Is Facebook a monopoly? The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) thinks so and it has filed a new complaint against the company after a federal judge rejected an earlier filing. The new suit alleges that Facebook “used anticompetitive acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp to further its monopoly power and that it also unfairly blocked rivals from accessing its application programming interface (API).” What will happen?

One of 7investing's key principles is to think longer-term. There's a lot of short-term noise in the market, which causes significant volatility in stock prices. Patient investors who can tune this noise out and focus on the bigger picture have an excellent chance of improving their long-term returns. There is also significant volatility in the world of cryptocurrencies. Traders obsess over the daily price of Bitcoin, rather than focusing instead of the growing global adoption of blockchains. So what are the important signals that long-term investors should take note of for cryptocurrencies and blockchains? To answer that question, 7investing has brought in the crypto experts. Spencer Randall is the co-founder and CEO of CryptoEQ, whose mission is to simplify cryptocurrencies and provide thorough research for investors to made more educated decisions. 7investing and CryptoEQ have partnered as organizations, to help individuals better understand the collision of equities and cryptocurrencies. In this exclusive interview, 7investing CEO Simon Erickson chats with Spence about the more important developments taking place in the world of crypto. The two discuss America's recent regulations, countries who are adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, the potentially allocation of crypto in retirement accounts, and an intriguing opportunity for blockchain infrastructure in the Metaverse. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Coinbase, MicroStrategy, and Voyager Digital. Cryptocurrencies mentioned include Bitcoin and Ethereum. 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies or cryptocurrencies mentioned. Welcome to 7investing.

The stock market fell on Tuesday after reaching an all-time high Monday. Investors have become a little bit spooked by the rising number of coronavirus cases caused by the Delta Variant and, perhaps, panicked that a 1.1% drop in retail sales in July may be a sign of darker days ahead. Dan Kline is joined by Maxx Chatsko to explain what’s actually happening and why a little slowdown in consumer spending may actually benefit the market on the August 18 edition of “7investing Now.” Welcome to 7investing.

The solid performance of Softbank’s legendary Vision Fund helped the company report record-breaking earnings earlier this year. But due to China’s unpredictable regulations, Softbank has now pulled the plug on all new investments in the country.

Logistics may be one of the most important things you rarely think about. When you get two day, one day, or even same-day delivery, an awful lot of moving parts have to come together to make that happen. GXO Logistics (NYSE: GXO) will be one of the companies working behind the scenes to make the magic happen. Spun-off earlier this month from XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO), a top ten global logistics provider of supply chain solutions to some of the most successful companies in the world, GXO will be its own standalone company with no ties to its former parent. The new company “is now the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world,” while XPO will remain “a leading provider of transportation services, primarily less-than-truckload transportation, and truck brokerage,” according to the spin-off press release. Mark Manduca serves as Chief Investment Officer for GXO responsible for analysis of the company’s growth opportunities, optimization of its asset portfolio and oversight of its U.K. pension investments. He will also play a key role in ensuring that GXO’s investment case reaches a global audience. With his company less than two weeks old, Manduca sat down the Dan Kline to discuss its origin story, what it hopes to accomplish, and the logistics market in a broad sense. He also talks about the role of automation and which companies he sees as major players in the logistics space. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

Sometimes the best investment ideas come from companies seeking to disrupt well-entrenched industries. That, of course, isn’t easy to do because the establishment has a well-vested interest in protecting the status quo. Health care offers a lot of opportunity for disruption, but it also may come with as many roadblocks as any other area. Dana Abramowitz and Simon Erickson join Dan Kline for 7investing Now to dig into what’s happening in healthcare disruption and the forces disruptors are coming up against. Welcome to 7investing.

The House of Mouse reported its third-quarter earnings on August 12 and the numbers told a lot about where the company stands as parts of its business recover from the pandemic while other segments continue to (in some ways) benefit from it. It was a massive success for Disney which saw its business segment which includes its theme parks return to profitability and its streaming service continue to post incredible growth.

Long-term success in investing is about much more than just picking good stocks. There are several lurking landmines that could wreak havoc on our long-term investment returns. Emotional and unconscious biases often convince us to buy or sell great companies at exactly the wrong time. Ecstatic bubbles can pop and create panic-laden recessions, causing broader-market sell offs that torpedo entire sectors. And while they may be seldom-discussed and underappreciated, the cousins of risk and luck have an undeniable impact on the success of businesses and on investment portfolios. In short, it’s a crazy world out there. The more we can do to acknowledge and course-correct against the strong current of factors working against us, the better off we’ll be as investors. It was Napoleon who once said “a genius is the man who can do the average thing when everyone else around him is losing his mind.” To help us navigate the ever-changing map of long-term investing, we’ve brought in one of the world’s brightest financial captains. Morgan Housel is a partner of the Collaborative Fund and has spoken about behavioral finance at conferences all across the globe. He is also the author of The Psychology of Money, which shares several lessons about long-term success in investing and in life. Napoleon’s quote is prominently displayed on the very first page of his book. In an exclusive interview with 7investing, Morgan brings a goldmine of advice and information to help investors. We organize a wealth of knowledge into 7 themes (it had to be 7!), where Morgan provides his overall thoughts, cites several historical examples, and provides the most important investing takeaways. 7investing CEO Simon Erickson also spots Morgan up with an investing-related question for each of the seven themes. We also recommend having 7investing put up the buy-in for Morgan to join the World Series of Poker (you heard it here first), question his likeness to a character on Game of Thrones, and offer advice for younger investors. And as a closing finale, Morgan answers seven questions that were submitted on Twitter by our 7investing followers!
