CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to log customer info, resolve service and product issues, manage marketing campaigns, and provide predictive sales analyses for existing customers, among other things.</p>\n<p>CRM software is an annual double-digit growth opportunity throughout the decade, and salesforce is the lion that sits atop this growth trend.

If completed, this purchase will allow salesforce to use Slack's platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions, as well as reach smaller (but often fast-growing) businesses.</p>\n<p>With CEO Marc Benioff setting a target of $50 billion in sales five years from now after reporting $21.25 billion in revenue in fiscal 2021, salesforce projects as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the decade's fastest-growing megacap stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e30b444a3e55d3f01be10032d32e251\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"452\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Cresco Labs</h2>\n<p>It's no secret that marijuana stocks have the potential to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the decade's top-performing industries. U.S. cannabis multistate operator (MSO) <b>Cresco Labs</b> (OTC:CRLBF) has all the tools necessary to deliver a 300% or greater gain for investors by 2030.</p>\n<p>Like other MSOs, Cresco has a burgeoning retail segment. It has 24 operational stores at the moment, with an additional five retail licenses in its back pocket. However, it has two pending acquisitions that'll bolster the total number of retail stores it can eventually open to closer to four dozen.</p>\n<p>What's interesting about Cresco's retail presence is that it's chosen a number of states where license issuance is limited. It's maxed out its retail footprint in Illinois and Ohio with 10 and five stores, respectively. By choosing states where license issuance is limited, Cresco is assuring itself a healthy share of cannabis revenue.</p>\n<p>However, the real allure of Cresco is its wholesale operations. As one of only a handful of companies with a cannabis distribution license in California, it's able to place its proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the state. Despite wholesale margins being lower than retail, Cresco has the volume to make a fortune off of wholesale.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86dde557e543a4e82531f33e33412739\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Pinterest.</span></p>\n<h2>Pinterest</h2>\n<p>Social media up-and-comer <b>Pinterest</b> (NYSE:PINS) is another company that can turn $100,000 into $400,000 this decade.</p>\n<p>Pinterest was a clear beneficiary of the coronavirus pandemic. With people stuck in their homes, they turned to social media for engagement. For Pinterest, this resulted in 124 million net new monthly active users (MAU), representing a 37% increase. Understand, though, that Pinterest's MAUs grew by an average of 30% annually in the three years preceding the pandemic.</p>\n<p>What makes Pinterest such a growth powerhouse is its allure outside the United States. On one hand, the average revenue it generates per user is a lot lower outside the U.S. Then again, this also gives the company the opportunity to double its average revenue per international user many times over this decade.</p>\n<p>Additionally, few if any social media platforms provide a more targeted audience to advertisers than Pinterest. This is a platform where users willingly post about the things, services, and places that interest them. This makes all Pinners potentially motivated shoppers for merchants that specialize in their desires.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcd0950de1778cd86374141ec560b237\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Northern Star Acquisition</h2>\n<p>Even though special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) have been clobbered of late, the opportunity is simply too great to pass up with <b>Northern Star Acquisition</b> (NYSE:STIC). The SPAC is in the process of merging with dog-focused products and services company BarkBox, which should close sometime this quarter.</p>\n<p>Companion-animal spending might take a back seat to fast-growing trends like cannabis and social media, but it's about as surefire as it gets. It's been over a quarter of a century since spending on companion pets declined on a year-over-year basis. Time and again, pet owners have shown their willingness to spend freely to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy. That's where BarkBox comes in.</p>\n<p>BarkBox is a technology-driven dog-focused company that's amassed 1.1 million subscribers, and its gross margins are north of 60%. It's recently been registering its highest monthly \"product retention\" rate since inception and has forecast a near doubling in sales between 2021 and 2023 to more than $700 million. In short, it's one of the fastest-growing pet stocks, yet is valued at one of the lowest sales multiples.</p>\n<p>BarkBox is also using innovation to drive sales growth. The introduction of Bark Home, which offers essentials like collars and dog beds, and Bark Eats, which provides a personalized dry-food diet to dog owners, can boost ticket size and bring in new customers.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d49d28d45274d25f79f1ae0006a6294\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>Last but certainly not least, fintech stock <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) has all the tools necessary to shake things up in the financial services space and become an absolute giant. A 300% gain to $400,000 from $100,000 is probably undercutting its potential this decade.</p>\n<p>For nearly a decade, Square has been generating big bucks from its seller ecosystem. This segment, which provides point-of-sale devices and analytics to small businesses, has seen gross payment volume (GPV) surge from $6.2 billion in 2012 to $112.3 billion in 2020. Not counting the pandemic year, Square's seller ecosystem has grown GPV by an annual average of 49% since 2012.