Finding the best SaaS stocks starts with a list of all SaaS stocks - we came up with 74 SaaS companies to start. Then we started running filters against the list using criteria such as valuation, revenue growth, net retention rate, and size. What we're left with is a list of 19 stocks, nine of which we've already covered. In a future video, we'll take a closer look at these 10 SaaS finalists in our quest to find some of the best SaaS stocks out there. Each investor will have a differing definition of "best" based on their own tolerance for risk, so our methodology isn't important. What is important is that you come up with your own investment methodology that helps you become a better investor by removing emotion and adding some objectivity to the process.

Coinbase stock is down 80% since their IPO. Our COIN stock review looks at what problems the underlying business faces that weren't there during the heydays of hype. Relying on retail investor transactions for a majority of revenues means that Coinbase only thrives when there's an interest in cryptocurrencies from retail investors. Institutions participate on the platform but only count for a tiny fraction of total revenues. While transaction revenues plummeted in 2022, Coinbase was engaged with the SEC trying to address regulatory concerns. Then, the SEC just bailed and started down the path of enforcement - a Wells notice - resulting in Coinbase deciding to sue the SEC. When you're suing the government entity that will ultimately decide your fate, it's not a good look. Whether Coinbase is right or wrong doesn't matter because the SEC decides this outcome. We're avoiding $COIN stock until they can reduce reliance on retail investors and the whole SEC spat clears up.

Block stock.. err... Square stock or SQ stock isn't anything we'd consider investing in for any number of reasons. Firstly, we never agreed with how Block decided to include bitcoins bought or sold to their customer base as "revenues" (the 2% gross margin should be a clue to how inappropriate this is). We don't like how Cash App can be used by anyone with an email address which opens up the door for loads of black market use cases. Block's fearless leader, Jack Dorsey, pitches the use of Cash App in rap songs as a badge of honor when it points to a subscriber base that (at least in that niche, and by a particular segment of users) is up to no good with the app. The ability to change your cashtag to whatever you like (regardless of who you actually are) means it's a gold mine for scammers who can trick others into parting with money. Block's decision to enter buy now pay later or BNPL we don't think is wise because this doesn't require an assessment of credit worthiness. We see it as little upside and loads of downside. Overall we're avoiding $SQ stock at any valuation, and today's valuation is already quite depressed from where we're sitting.

NVDA stock is hitting new highs making us wonder, what's NVIDIA's next move? One hint might lie in the cash they have on hand - $15 billion - and their shelf registration statement that looks to raise even more cash. What to do with this war chest? NVIDIA might look to acquire some competitive threats or bolt-on growth, especially considering their acquisition of ARM fell through. In looking at their latest earnings call, data center revenues are expected to absolutely explode, and that growth may be sustained for a few more quarters going forward. All that extra cash being generated, along with cash on hand, might provide an opportunity to make another sizable acquisition. The share price will need to sustain its high for 30 days after which it might be used for an M&A event. What companies out there do you think NVIDIA might acquire? If you think an acquisition is out of the question, what should they spend that $15 billion in cash on? Retired some of the $9.7 billion in long-term debt on hand? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Our Xpeng stock analysis looks at the latest XPEV stock news which paints a picture of an electric vehicle company that's struggling to deliver vehicles. Horrible growth metrics aside, they've decided to engage in a pricing war with Tesla which means that their gross margin has now turned negative. Growth is expected to resume in 2023 with new vehicle launches while we're told autonomy is where the real potential is with Xpeng expecting to capture 20 to 40% of the market. $XPEV stock isn't one we would consider at any price. And we haven't even started talking about the VIE structure or the other dangers native to investing in Chinese stocks. Plenty of Xpeng investors are looking for a price prediction, and they need to remember one thing - always invest in companies, not stocks.

