Big investors are buying this “unlisted” stock

When the founder who sold his last company to Zillow for $120M starts a new venture, people notice. That’s why the same VCs who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay also invested in Pacaso.

Disrupting the real estate industry once again, Pacaso’s streamlined platform offers co-ownership of premier properties, revamping the $1.3T vacation home market.

And it works. By handing keys to 2,000+ happy homeowners, Pacaso has already made $110M+ in gross profits in their operating history.

Now, after 41% YoY gross profit growth last year alone, they recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

  1. Why is the market going up when the economy isn’t looking promising?

IMO, there’s not enough reasoning to tear it down. Most stock crashes react after an unforeseen event. If it’s not an unforeseen event then know it’s planned.

Market crashes are designed to wash people out and create buying opportunities. If too many people are waiting for the buying opportunity then the investors with big money just keep buying.

This is my theory. In reality no one knows.

  1. How to do trend line analysis in real-time?

First off, people suck at trendiness because they are listening to advice like this.

1. Trendiness on its own cannot be trusted. Before you make a swing trade, you want double/triple conviction. For example, you want trend line break, volume spike, and for it to be in a demand zone. 3 different strategies that all support one another instead of only 1 telling you it’s time to buy

2. She says “when the trend line breaks it’s a signal to buy. FALSE. Once it crosses the trend line, you wait until it is backtested to make sure it stays above the trend line; which means give it a day or so to avoid getting faked out.

Is this analysis easy? It’s a strategy for someone at the beginner/intermediate level.

Final Thoughts:

I always encourage people to look for deep value (stocks that are underpriced compared to their value to the market), overreaction to news, and look for competitors who may be getting ignored.

Trendiness are cool, but even moving averages which is basic technical analysis can be more consistent.