</p>\n<p>Equally exciting is the fact that Square's seller ecosystem has begun appealing to larger businesses. Whereas 24% of all GPV originated from merchants with at least $500,000 in annualized GPV in the fourth quarter of 2018, 30% of GPV in Q4 2020 came from merchants with annualized GPV over $500,000. Since this is a payment-driven segment, having bigger businesses using its platform can only pump up gross profit.</p>\n<p>However, the most exciting growth driver is peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. In three years, Cash App's user base has more than quintupled to 36 million. Further, the company is bringing in $41 in gross profit per user and spending less than $5 to acquire each new user. With <b>Bitcoin</b> trading and investing exploding on Cash App in 2020, it has all the look of a game-changing platform for young investors.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $400,000 This Decade</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n5 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $400,000 This Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-22 18:18 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/5-stocks-can-turn-100000-into-400000-this-decade/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market provides a pathway for tens of millions of Americans to work their way toward financial freedom.

This makes all Pinners potentially motivated shoppers for merchants that specialize in their desires.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNorthern Star Acquisition\nEven though special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) have been clobbered of late, the opportunity is simply too great to pass up with Northern Star Acquisition (NYSE:STIC). The SPAC is in the process of merging with dog-focused products and services company BarkBox, which should close sometime this quarter.\nCompanion-animal spending might take a back seat to fast-growing trends like cannabis and social media, but it's about as surefire as it gets. It's been over a quarter of a century since spending on companion pets declined on a year-over-year basis. Time and again, pet owners have shown their willingness to spend freely to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy. That's where BarkBox comes in.\nBarkBox is a technology-driven dog-focused company that's amassed 1.1 million subscribers, and its gross margins are north of 60%. It's recently been registering its highest monthly \"product retention\" rate since inception and has forecast a near doubling in sales between 2021 and 2023 to more than $700 million. In short, it's one of the fastest-growing pet stocks, yet is valued at one of the lowest sales multiples.\nBarkBox is also using innovation to drive sales growth. The introduction of Bark Home, which offers essentials like collars and dog beds, and Bark Eats, which provides a personalized dry-food diet to dog owners, can boost ticket size and bring in new customers.\nImage source: Square.\nSquare\nLast but certainly not least, fintech stock Square (NYSE:SQ) has all the tools necessary to shake things up in the financial services space and become an absolute giant. A 300% gain to $400,000 from $100,000 is probably undercutting its potential this decade.\nFor nearly a decade, Square has been generating big bucks from its seller ecosystem. This segment, which provides point-of-sale devices and analytics to small businesses, has seen gross payment volume (GPV) surge from $6.2 billion in 2012 to $112.3 billion in 2020. Not counting the pandemic year, Square's seller ecosystem has grown GPV by an annual average of 49% since 2012.\nEqually exciting is the fact that Square's seller ecosystem has begun appealing to larger businesses. Whereas 24% of all GPV originated from merchants with at least $500,000 in annualized GPV in the fourth quarter of 2018, 30% of GPV in Q4 2020 came from merchants with annualized GPV over $500,000. Since this is a payment-driven segment, having bigger businesses using its platform can only pump up gross profit.\nHowever, the most exciting growth driver is peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. In three years, Cash App's user base has more than quintupled to 36 million. Further, the company is bringing in $41 in gross profit per user and spending less than $5 to acquire each new user. With Bitcoin trading and investing exploding on Cash App in 2020, it has all the look of a game-changing platform for young investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":371416286,"gmtCreate":1618965254645,"gmtModify":1634289583749,"author":{"id":"3574404591731422","authorId":"3574404591731422","name":"DoCHC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/259ee75d4eb87ed8c88f6ebe8403047a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3574404591731422","idStr":"3574404591731422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371416286","repostId":"2129825679","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":473,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":371416286,"gmtCreate":1618965254645,"gmtModify":1634289583749,"author":{"id":"3574404591731422","authorId":"3574404591731422","name":"DoCHC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/259ee75d4eb87ed8c88f6ebe8403047a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574404591731422","authorIdStr":"3574404591731422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/371416286","repostId":"2129825679","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129825679","pubTimestamp":1618959577,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2129825679?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-21 06:59","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Were Hedge Funds Right About Paypal (PYPL)?","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129825679","media":"Insider Monkey","summary":"At Insider Monkey, we pore over the filings of nearly 887 top investment firms every quarter, a proc","content":"<span style=\"text-align: justify; white-space: pre-wrap; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;\">At Insider Monkey, we pore over the filings of nearly 887 top investment firms every quarter, a process we have now completed for the latest reporting period.