Should you invest in Miso Robotics stock? Perhaps you've already invested in Miso Robotics, and the first thing to know is that shares are not publicly traded. Unless you can find someone to buy your Miso Robotics shares on a secondary market, or unless the company has an exit such as an IPO (the CEO says that's a ways away) then your shares aren't worth anything. A lack of liquidity is the main reason we never get involved in crowdfunding ventures. Another reason is that investors aren't typically privy to financials which show the health of the company. Did Miso Robotics realize revenue momentum in 2022 from those White Castles deployments? Who knows. We need 2022 financials to be able to tell. What about the $11 million CaliBurger contract? Would be great to know why that never went anywhere. Miso Robotics may be working with big names like Chipotle and Jack in the Box, but until they show traction in the form of meaningful revenues, we'd never consider investing in Miso Robotics stock.

Robinhood stock has fallen 82% since several years ago when we looked at the HOOD stock debut. So, is there any value to be had in picking up Robinhood stock at a discount? In looking at Robinhood's business, we see that transaction fees have fallen off a cliff since the meme stock mania has subsided. It's no longer easy to make money in stonks, not that it ever was. Most users of the Robinhood app are newbie investors who then choose to dabble in options and cryptocurrencies which is where most of Robinhood's transaction-based revenues come from. However, customers are also depositing cash given that Robinhood offers nearly 5% interest on deposited cash. Overall we'd continue to avoid investing in Robinhood stock because the high interest rate windfall will only last so long, and the type of account they're attracting is one that quickly squanders through their money not understanding the difference between speculating and investing. If Robinhood decided that they actually wanted to democratize access to wealth by helping people become better investors, we might come around for another look. But they're not likely to do that, because that won't generate the type of money they can get from peddling options and crypto.

Risk management in trading is something would-be traders end up investigating once they've had their butts handed to them a few times. It's then they realize the importance of capital preservation - you need money to make money. If you're someone who trades forex, options, stocks, commodities, or everything in between, there's a golden rule you must adhere to - always know how much you stand to lose on any particular trade. Now, once you've figured out that speculating isn't the way to accumulate wealth, you'll look to become an investor with a long-term time horizon. This is where diversification becomes a critically important focus of your risk management strategy. Most importantly, be wary of wolves in sheep's clothing - people with fancy pedigrees peddling some course they claim can help you become a profitable trader. It's all a bunch of BS. Anyone with real risk management experience - who has integrity - would be telling you the cold hard truth - the best way to utilize risk management in trading is to become an investor, not a speculator. We tell you how to do that.

NVDA stock has been soaring lately as analysts increase growth forecasts based on the demand for AI chips. For investors holding NVIDIA stock, it's a good problem to have. For would-be AI chip investors, sitting on the sidelines watching NVDA stock go up everyday creates FOMO. And you know what they say about FOMO - it makes you do stupid stuff. So, is there a better alternative to NVDA stock that allows investors exposure to the growth of AI chips? You might be tempted to invest in AMD stock, and it's certainly valued better than NVDA stock. However, you're investing in a laggard, not a leader. As for investing in the semiconductor industry, that's too diluted and ignores competition coming from outside the semiconductor industry. But that's when you might consider a stock we discovered three years ago that works with all major chipmakers. They're using AI to build better chips. The name of the company can be found in the below articles, or we'll tell you which stock it is in exchange for a top-shelf bottle of booze and/or an ounce of the kindest reefer you can get your hands on. Black market comes to the front of the line.

Target stock has been growing dividends for over 50 years, managing to grow their dividend by over 11% every year over the past decade. However, TGT stock may be running up against a wall as their profits are being significantly eroded by organized crime. Where, in Mexico? Mexican Mafia? The Japanese Yakuza? No little Johnny, just a bunch of freeloaders who have decided that stealing goods and reselling them is a solid career plan, morals be damned. It's a problem that's only getting worse for Target as some media outlets try to diminish the issue for their own political purposes. The takeaway here for Target investors is the same for anyone holding big box retailer stocks that happen to be dividend champions - until this problem is sufficiently resolved, your quality of life will be decreasing. TGT stock won't be continuing those large dividend increases unless they can get the theft problems under control.
