3 of Brian's Favorite Tech Stocks (Shopify, Twilio, and Lemonade stock analysis)

everyone. I'm Zane back with Brian Withers, but this time we're not toking investing mindset, we're toking individual stoks. Brian's going to share a couple of his favorite stoks- in short, uh clips of why he owns them- and we're going to kick it off with Shopify. can you tell us a little bit about what Shopify does, why you own it and maybe some of the big opportunity or risks that you see? yeah, so Shopify. I think a lot of people who invest and may even own Shopify don't really completely understand uh sort of what the company does, and I guess uh simply is: if you are selling things on the internet, whether it's through your own website, through Amazon, Facebook, other other channels- um, you can use Shopify as a central point to hold all of your sort of back office information. it has your product catalog, your pricing, your orders- um you know you you can manage what's available and what's not available. so it's essentially um, if you're in in large corporate Enterprises, a lot of times people call tok about an Erp or an enterprise resource, um uh platform to manage all of all of your assets and what you're trying to sell. so Shopify does that for small business owners and and single entrepreneurs, and that's what I like about it really gives uh solo entrepreneurs a leg up and gives them access to super powerful software to enable them to build their business. and what's been interesting is there have been a number of companies- all birds and figs are two great examples- that started and grew with Shopify and then eventually went public and are their own companies in their own rights, still using Shopify as their platform, as where they got started. so the growth: not only you can help small entrepreneurs, but it has, uh, you know, upwards to large Enterprises as well. so it's it's um really neat there. yeah, that's that's a great point, because I think it's pretty tempting for investors to think, oh well, once the company gets big, they're just going to leave for Amazon or they're going to leave for whatever it might be. but that's really interesting. Shopify can actually hold on to customers like that. next, on The Chopping Block, do you want to tok about twilio a little bit? this is one that I still struggle, uh getting my head around uh, what they do, but I know they've been a pretty solid performer. yeah, so twilio is another one of those um that has come out of. I think they were founded in the 0809 era and um originally, when um companies were trying to communicate with their customers either via text or or voicemail messages, would have to put together a ton of of software and Hardware in their own data centers. you know, take time to build and connect to their legacy applications, and it was just really really difficult for the longest time and what twilio did was sort of package all that. they set up their own data centers- um, they call this the super Network- and basically with within a couple of hours, any software developer can spin up the twilio app, connect it to um, one of their legacy applications in their Enterprise and communicate with customers, whether it's your medical appointment is coming up via text, or your package- here's where your package is, here's where your pizza is, you know those kinds of things. um, we're these. these are all really normal, uh, normal things today, whereas 10 years ago they were extremely difficult and twilio makes it super easy for companies to get started. one of their most recent acquisitions, um, is called segment, which added onto that communication. um platform is a customer um, a customer data platform that captures all the data about you, your customers and where you have- whether you've left your, you've abandoned your cart, whether you've had service issues and it allows those messages to be much, much smarter and more focused and more personalized, and I think that's going to really help them grow the business going forward. that's that's interesting. I can I feel like that is such a a service that's taken for granted, or at least I do. I've never thought about where do these messages come from. you just kind of assume oh, they have my number or whatever. it must be easy, but that makes a lot of sense. um, pivoting, maybe we'll finish this up quickly with uh, lemonade toking about this insurance tik business which I actually am a shareholder of as well. so I'm hoping maybe you can kind of reaffirm my bull thesis here. yes, uh, lemonade, lemonade. all three of these companies have taken a beating uh, lately, but I am, I am super excited about lemonade for a couple reasons. one of the things that I see is they're approaching Insurance a little bit differently. um, as many of the existing insurance companies use agents to sell the insurance and sort of have a large agent Network as well as potentially large customer service call centers and things like that to handle incoming issues and whatnot. um, lemonade looks at all of that stuff and says: what can I do digitally first, how can I build this on what they call a digital substrate? and one of the examples is: within a couple of minutes you can submit a claim and about a third of their claims that they process are paid out instantly. you know, just think about dealing with your insurance company and you've had something happen and you, you call them and maybe they have to have somebody come out to the house and then you have to wait for things to happen. I mean, it's just insane that you know you can upload a video. you can you know if your, your apartment was, um, caught on fire or, uh, you had a theft, and you can just film it. you, they have your face there and then, um, and then they'll pay out the claim. the other thing is within like 60, 60 to 90 seconds, so think about waiting in line at the Starbucks. you can get a price quote from Lemonade if they serve, serve your area and again, lemonade had a recent acquisition of Metro mile, which really rounded out their insurance products. now they also have car insurance with licenses in 49 states across the US, so you can get from Lemonade. you can get renters insurance, homeowners insurance, pet insurance, life insurance and now auto insurance, and I think auto insurance was the one thing that was may be potentially causing people not to become customers. you know, why would I go with my home insurance if I can't get my auto sort of bundled with that? and now they're taking that away, they're taking that argument away and as lemonade builds out and they're they're really saying they're still really, really early in this game and um, I know like they don't have home insurance coverage in North Carolina yet or in Florida, and certainly they have active um auto insurance policies, I think, in eight states. so there's there's a tremendous growth Runway ahead and they don't do a lot of marketing. so it's it's word of mouth and sort of the app Community. um, they they try to strive to uh get younger users who've never even bought Insurance in the past and so really excited about what this company has. um, they're hiring people from other companies, established companies in the industry, and bringing them in to help increase the knowledge base, to balance out sort of the new disruption piece with, you know, the the complexities of the insurance business, so really excited about these guys. but you know, with all three of these I think patience is key and um, I think over the hold them over the next five to ten years, you'll be really happy. well said I I. now I'm reminded of why I own lemonade. it checks so many boxes for me, right? it's fundamentally different. it's fast, customer, uh, oriented, and that word of mouth marketing is so huge, and I love when companies can do that. you know, basically cut out a line item of expenses and have their customers do it for them. it's, it's really amazing. well, thank you again, Brian, for coming on and giving us the rundown on a couple of your favorite stoks. but if you're interested to see the other 14 in Brian's portfolio, go on Twitter and check out at stoks with Brian. um, some great, great material on there on his Twitter and if you're inte,