In terms of the portfolio weights assigned to each position Portland Hill Asset Management allocated the biggest weight to Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL), around 12.98% of its 13F portfolio. Aravt Global is also relatively very bullish on the stock, dishing out 12.6 percent of its 13F equity portfolio to PYPL.</p> \n<p>Judging by the fact that Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) has faced falling interest from the smart money, it's safe to say that there exists a select few funds that elected to cut their entire stakes by the end of the fourth quarter.

Gabriel Plotkin's fund, Melvin Capital Management, also dumped its stock, about $137.9 million worth. These bearish behaviors are important to note, as aggregate hedge fund interest fell by 3 funds by the end of the fourth quarter.</p> \n<p>Let's also examine hedge fund activity in other stocks similar to Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL).

SKLZ stock peaked at $46.30 at the height of theNasdaq composite’srise. Since then, the index has bifurcated. Most of the FAANG stocks rose to lift the technology index while speculative ideas languished.\nWhat is wrong with Skillz? Is the company stock investable after posting wider losses in the fourth quarter and its equity offering afterward?\nSkillz priced an offering of 32 million sharesfor $24 on March 19. The company said that it would use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The stock sale undermines the stock price. Markets reacted badly to the stock sale by quickly sending shares to $20 by the end of that month. It continued to head lower, trading recently near $15.\nThe short float on Skillz stock isnow around 25%. Three of the five analysts on Wall Street rate the stock as a “buy.” The average price target is $31.40, implying a 108% upside, according toTipranks.\nReaders must do their homework on this speculation in light of the dramatic underperformance compared to the index.\nPoor Fourth-Quarter Results\nIn the fourth quarter, the leading mobile games platform posted revenue up 95% to $68 million. For the year, it expects revenue will rise by 92% from last year to a rangeof $225 million to $230 million. Gross profit grew by a healthy 95% to $64 million. Yet in the quarter, the company managed to lose $44 million, worse than the $9 million loss in the quarter last year.\nGross marketplace volume was $463 million, up by 78%.

But there are also plenty of companies worth buying that can handily outpace the S&P 500 over the longer term.

CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to log customer info, resolve service and product issues, manage marketing campaigns, and provide predictive sales analyses for existing customers, among other things.</p>\n<p>CRM software is an annual double-digit growth opportunity throughout the decade, and salesforce is the lion that sits atop this growth trend. In the first half of 2020, salesforce controlled 19.8% of all global CRM revenue, according to IDC. Comparatively, the next four companies behind it in global share don't add up to 19.8%.</p>\n<p>Salesforce is also in the midst of acquiring enterprise communications platform <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WORK\">Slack Technologies</a></b> for $27.7 billion in a cash and stock deal. If completed, this purchase will allow salesforce to use Slack's platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions, as well as reach smaller (but often fast-growing) businesses.</p>\n<p>With CEO Marc Benioff setting a target of $50 billion in sales five years from now after reporting $21.25 billion in revenue in fiscal 2021, salesforce projects as <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> of the decade's fastest-growing megacap stocks.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9e30b444a3e55d3f01be10032d32e251\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"452\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Cresco Labs</h2>\n<p>It's no secret that marijuana stocks have the potential to be <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> of the decade's top-performing industries. U.S. cannabis multistate operator (MSO) <b>Cresco Labs</b> (OTC:CRLBF) has all the tools necessary to deliver a 300% or greater gain for investors by 2030.</p>\n<p>Like other MSOs, Cresco has a burgeoning retail segment. It has 24 operational stores at the moment, with an additional five retail licenses in its back pocket. However, it has two pending acquisitions that'll bolster the total number of retail stores it can eventually open to closer to four dozen.</p>\n<p>What's interesting about Cresco's retail presence is that it's chosen a number of states where license issuance is limited. It's maxed out its retail footprint in Illinois and Ohio with 10 and five stores, respectively. By choosing states where license issuance is limited, Cresco is assuring itself a healthy share of cannabis revenue.</p>\n<p>However, the real allure of Cresco is its wholesale operations. As one of only a handful of companies with a cannabis distribution license in California, it's able to place its proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the state. Despite wholesale margins being lower than retail, Cresco has the volume to make a fortune off of wholesale.