Note: This is Part 2 of our two-part 7investing interview with Muji. If there's one thing you can count on with technology, it's that it can completely change the way we do things.   Music that used to be played on vinyl records is now being listened to through Bluetooth earbuds as digital mp3. Film reels in movie theaters were replaced by VCRs, which then got replaced by Smart TV streaming. Stick-shift cars eventually became fully-autonomous, while libraries evolved into digital assistants in our living room. There's no industry that's immune to technological innovation. Even our coffee is now being made and served by robot baristas!   This pace of innovation continues to accelerate further, as advancements in cloud computing and artificial intelligence are unlocking new opportunities for organizations of all sizes. Forward-thinking businesses are increasing sales by learning more about their customers, while those with complex supply chains are becoming more efficient by taking costs out of their operations. All of this innovation is excellent news for growth-style investors. By understanding the fundamental technologies that are shaping the future, we can identify the most promising companies who are capitalizing upon them.   So what are those important trends that are brewing today? And what are the specific investment opportunities that are arising?   To answer those questions, we've brought in a technical expert. Matthew Eash -- better known by his online moniker "Muji" -- is one of the world's most forward-thinking technologists. After spending decades as a data architect, he's now founded his hhhypergrowth newsletter to focus on the technologies powering today's most innovative companies. In this exclusive conversation, Muji speaks with 7investing CEO Simon Erickson about the important trends taking shape in the tech world. Muji discusses why the recent Confluent (Nasdaq: CFLT) IPO is so interesting to him and why several companies built upon open-source platforms often end up butting heads with the Cloud Titans. The two discuss usage-based pricing and the metrics investors should be evaluating in the new era of cloud-native software companies. They describe why Snowflake (Nasdaq: SNOW) is such a unique opportunity, as well as a variety of other topics that range from Kubernetes to edge networks.   Finally, Muji takes a closer look at several important events that have taken place in the cybersecurity industry during the past year, including the SolarWinds data breach and FireEye (Nasdaq: FEYE) spinning off its products division. He also describes what impact the White House's recent Executive Order will have on Zero Trust technology.   Muji and Simon share several of their favorite investment ideas throughout the conversation. This is a must-listen for any investors who want to capitalize on the biggest trends taking shape in technology! Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL), Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN), Cloudera (NYSE: CLDR), Confluent (Nasdaq: CFLT), CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), Elastic (NYSE: ESTC), Fastly (Nasdaq: FSLY), FireEye (Nasdaq: FEYE), Fortinet (Nasdaq: FTNT), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), MongoDB (Nasdaq: MDB), Okta (Nasdaq: OKTA), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), Snowflake (Nasdaq: SNOW), Splunk (Nasdaq: SPLK), Twilio (NYSE: TWLO), and ZScaler (Nasdaq: ZS). 7investing's advisors or its guests may have positions in the companies mentioned.

We’re headed into 4th of July weekend and we’re doing the first of two special shows focusing on achieving financial freedom. But, breaking news has caused us to change plans a little bit and we’re going to kick off the show by Walmart’s blockbuster plan to sell insulin for about half what it currently goes for. Dana Abramovirtz and Maxx Chatsko join “7investing Now” to discuss whether this could be a major market disruptor and force drug companies to make changes,. Then, we’re going to talk about Dana’s journey as a business owner and how you can take charge of your financial future. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

We’re back baby! But normal might not look the same going forward. It’s possible that the pandemic has changed certain behaviours. That will be good for some industries, bad for others, and just generally change the rules for many more. Maxx Chatsko joins Dan Kline to break down how this might work for investors. We’ll also check in on Intellia Therapeutics and take your questions. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

A lot of money has been made by tracking our identities on the internet. Social media sites follow our behavior and use those breadcrumbs to serve us ads even though we never opted in to letting that happen. That’s in the process off changing as we move to an opt-in world where companies have to explicitly ask for permission and Simon Erickson joins 7investing Now to explain what this means for investors. Plus, Anirban Mahanti sat down with Dan Kline to discuss whether there’s a real chance Comcast buys Roku or makes a deal with ViacomCBS. Welcome to 7investing.

Improving health care by making it more convenient The journey a patient makes in the health care system can be a long one - from getting an appointment, to waiting to see the physician, to finally getting a prescription for treatment.  Any roadblock on that journey, often something simple such as picking up a prescription, can have devastating consequences. Value-based care is all about focusing on the patient - providing them the best quality care for the least amount of cost. It is also about treating the patient more as a consumer and giving them the delightful experience that they get from their other service and retail providers.  Oftentimes, what the patient consumer is looking for is convenience. Convenient is certainly not a word one typically associates with health care.  But that’s changing.  Telehealth has finally gained acceptance, a silver lining from the pandemic, wearables are connecting to doctors’ offices, and increasingly medical networks have a usable patient app.  It may not be perfect yet, but it’s heading in the right direction. In today’s podcast, 7investing Lead Advisor Dana Abramovitz discusses how companies are making health care more convenient to patients with Amanda Epp, Co-founder and CEO of ScriptDrop.  ScriptDrop focuses on the last leg of the patient journey, getting their prescription. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this podcast include: Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD), Albertson’s (NYSE: ACI), CVS (NSYE: CVS), Walgreens (NASDAQ: WBA), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). 7investing’s advisors may have positions in the companies mentioned.

You can’t invest if you don’t have excess money in your budget. A lot of people make little financial mistakes that collectively hurt their ability to buy stocks and make long-term financial moves. Maxx Chatsko joins Dan Kline to talk about some of the financial drains that can be avoided (and a few that maybe can’t). We’ll also look at the first in vivo clinical results for CRISPR gene editing. Welcome to 7investing. We are here to empower you to invest in your future!

"10-Baggers" are prime examples of the amazing power of compounding in investing. The term was originally coined by legendary investor Peter Lynch in his book <em>One Up on Wall Street.</em> It refers to a company that goes on to return 10 times your initial investment, turning $1,000 into $10,000 or $100,000 into $1 million. Lynch went on to become one of the greatest money managers of all time. He ran Fidelity's Magellan Fund for 13 years and achieved an incredible compound average growth rate of 29.2%. During his time at the helm, Lynch <a href="https://www.forbes.com/2009/02/23/lynch-fidelity-magellan-personal-finance_peter_lynch.html?sh=407e3fb4474d">stocked the Magellan Fund</a> with more than 100 companies that went on to become 10-Baggers. Stocks that generate those types of returns can completely change your entire financial future. Buying into just a few 10-Baggers can supercharge the overall returns of even a diversified investment portfolio. But finding these high-flying performers is no easy feat. It requires diligent upfront research, a methodical investing process, and a boatload of patience. Are there future 10-Baggers available in the stock market today? If so, how do we go about finding them? And if we're fortunate enough to find and invest in them, how should we deal with them becoming an outsized position? In our June Team Podcast, our 7investing advisors share our approach to finding 10-Baggers. We reveal the different metrics and factors that we each look for, as well as several of the personal lessons we've learned along the way. Publicly-traded companies mentioned in this interview include Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Apple, Costco, CrowdStrike, FireEye, MongoDB, Repligen, Tesla, and Ubiquiti Inc. 7investing's advisors may have positions in the companies mentioned.

The pandemic changed a lot about how many white-collar workers work. Many people who used to go to an office every day stopped doing that. Going forward, not everyone will be heading back to a traditional five-day-a-week in-office work schedule. That’s going to have ramifications across the economy.
