 Welcome to this video. This is the first video I'm going to go through on my stock picks for this week. This is the first stock video I've done ever, but everyone's going to start somewhere. Obviously disclaimer, not financial advisor. Do your own research, but I'll go through some of the stocks that I've bought this week and maybe something you could consider. Maybe put on your radar. Probably all these on your radar. If you are well invested in the stock market and you're always keeping up to date with the research and information. But hopefully find something useful from this video. I just kind of want to go through my journey in the stock market and how I'm developing with that. So we're going to look at the top four stocks I bought this week. First of all, I bought into APEX Technologies. Now this is a merger with AVE Point Technology. So it's won awards as a Microsoft partner and obviously with it being a Microsoft partner, it's actually got a lot of clout as a company as well. And a lot of credibility and a lot of trust there, which if you think about the fact that it's a data management provider and it's involved in the cloud space, having that partnership with Microsoft adds to that credibility in that sort of industry. So I think there's a couple of good points there to AVE Point Technology. So it's got a combined equity value at the moment of two billion US dollars. And I think to mention that is with it being a cloud sort of data management provider. These areas and these segments in terms of what's sold here, it tends to be highly profitable. So the products are highly profitable whereas maybe some industries like retail, online retail, the profitability on each particular products might be lower potentially sometimes. Whereas with it being a data management provider and providing these sorts of products, there is potential for high profit. And also scalability as well in terms of scaling the business up year on year. So this can be a potential long term player. I'm not sure if I'm going to play this one long term. I'm just going to look for a profit on this and then see where it kind of ends up after the merger and then kind of assess the situation then. But I bought in an average price of $14.03 and it's already up from there. So we'll see where this goes in the future. But I think that this one's got a lot of potential. I think at the minute it's slightly undervalued. If not really undervalued, I'm just trying to be conservative. So this is something to possibly look into and research and consider a small position on. So that's Apex technologies in terms of emerging there a point and certainly look into that one if you want to. I think it's going to go quite well for me. I don't know how long I'm going to hold for yet. I'm probably going to hold till maybe 50, 70, 100% profit and sell. But there is potential in the long term as well. So we'll think about that. And then we've got Lankadia Holdings, which is a golden nugget, which is a SPAC merger. Now there's a large hype around this particular company. I mean you do have to be careful of any sort of hype because with a lot of hype can mean stock prices can plummet. So you've got to be careful when there is a lot of hype. But also in the same way there is a lot of opportunity when there's a lot of hype with the stock. So I think with this and as it becomes more well known, I think that this stock price will go up overall. I think it's got good future profitability in the gambling sector. So good future profitability is a reported gross income of $29.9 million and operating income of $8.2 million recently. More states in the US approving online gambling, which is an important factor really. Because if more US states approve it, then that is a bigger potential market that they can go into and obviously gain more revenue from that. And then that in turn enhances the profitability of the company. So that's something to consider as it's approved more, then that's going to have a positive impact on the stock price, but also long term profitability and sustainability of the business as well. So as of last week it's up 38% at $20.1 and I bought in at $14.98. So I'm up a little bit so far. I think this one's got a good amount of potential and you can look at the website and find out more information on that. But just a bit of background information. So Golden Nugget is a household name throughout the United States and our gaming business. It's a well established leader in New Jersey, the largest online gaming market in North America. Genog has obtained market access, subject to regulatory approval to Pennsylvania and Michigan and anticipates launching its online casino brand in each of those new markets in early 2021. So you can think about in terms of 2021 this could impact the profitability of the business, how much money it's making because it's making a bigger impact hopefully into other states. And that's only going to be a good thing for the company. So it's only going to be a good thing for investors as well. So certainly something to look into. I think the share price at the minute is, well in terms of what I got it at, I can't go back on this presentation but in terms of what I got it at, I got a good price. If I see a dip I might buy some more but something to consider as well. The next one is switchback energy which is charge point. Now if you watch any YouTube videos, some range of YouTubers that do the stock market analysis, way better than I do probably but this is my first video. So bear with me. So switchback energy is a really good area to look into because of the massive market potential. And there is a lot of hype around it but I think it is justified hype. This hype for the sake of having hype on a stock. And then there's hype for the fact that it's justified with core fundamentals behind it. So just to go through it. So charge point charging stations use cutting edge hardware technology that rigorously tested to be safe and reliable while our stations are rugged and built to withstand the elements. They also are designed to be driver friendly offering a premium charging experience. So the fact that they actually care about the experience of the customer as every business should but they're really seeing that as a key area then that's going to improve in terms of customer loyalty as well. So I think this is a potential play for the long term. We'll go into that in a minute. So charge point stations are part of a complete EV charging solution, electric vehicles. That includes 24-7 driver support, cloud based software with features designed for specific industries and world class service and maintenance. So this is