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/86dde557e543a4e82531f33e33412739\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Pinterest.</span></p>\n<h2>Pinterest</h2>\n<p>Social media up-and-comer <b>Pinterest</b> (NYSE:PINS) is another company that can turn $100,000 into $400,000 this decade.</p>\n<p>Pinterest was a clear beneficiary of the coronavirus pandemic. With people stuck in their homes, they turned to social media for engagement. For Pinterest, this resulted in 124 million net new monthly active users (MAU), representing a 37% increase. Understand, though, that Pinterest's MAUs grew by an average of 30% annually in the three years preceding the pandemic.</p>\n<p>What makes Pinterest such a growth powerhouse is its allure outside the United States. On one hand, the average revenue it generates per user is a lot lower outside the U.S. Then again, this also gives the company the opportunity to double its average revenue per international user many times over this decade.</p>\n<p>Additionally, few if any social media platforms provide a more targeted audience to advertisers than Pinterest. This is a platform where users willingly post about the things, services, and places that interest them. This makes all Pinners potentially motivated shoppers for merchants that specialize in their desires.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bcd0950de1778cd86374141ec560b237\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\"><span>Image source: Getty Images.</span></p>\n<h2>Northern Star Acquisition</h2>\n<p>Even though special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) have been clobbered of late, the opportunity is simply too great to pass up with <b>Northern Star Acquisition</b> (NYSE:STIC). The SPAC is in the process of merging with dog-focused products and services company BarkBox, which should close sometime this quarter.</p>\n<p>Companion-animal spending might take a back seat to fast-growing trends like cannabis and social media, but it's about as surefire as it gets. It's been over a quarter of a century since spending on companion pets declined on a year-over-year basis. Time and again, pet owners have shown their willingness to spend freely to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy. That's where BarkBox comes in.</p>\n<p>BarkBox is a technology-driven dog-focused company that's amassed 1.1 million subscribers, and its gross margins are north of 60%. It's recently been registering its highest monthly \"product retention\" rate since inception and has forecast a near doubling in sales between 2021 and 2023 to more than $700 million. In short, it's one of the fastest-growing pet stocks, yet is valued at one of the lowest sales multiples.</p>\n<p>BarkBox is also using innovation to drive sales growth. The introduction of Bark Home, which offers essentials like collars and dog beds, and Bark Eats, which provides a personalized dry-food diet to dog owners, can boost ticket size and bring in new customers.</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0d49d28d45274d25f79f1ae0006a6294\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"520\"><span>Image source: Square.</span></p>\n<h2>Square</h2>\n<p>Last but certainly not least, fintech stock <b>Square</b> (NYSE:SQ) has all the tools necessary to shake things up in the financial services space and become an absolute giant. A 300% gain to $400,000 from $100,000 is probably undercutting its potential this decade.</p>\n<p>For nearly a decade, Square has been generating big bucks from its seller ecosystem. This segment, which provides point-of-sale devices and analytics to small businesses, has seen gross payment volume (GPV) surge from $6.2 billion in 2012 to $112.3 billion in 2020. Not counting the pandemic year, Square's seller ecosystem has grown GPV by an annual average of 49% since 2012.</p>\n<p>Equally exciting is the fact that Square's seller ecosystem has begun appealing to larger businesses. Whereas 24% of all GPV originated from merchants with at least $500,000 in annualized GPV in the fourth quarter of 2018, 30% of GPV in Q4 2020 came from merchants with annualized GPV over $500,000. Since this is a payment-driven segment, having bigger businesses using its platform can only pump up gross profit.</p>\n<p>However, the most exciting growth driver is peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. In three years, Cash App's user base has more than quintupled to 36 million. Further, the company is bringing in $41 in gross profit per user and spending less than $5 to acquire each new user. With <b>Bitcoin</b> trading and investing exploding on Cash App in 2020, it has all the look of a game-changing platform for young investors.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>5 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $400,000 This Decade</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n5 Stocks That Can Turn $100,000 Into $400,000 This Decade\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-04-22 18:18 GMT+8 <a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/04/22/5-stocks-can-turn-100000-into-400000-this-decade/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>The stock market provides a pathway for tens of millions of Americans to work their way toward financial freedom.

