  • Last year suppose to be a horrible year for the stock market.

  • Back in march 2020, we all witnessed how the stock market dipped by 30 percent.

  • Most people were afraid to invest because no one was confident about tomorrow.

  • The crisis that was in front of us was unlike anything else.

  • It wasn't a mortgage crisis like in 2008 or a bubble-like in the 2000s.

  • It was something that we couldn't see, and yet it just stopped the world economy overnight.

  • We had no idea when it will be over or at least when life would get back to normal,

  • but it seems like it's never going back to normal.

  • We are just going to have the new normal.

  • But what we know for sure is that the market didn't crash; at least the fed didn't allow

  • it.

  • Like it always does, the fed got out its printing machines and started printing dollars like

  • there is no tomorrow

  • But it was unlike any other case.

  • The fed printed unbelievable amount of money to keep the economy running even though most

  • people were stuck at home, so the stock market instantly jumped back to its pre crisis levels,

  • and the S&P500 was up by 18 percent.

  • That is incredibly high.

  • 18% for the S&P500 means it's one of the best years it ever had.

  • But 18 percent compared to other stocks is almost nothing.

  • Apple was up by almost 80 percent, amazon rose by 73 percent, and some stocks like Tesla

  • rose by a few hundred percent.

  • Anyone had the opportunity to double their savings in a single year.

  • It took you ten years to save that much money, and in less than a year, you could have doubled

  • it.

  • Some people did that, but others missed the opportunity.

  • However, that doesn't mean there aren't going to be more opportunities this year.

  • As far as I see it, the stock market is going to keep rising this year.

  • Another stimulus bill is on the horizon, and fed doesn't seem like it will stop printing

  • money anytime soon, which could increase the inflation rate.

  • But that's something we will discuss in another video.

  • Here in this video, i am going to share with you three stocks that I believe will do great

  • this year, I have personally invested in them so

  • If you are ready, give this video a thumbs up because that's what the algorithm wants

  • you to do.

  • Just click on it, And let's get right into it!

  • If you follow my stock suggestions on Patreon,

  • you know that I invested in Disney last year in September

  • 
 1.

  • Disney

  • Back when the stock was struggling, since the pandemic forced its theme parks to shut

  • down and put at risk its entire business model, I decided to invest in it because Disney is

  • a unique company.

  • It owns the rights for all of your favorite fictional characters.

  • But it wasn't taking the best advantage out of them.

  • So when Disney replaced its CEO.

  • The new CEO decided to take the company in a completely different direction.

  • Instead of focusing on theme parks and material assets, it shifted its focus to online streaming

  • services to compete with Netflix

  • Last September, it had around 33 million paid subscribers, which is a lot

  • According to the arguments I Brough forward, Disney has everything it needs to increase

  • that number by at least ten times.

  • We all grew up watching Pixar, Micky Mouse, Marvel heroes, and Star Wars and Disney owns

  • all the rights for these fictional characters.

  • All that is left for it to do is take full advantage of them, which it started doing

  • last year.

  • Guess how many paid subscribers it has now, over 95 million, that's almost 100 million

  • subscribers.

  • And since the pandemic is not over a year, Disney is going to pour more resources into

  • its Disney plus.

  • It's entirely possible that Disney is going to have around the same number of paid subscribers

  • as Netflix has today in a year or so, which is around 350 million, which is why I think

  • Disney stock will keep rising this year as well

  • I know that Disney is not as exciting as Tesla, but it's a safe investment that has a huge

  • potential to grow.

  • If it doubles its number of paid subscribers within this year, it's entirely possible that

  • its stock price would rise by at least 50 percent.

  • And that's not speculation.

  • It's based on facts and numbers.

  • The second stock that I believe is going to

  • have a great year is Airbnb.

  • If you are one of our Patreons, you know that I have invested in Airbnb recently.

  • Airbnb

  • Shortly after moving to San Francisco in October

  • 2007, roommates and former schoolmates Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia came up with the idea

  • of putting an air mattress in their living room and turning it into bed and breakfast,

  • yeah its original name was AirBed & Breakfast, thank god they changed the name.

  • Otherwise this idea wouldn't have worked.

  • That simple idea has now put upside down the entire tourism industry.

  • No one thought it's going to work because 'Strangers will never stay in each other's

  • homes,' but it turns out that's absolutely wrong.

  • Why waste a fortune on hotels when you can stay in a similarly good place for a fraction

  • of a price.

  • The idea was - Save money when traveling, make money when hosting, and share culture"

  • It Doesn't get much simpler than that.

  • Airbnb has become a verb like we use google

  • when we say "search for something online" or "Uber instead of a cab or a taxi."

  • That does not mean it's going to be far more successful, but it certainly puts Airbnb in

  • a good spot and illustrates the power of its brand.

  • Airbnb, like other social media companies, benefits from the network effect.

  • The bigger the network, the more difficult it gets to compete with.

  • For example, you are using Facebook because all of your friends are there.

  • The moment they leave, Facebook serves little purpose.

  • The same goes for Airbnb.

  • If all homeowners are listing their homes in Airbnb, most people will use Airbnb by

  • default, which has already happened.

  • But besides just offering a place to stay, Airbnb is also focused on experiences, which

  • are already a huge part of Airbnb but could be even bigger.

  • It could launch services such as purchasing properties, getting a mortgage, and many more,

  • but that's going to be in the future, I guess.

  • Airbnb has the opportunity to become a tech giant like Google or Amazon, and in the years

  • to come, it has to prove it

  • The third stock that I believe has great potential

  • is Fiverr.

  • 
 3.

  • Fiverr  


  • I am not a big fan of Fiverr, but recently I have started using it more and more.

  • From February 2020 to February 2021, the Fiverr stock grew by almost a thousand percent.

  • Yes, you heard that right, by 1K percent.

  • Unfortunately, I didn't invest in it back then because I didn't see that coming

  • Everyone can complain about the pandemic, but not Fiverr because it was the best year

  • in the companies history.

  • Even Tesla didn't grow by that much

  • Big businesses might not see the benefits of Fiverr because they have all the money

  • they need to hire the best talents.

  • However, when it comes to small businesses, hiring even a single person is super difficult.

  • Making sure they get paid is way more difficult than it seems, and Fiverr makes that process

  • a lot easier

  • First of all, no one gets paid unless they get the job done.

  • Secondly, you are not hiring anyone full-time, and thirdly, you can hire people across the

  • world where labor cost is a lot cheaper than in your country.

  • The stock price might not grow by an additional 1K percent this year or even the next year,

  • but that doesn't mean It has no room to grow further.

  • In January 2020, Fiverr had 2.4 million buyers and a little over 800K sellers, I couldn't

  • find the data for 2020, but the pandemic has clearly made Fiverr much more popular.

  • Not only that, its total revenue has been growing year after year to 400 million dollars

  • by 2019, the average bill has increased from 64 dollars to 170 dollars by the end of 2019.

  • Let's face it.

  • This pandemic is not going anywhere anytime soon.

  • Yeah, the vaccine is going to make it a lot easier, but the virus is going to mutate and

  • keep circulating among us.

  • This means that the number of freelancers will just keep growing, the number of people

  • who ill decide to work from home will keep rising.

  • Based on the current circumstances, Fiverr will probably keep growing this year and in

  • the next few years as well.

  • Its biggest obstacle is probably high commission fees since competitors can come in and drag

  • some of its customers with lower commissions.

  • However, as Fiverr grows, it starts taking advantage of the network effect, it could

  • become THE PLACE for freelancers, and if that happens, its valuation could very well grow

  • by a few times

  •
