky or something you don’t want to get involved in. I see crypto with a bright, exciting future that can deliver so much potential to investors. I think you’d have to be crazy not to get involved with, at least to start with, IOTA.
That’s why I want to make it as easy as possible for you to understand these markets and to have the tools to get started in them. Even if you have already dabbled in crypto, I want to help improve your knowledge further.
That’s why I’ve put together this special report, “The Ultimate Starters Guide to Crypto”.
In the report I give you the basic fundamentals of how to buy and sell crypto, how to store it, and what makes something like IOTA different, and the steps needed to get some of that as well.
This should put you in prime position to get started in crypto if you never have before and give you the steps needed to get IOTA.
Of course, if you’re still struggling even after reading this special report, “The Ultimate Starters Guide to Crypto”, you can email me at sam@southbankresearch.com and I can provide more guidance from there to help with IOTA.
MelodyVR and keeping calm
Last week I said that our existing recommendation, MelodyVR, was moving off its hold recommendation and its buy-up-to price was revised down to 5p – more appropriate to the levels it’s currently trading at.
When I first tipped MelodyVR, it was still called EVR Holdings, was at 4.7p and we’d set a buy-up-to of 5.5p.
After we released the revised position on MelodyVR it was bid up immediately to over 5p.
I just want to reiterate, when that happens you just need to stay calm, patient, set limit orders which don’t have to be at the top end of the buy-up-to price and let the market just settle down.
There’s usually a fair bit of time to get into positions I recommend. Sometimes people get carried away to their own detriment. And occasionally, very rarely, but occasionally, it will happen to a stock that doesn’t revert back and settle down.
But as I see time and time again, patience is rewarded – often it happens in a matter of days. And MelodyVR proved this again.
I’m bringing this up again, because next week you’ll be getting your August monthly recommendation on Thursday 13 August.
I’m not going to give away anything about the stock today, you’ll have to wait till next week. But what I will remind you is that when the recommendation goes live, remain calm, use limit orders and if the stock pops over our buy-up-to and is silly bid up, stay calm and patient to find your entry.
Another German to join this British marque?
When I first recommended Aston Martin Lagonda (LSE:AML) the stock was in dire straits. It had tumbled from January values of around 51p and was languishing. Some pundits in the market were saying it was game over for Aston Martin, and to be fair it may very well have been…
Had it not been for Canadian billionaire, Lawrence Stroll.
I suggest you read my full report on Aston Martin to see why I made a pretty wild call to buy this car maker stock.
Stoll is a specialist in reviving luxury brands. And my take on his investment in Aston Martin earlier this year was to turn this British marque into the “Ferrari” of the UK. By that I mean when it comes to the car world, there is no better luxury brand than Ferrari.
I’ve even said before, Ferrari isn’t even an auto maker. It’s a luxury brand that just happens to make cars.
But how often do you see people who have never owned, and likely never will own, a Ferrari but still wear Ferrari apparel and accessories? Ferrari is aspirational.
That’s the direction I believe Stroll wants to take Aston Martin. I also have said he’s going to do it by shaping the company with technological backing from Mercedes (Daimler).
A big signal that I was, am, on the right track with this was the inclusion of Toto Wolff as an investor and the more recent appointment of the (now former) head of AMG performance at Mercedes, Tobias Moers, who started in the CEO position 1 August.
This is all part of the foundations to launch Aston Martin back into the aspirational, luxury limelight again.
But there’s another piece of this puzzle that’s going to help lift Aston Martin back to the spotlight. And that’s the naming rights to the (current) Racing Point Formula 1 racing team.
Stroll also owns Racing Point. And his son, Lance, is one of the drivers. Right now, Lance’s team mate is Sergio Perez.
However, next year in the new Formula 1 2021 season, Racing Point will no longer exist. Stroll’s team will be the Aston Martin Formula 1 racing team. Straightaway that puts the Aston Martin name and (what I expect to be) iconic colours back in front of a global audience.
The suspicion is that next year, four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel (currently a Ferrari driver) will join Stroll at the Aston Martin F1 team.
This would bring another lift to the Aston Martin brand, name and vision that Stroll has for the racing team, and by default the company. It’s also another German to boost the foundations of the iconic British brand.
This kind of movement in and around the brand, the name and as a vision to become “Ferrari-like” is pieces of the Stroll jigsaw falling into place.
I think he’s got a winning strategy and I think he has the potential, particularly now with Moers as CEO, to lift Aston Martin back to its former glory.
The stock is still trading below our buy-up-to price. And if you’re looking to put some funds into somewhat of a contrarian play, but one I consider to be a real “bounce-back belter”, Aston Martin might just fit perfectly into your overall portfolio if you don’t have it yet.