If you were to invest $100,000 into these five stocks right now, it's my belief you'll have $400,000 or more by the end of the decade.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nSalesforce.com\nFirst up is cloud-based customer relationship management (CRM) software provider salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM). CRM software is used by consumer-facing businesses to log customer info, resolve service and product issues, manage marketing campaigns, and provide predictive sales analyses for existing customers, among other things.\nCRM software is an annual double-digit growth opportunity throughout the decade, and salesforce is the lion that sits atop this growth trend. In the first half of 2020, salesforce controlled 19.8% of all global CRM revenue, according to IDC. Comparatively, the next four companies behind it in global share don't add up to 19.8%.\nSalesforce is also in the midst of acquiring enterprise communications platform Slack Technologies for $27.7 billion in a cash and stock deal. If completed, this purchase will allow salesforce to use Slack's platform to cross-sell its CRM solutions, as well as reach smaller (but often fast-growing) businesses.\nWith CEO Marc Benioff setting a target of $50 billion in sales five years from now after reporting $21.25 billion in revenue in fiscal 2021, salesforce projects as one of the decade's fastest-growing megacap stocks.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nCresco Labs\nIt's no secret that marijuana stocks have the potential to be one of the decade's top-performing industries. U.S. cannabis multistate operator (MSO) Cresco Labs (OTC:CRLBF) has all the tools necessary to deliver a 300% or greater gain for investors by 2030.\nLike other MSOs, Cresco has a burgeoning retail segment. It has 24 operational stores at the moment, with an additional five retail licenses in its back pocket. However, it has two pending acquisitions that'll bolster the total number of retail stores it can eventually open to closer to four dozen.\nWhat's interesting about Cresco's retail presence is that it's chosen a number of states where license issuance is limited. It's maxed out its retail footprint in Illinois and Ohio with 10 and five stores, respectively. By choosing states where license issuance is limited, Cresco is assuring itself a healthy share of cannabis revenue.\nHowever, the real allure of Cresco is its wholesale operations. As one of only a handful of companies with a cannabis distribution license in California, it's able to place its proprietary and third-party products into more than 575 dispensaries throughout the state. Despite wholesale margins being lower than retail, Cresco has the volume to make a fortune off of wholesale.\nImage source: Pinterest.\nPinterest\nSocial media up-and-comer Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) is another company that can turn $100,000 into $400,000 this decade.\nPinterest was a clear beneficiary of the coronavirus pandemic. With people stuck in their homes, they turned to social media for engagement. For Pinterest, this resulted in 124 million net new monthly active users (MAU), representing a 37% increase. Understand, though, that Pinterest's MAUs grew by an average of 30% annually in the three years preceding the pandemic.\nWhat makes Pinterest such a growth powerhouse is its allure outside the United States. On one hand, the average revenue it generates per user is a lot lower outside the U.S. Then again, this also gives the company the opportunity to double its average revenue per international user many times over this decade.\nAdditionally, few if any social media platforms provide a more targeted audience to advertisers than Pinterest. This is a platform where users willingly post about the things, services, and places that interest them. This makes all Pinners potentially motivated shoppers for merchants that specialize in their desires.\nImage source: Getty Images.\nNorthern Star Acquisition\nEven though special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) have been clobbered of late, the opportunity is simply too great to pass up with Northern Star Acquisition (NYSE:STIC). The SPAC is in the process of merging with dog-focused products and services company BarkBox, which should close sometime this quarter.\nCompanion-animal spending might take a back seat to fast-growing trends like cannabis and social media, but it's about as surefire as it gets. It's been over a quarter of a century since spending on companion pets declined on a year-over-year basis. Time and again, pet owners have shown their willingness to spend freely to keep their four-legged friends happy and healthy. That's where BarkBox comes in.