in a booming area. So there's huge demand for these electric charge points. The reason for that is because there's more and more people buying electric cars. So with that in mind, obviously they're going to be needing areas where they can charge up their cars, electric cars. And charge point is one of the world leaders in this area, one of the market leaders. So it's a good stop to go with because it's already established in that sense. And another thing to mention there is the fourth point there is is governments actually across the world are actually moving towards giving incentives to get electric cars. So in terms of, you know, it's going to be cheaper to get an electric car eventually over time. There's incentives there and obviously there's not the gas price charges that have been electric. So there's a lot of economical benefits to going electric. And I think in terms of the socioeconomic climate that we're in, the economic climate in the next three to five years combined with government's willingness to try and move to electric vehicles across most countries, I think that combined is going to create a really big demand for electric vehicles because if people can save money in an economic climate that might not be fantastic, shall we say in sort of two, three, four years, if they can save money, at the same time, governments are pushing for that infrastructure, pushing for that electric vehicles, then I think this is only a good thing for a charge point or any electric charging stations. Now there is others out there, there's blink charging, there's some others, but this at the minute is the market leaders and with that comes a lot of credibility. So I think that this is stopped to, I'm really, really kind of confident with bullish on as the time goes. So I bought in at an average price and I got in a bit later. I wanted to do my research on the company first before I decided to put some shares in. So I researched beforehand and everything that I found was pretty much positive. So I got in at an average of $36.66. Now I might maybe do some kind of swing trades on the dips because EV stocks are a hype slightly, but this is a justified hype so we don't know whether it's going to dip or how much it's going to dip by. We don't have a crystal ball here. But I think there's potential for both to swing trader but also long-term hold as well. I think if you hold this for three, five, eight years, as we see more electric vehicles on the roads, they're going to need to charge the vehicles up. And I think charging stations are being slightly overlooked at the minute really in terms of investment. It's a lot about the electric vehicles. Charging stations is interesting because obviously it's a continuous charge. The customers have to go back again and again rather than the one-time electric car vehicle purchase. For the charging points, they're going to have to go back again and again, again and again, in a day or weekly, monthly, whatever it is, and actually continue to charge up their car. The drivers here have avoided more than 103.7 billion litres of petrol. So there's good corporate social responsibility there in terms of helping out the environment more with going electric. This only strengthens the brand. You'll notice that in the world, consumers are more concerned with ethics and there's been a consumer psychology shift in consumer mindset. People are thinking more ethically, thinking sustainably in all these areas. This only plays into the benefit of these companies that are trying to help out in terms of the environment and sustainability. So that's a good point there. It's a good marketing point in terms of how much litres of petrol have been avoided. It's a good kind of spin on it really. Drivers plug into the charge point network approximately every two seconds. A lot of people are using these charging stations and they're also very effective and efficient. Another part is, which I think is really kind of goes missing at times, is that there's an application available to enhance the charge point service. So you can download the app and this kind of combination with a digital kind of infrastructure, an app with the charge point service, that combined adds more kind of value added experience to the customer. And I think that's going to increase loyalty. You're going to have a really loyal customer base to charge point. When they've downloaded the app, they get used to using the app and it kind of comes there second nature to them, something that they do. And that's going to build brand loyalty, brand trust. And again, that's going to create sustainable profits. So there's a lot of things going for switchback energy charge point. Paul, this makes sense by the way. The next one is actually a UK stock that you can tell from my voice that I'm from the UK. And one of them is WH Smith. So this is a retail stock, I believe, majoratively in the UK. So this is kind of with the pandemic and as things recover, the share price on this is going to increase. It's a retail store. It's a very established company as well. It's got a lot of established history behind it. This is a long term player. So I'm thinking of holding this for quite a while, but I'm expecting, I've got an average price of £14, but I'm hoping for it to go up 50% to 70% in the next few months. And if it does that, brilliant. If it only goes up 20 or 30, 40%, brilliant. I do believe that as things recover, as vaccines come out, as people go back to the high street, back shopping, there's going to be more investor sentiment in these kind of brick-and-mortar retail stores. So I think there's still room here. Now you could say that we're all going to online shopping, the trends towards online shopping, buying stuff of Amazon, etc. Yes, true, but I think interestingly enough, like W.H. Smith, they have a lot of their stores in there, like train stations, bus stations, airports. It kind of varies where it's leaked to travelling. And I think in a few months we're going to have a massive increase in travel as well, it's another area, in a few months. I can't really predict how many months, but if there's more travel in those areas, there's going to be more footfalls, there's going to be more people going into these stores, there's going to be more people buying products, and there's going to be more profitability. So I think certainly it's a really bargain price for this stock at the minute, and it's got potential to go much, much higher. So that's the end of this video. I think it will be going to the last slide here. So those are some of the top picks in terms of the stocks that I've bought this week. I hope you've enjoyed the video.