Amazon Lex - Conversational Bots with Shopify and Twilio

hello. in this video I will show you how we used Amazon connect to create customer support call center backed up with Shopify API. so external services that we used here: our Amazon Connect, lambda and Lex for voice recording we used earlier and finally, for customer data we used Shopify API. there are three interesting cold flows that I want to show you. so let's start with first. when cold arrives to the Amazon Connect, we have callers number available in our flow. say, medium started a call, we invoke a lambda function that will query shop for API by the phone number and get callers info. we can get that info from the API. we will use it to create a custom greeting for the customer. it will contain his name and we will also give him status update on his last order. after that, customer is presented with few options like connecting with an agent or getting order info. so the second flow I want to show you is getting an order info from the order ID. this is done by using Amazon Lex and lambda2 query Shopify API. at this step, customer is asked to provide an order ID. then we invoke Shopify API with a lambda function and if we find that order by the idea that customer provided, we will play the prompt message with text-to-speech functionality. and the last flaw that I wanted to show you is implementation of the voicemail. so, since Amazon connector does not allow recording of the call until the agent picks up incoming call, we had to use a trivia to do this. so, in case, when customer requests tok with an actual agent, he will be transferred to a queue where, if he has to wait too long, we'll be prompted with an option to leave a voicemail. if he chooses to do so, we will issue a call to our trillion number and/or the lambda function. we can instruct it to record a call and notify agents with mail once call is recorded. after that, recording will be available in the trivia dashboard. okay, let's start testing this. okay, there, no calling. we're calling snapback customer service. you have reached us during the off hours. please email us at support at snapback online. press 1 to leave us a message. press Q to check on the order status. provide us the order ID: one, zero, seven, zero. give me a moment to check 1070 status. your order 1070 is fulfilled on November 21st 2018. please email us at support at snapback amar. press one to leave us a message. press Q to check on orders.