\nBarkBox is a technology-driven dog-focused company that's amassed 1.1 million subscribers, and its gross margins are north of 60%. It's recently been registering its highest monthly \"product retention\" rate since inception and has forecast a near doubling in sales between 2021 and 2023 to more than $700 million. In short, it's one of the fastest-growing pet stocks, yet is valued at one of the lowest sales multiples.\nBarkBox is also using innovation to drive sales growth. The introduction of Bark Home, which offers essentials like collars and dog beds, and Bark Eats, which provides a personalized dry-food diet to dog owners, can boost ticket size and bring in new customers.\nImage source: Square.\nSquare\nLast but certainly not least, fintech stock Square (NYSE:SQ) has all the tools necessary to shake things up in the financial services space and become an absolute giant. A 300% gain to $400,000 from $100,000 is probably undercutting its potential this decade.\nFor nearly a decade, Square has been generating big bucks from its seller ecosystem. This segment, which provides point-of-sale devices and analytics to small businesses, has seen gross payment volume (GPV) surge from $6.2 billion in 2012 to $112.3 billion in 2020. Not counting the pandemic year, Square's seller ecosystem has grown GPV by an annual average of 49% since 2012.\nEqually exciting is the fact that Square's seller ecosystem has begun appealing to larger businesses. Whereas 24% of all GPV originated from merchants with at least $500,000 in annualized GPV in the fourth quarter of 2018, 30% of GPV in Q4 2020 came from merchants with annualized GPV over $500,000. Since this is a payment-driven segment, having bigger businesses using its platform can only pump up gross profit.\nHowever, the most exciting growth driver is peer-to-peer payment platform Cash App. In three years, Cash App's user base has more than quintupled to 36 million. Further, the company is bringing in $41 in gross profit per user and spending less than $5 to acquire each new user. With Bitcoin trading and investing exploding on Cash App in 2020, it has all the look of a game-changing platform for young investors.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":286,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":376381806,"gmtCreate":1619089622405,"gmtModify":1634288657927,"author":{"id":"3574404591731422","authorId":"3574404591731422","name":"DoCHC","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/259ee75d4eb87ed8c88f6ebe8403047a","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3574404591731422","authorIdStr":"3574404591731422"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/376381806","repostId":"2129223386","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2129223386","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1619087842,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2129223386?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-04-22 18:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"AT&T beats revenue, wireless subscribers estimates","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2129223386","media":"Reuters","summary":"April 22 (Reuters) - AT&T Inc's wireless subscriber additions more than doubled first-quarter estima","content":"<p>April 22 (Reuters) - AT&T Inc's wireless subscriber additions more than doubled first-quarter estimates, as the reopening of the U.S. economy after months of pandemic-led restrictions boosted its smartphone sales and media business, pushing revenue past Street targets.</p>\n<p>AT&T shares rose 1% in premarket trading.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/962c29f30326cfca80856f00d87c1761\" tg-width=\"1302\" tg-height=\"833\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\"></p>\n<p>The company said on Thursday it added 595,000 net wireless phone subscribers in the quarter, compared with estimates of 268,800, according to research firm FactSet.</p>\n<p>The company has been investing heavily in its 5G wireless network and bundling free streaming service for HBO Max with certain phone plans to attract customers.</p>\n<p>AT&T's WarnerMedia added 2.7 million HBO Max and HBO subscribers in the quarter as viewers flocked to Netflix Inc's rival that began making its entire box office slate available on streaming service the same day the movies hit theaters.</p>\n<p>HBO and HBO Max had 44.2 million U.S. subscribers at the end of the quarter, AT&T said.</p>\n<p>Revenue for the company was up nearly 3% at $43.9 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $42.69 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.</p>\n<p>Separately, rival Verizon Communications Inc has said it lost more wireless subscribers than expected during the first quarter as it battled intense competition from <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TMUS\">T-Mobile US Inc</a> and AT&T to attract customers.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
