New shares: why are they in such high demand?
The new Stock CFD additions are some of the most popular and interesting securities of recent times.
For example, GameStop is an American chain of stores selling physical video games. In recent years, it has been in a difficult situation due to competition from the digital distribution of computer games and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the number of buyers to decrease. As a result, GME's share price fell, prompting many institutional investors to short the stock. At the same time, some investors suggested that GameStop shares were undervalued.
Everything changed in January 2021, when Reddit users initiated the historic short squeeze on GME shares on various stock exchanges. This led to serious financial losses for some of the big bearish players in the US stock market, particularly hedge funds. A coordinated buying by small investors in just two weeks boosted GameStop's share price from $20 to $500 per share! At the same time, the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies increased in parallel.
Another super popular company is Virgin Galactic, chosen by space lovers, dreamers and fans of the charismatic founder Richard Branson (Virgin Airlines). His social media accounts inspire faith in a new project related to tourist suborbital space flights. There was a time when speculators accelerated the price of these shares to $60 and then just calmly dropped it to $19. What awaits SPCE in the near future, and will it be able to compete with Elon Musk's projects?
If you are looking to add biopharma stocks to your portfolio, not only are Pfizer stocks already available at FxPro but also the newly added Moderna. At the beginning of 2020, it cost $10 per share, and now it is over $200! What impressive movement awaits this market newcomer next? Stay tuned for news on vaccination contracts, and don't forget technical analysis to help with responsible trading decisions.
Also on board at FxPro are stocks of super popular brands, including Salesforce, Coinbase, AirBnB, Zoom, Uber and even Nokia: by the way, Reddit users also tried to arrange a short squeeze on Nokia, but it didn't work out very well for them: the price increased by only $3, leaving hurried investors stuck in their long positions for a long time.