Twilio Shopify and SPY Trade Setups Today

hey traders, nick here, um doing some homework after hours, looking back on day and see what we did wrong and right. today we didn't do anything wrong. today was really good. so, um, on top of the regular. by the way, if you do like this video, give it a like down below. um, so i do share my thoughts through a chat room, through write-up- write-ups, first, and for people who can be in the chat room 24-7. they're open, they can go chat, we can chat 24: 7, but on top of all of this, i added an extra layer of service, which is sharing my screens live during the day. so i have i don't know 20 charts going at the same time and trying to find positions in and out on intraday that yield results, and today they were outstanding. we played it pretty well, pretty safely, especially the smp, and i'll show you also shopify, just to name two. and the s? p was a massive, massive win, and i mean massive wins. so if somebody spent a dollar fifty on a call, it was nine dollars and 40 cents by the time was a time, the day was over, it was just a couple hours and it wasn't a lot of luck in there. it was um. so the point of this video is again, just like the one from yesterday. you can go look it up. um, use charts. if you don't get together with somebody that knows how to use charts, because the door is open for taking money from people who don't use charts, for example. uh, this was during the. by the way, today ended on. today was what, uh, wednesday fed day ended. i think the s? p was up three percent, but they were down 0.7 or something like that in the morning. so, um, it wasn't all roses. so the snp fell and i said i literally typed in to the chat room. i said, um, this is where the market makers can take money away from people, because they were testing what looked like a disaster. but if you had looked left, i i wish i had shown it here. uh, that's why i put the support zone, because there there was, there were a whole bunch of tails through 413, 6.. so i expected them to try and poke through stops, force people to capitulate by, get out of lungs and buy puts, and that's exactly what you don't do. so i added this line and i said this, starting to look like an inverse head and shoulders, and if it plays out, it's going to here. meanwhile you have to look for the support to hold. if not there will be descent. so we went long. i didn't nail the bottom. i think i got long here somewhere. so my position went red first. but i knew i had support, so i wasn't timing the market, i just knew that there would be support and i took a thesis along based against the support. so that's a reason to get long and not blind. and or you can wait for the breakout. either way you would have made a ton of money. so the stok market ended up way up there. so here's how it unfolded. this was 7: 59, so 8 o'clock my time in california, at 6: 30 is my time. when the mark opens, market opens. then, um, you know that's the same line. they breached it. so when they breached it, i said this is not the place where i get long. if i'm not long, i would not get long into this. i said you get long above that line or you wait for a dip to get long. either way, this is the target that i'm looking for, my trigger. but notre dame trade, i said could bring 421. it's right there could bring 421. by the way, i had 313 people, i believe today that's a record for me. um, everybody was having fun. couple people missed out and they were upset about it that they missed out because they had to step away. but that happens. it's not the last time. we did it yesterday, we'll do it again tomorrow. so this is post. if you see that that was um 9, 30 and then post i added these two. there were a series of other charts i didn't show you so. when they got to here and then they fell back, i said this is normal. i said, if i haven't gotten long yet, this is where i do get long, because they're retesting the neckline from which they broke out. it's normal. i said, however, if you do get long now, know that if they lose that they could come back a little bit lower, which also be okay. i said so, be careful for this. so the yellows are exactly the opposite of the red opportunity. it never played out, not yet hold on. then they went to the target, all right. so they didn't go to 421 yet they will by the end of the day, but anyway. so they got to my target. so, job done, boom, booked it, and then all hell broke loose. um, don't know what happened. i don't remember what happened. look at where they went. you saw it right. when did i draw this? they were already rallying. i drew this. look at where they went. and then the day ended super green, and i mean like super green. so this is shopify. what time? 744, around the time this was done slightly before that. let me see if i came back to it. yep, shopify. no, that wasn't the first one shopify. it was falling. and then i get this harmonic setup. it's a five minute chart, as the, the person that made this tool- this is harmonic tradercom- calls it reactive. so yeah, you can take it if you have corroborating evidence, and i did. the internals were good and i was going against support and i said: you know, you have to stop out here somewhere. and then this happened. so that was about an hour later. i drew this line, same chart, i added the line and i added the target and this is a little better picture of the same one. it got to it. so, either which way, that's shopify 460.. so i was already along shopify, so i didn't need to add along. but somebody i said: if you're brave, you can trade this because it makes a lot of money, but it loses a lot of money fast. a few people took it. i. i opted out. i was long via a debit call spread from a while back and it's green, so i just left it. i didn't actively buy a call. they're super expensive, they're illiquid unless you're on top and i know if i'm doing this with 300 people i would mess it up. so i didn't partikipate in shopify. but the the i was long sofi, which did well today. and anyway, if you're not looking at lines or you don't know how to draw lines, join a group that does. we do it all day, every day. if you can't be in the live room, everything you saw here was posted in. in fact, these screenshots i took from the chat room because it's easier to click on my link in the chat room in order to get here, so i don't have to go copy paste and all that. so find somebody that can draw charts for you or help you with that or or learn it yourself. it's not that difficult, it just takes a little bit. some people have it, some people don't. you know, you can look at a chart and see some things and you can explain it to somebody and it will take them a lifetime and they still don't get it. but that's fine. that's why they have somebody to help them out. so i'm not saying: get in this partikular way or that partikular way. i share mine. i say what the target is and everybody can trade it however they want. in fact, here's the thing: after hours somebody reported who was it. they fell apart. twilio. twilio reported and it fell apart after hours. let me see if i can bring you a picture. this is hilarious. so this is a one minute chart. this was going into the close and then market closed and then they reported earnings. this happened. so this was my guess about the earnings before the market closed. part of what i do is every day i go through all the open interest, all the volume of all the ones that we care about, and i share my thoughts as to what i think they should do. so my guess on twilio is: i looked at the open interest, i looked at the volume, i said i think it's going to fall and if it does, i will catch it. so that was my guess. tradition: the tool that i used as a source of data: guest bearish. it had bearish flow, very sentiment. i said i i don't disagree, but i think that it will rally after a dip, because i was looking out in time. i looked at their data and i think they misinterpret their own data, but that's fine. so my goal was to catch the falling knife and look what happened. so apparently there was a leak or a mistake in the report or somebody misread something. and look at what happened. this is a great company. so in the open, in in after hours, i said: if you guys can trade after hours, i woul.
