Live Teaching and Trading with a 20+ year seasoned trader right at your fingertips!
Join Jeff Williams in our Market Masters Room this morning from 9am to 11am ET to watch and listen as he breaks down markets and some of the hottest penny stock movers today.
Good morning!
If you’ve been following my emails over the past month, you know I’ve been on a huge win streak with my small-cap picks.
And we’re not talking about pipsqueak gains either…
These have been single-day moves of 20%… 30%… even 40%…
I call them “tactical trade” ideas because they require quick, precision strikes and a willingness to “exfil” if things go south.
Last week, I pinpointed two double-digit winners, with one of them surging as high as 40%.
Yesterday, my SMS list got to watch this beauty:
It was up nearly all day yesterday and even hit new highs in after-hours trading today.
As promised, this morning I have a brand-new “tactical” idea….
The more I look into this company, the more I’m convinced it could be a genuine market disruptor in the world of digital advertising.
Statista expects digital ad spending to hit a whopping $298.4 billion this year, and to top $400 billion by 2028.
Right now, though, almost all of that money is being scooped up by industry giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft…
The big social media sites scoop up their fair share too, with Meta (Facebook and Instagram), YouTube, TikTok, and SnapChat at the forefront.
A portion of that money — Statista estimates it will reach $24 billion this year — does go to individual users, but so far it has been largely limited to high-flying “influencers.”
Until now.
Go ahead and pull up Thumzup Media Corporation (TZUP) on your trading platform.
The company — founded in 2020 and based in Los Angeles — is “democratizing” digital advertising by enabling everyday social media users to become “micro-influencers” by paying them to post about their favorite brands and businesses.
“Democratization” has been a huge trend over the past 15 years…
Think about what Uber did for the transportation industry, what Airbnb did for lodging, and what DoorDash did for food delivery.
All of these companies rapidly reached multi-billion dollar valuations because they allowed everyday people to participate in industries previously reserved for only a few.
TZUP recruits local businesses — but also brands that aren’t tied to particular areas — to sign up for its app and start advertising campaigns.
The businesses then set overall campaign budgets as well as prices they’re willing to pay social media users to post about their companies.
On the other side, social media users sign up for the app and can browse businesses and brands willing to pay them to make sponsored posts.
TZUP does preliminary screening of the posts (making sure photos are in focus and not pulled from somewhere on the internet, etc.), adds a few hashtags, then lets businesses know when posts are ready for approval.
If a business approves a post, it goes live and the social media user gets paid the promised amount via Venmo or PayPal.
It’s as simple as that.
Right now, TZUP is focused on Instagram but it has plans to expand to Facebook and TikTok in the near future.
Just last week, the company announced it is nearing completion on functionality to integrate with Instagram Reels — the hugely popular short-form video feature.
Similar to Uber, TZUP first launched in a localized area — in its case, Los Angeles — so it could reach a critical concentration of advertisers and “micro-influencers” on its app.
Over just a few years, though, the company expanded to big cities such as Seattle, Portland, New York City, and Columbus, Ohio, and it now has a presence in twelve states.
By the end of 2023, Thumzup had recruited 183 advertisers, and as of October 2024, the company had reached more than 500 advertisers — nearly tripling its advertiser base in just ten months.
In an interview with CBS Los Angeles, the owner of Hallowed Ground, a store in Marina Del Rey, said her revenue grew by 40 percent in the first five months of using Thumzup.
“Even if they don’t have as many followers, who are their followers? [They] are people who are their friends, who trust them and their opinions, and so that’s more valuable to me than an influencer,” she said.
To date, TZUP has paid out approximately $230,000 to creators.
In the CBS report, one TZUP user who uses the app as a side hustle said she “started off making about $50 to $75 a week, and I am up to about $500 a week, but potentially I haven’t even hit half the businesses [in her area].”
TZUP listed on the Nasdaq just two weeks ago at an initial price of $5.00 per share before jumping as high as $6.00.
It gradually pulled back to about the $4.90 level and began another runup this week.
Yesterday, it was up 4% to $5.12 in what I think could be the start of a significant upswing.
Tech startups like TZUP tend to do very well during easing cycles when they can get cheap capital to rapidly grow.
I think as rates ease and the more investors learn about this truly disruptive company, we could see the stock grow by several multiples.
Naturally, that’s far from guaranteed. I recommend doing your own research beginning with the company website as well as this investor presentation released just this month.
As always, be sure to approach your trading in a responsible manner. Trading is very risky, and nothing is ever guaranteed, so never trade with more than you can afford to lose.
Please read the full disclaimer at the bottom of this email as well so you are aware of additional risks and considerations. Always have a well-thought-out game plan that takes your personal risk tolerance into consideration.
Bottom line: TZUP is following in the footsteps of massively successful “democratizing” startups and is tapping into a $300 billion industry.
The stock is off to a good start after listing on the Nasdaq late last month. It jumped 4% yesterday in what I hoep could be the start of a significant upswing.
Don’t miss a moment of the action with TZUP as it develops throughout the day.
To Your Success,
Jeff Bishop
*Just so you know, what you’re reading is curated content for which we have received a monetary fee (detailed below) to create and distribute. Let’s be clear that investing can be quite the roller coaster as stock prices can have wild swings up and down, so consider those crucial risks before you ever consider trading anything we discuss. Make sure you check out our full disclosure down below for the details on how we were paid, the risks, and why these results aren’t what you’d call “typical.”
Just a quick heads up about this ad you’re reading—as we’ve said, even though we like the company referenced above, and all the facts we discussed above are true to the best of our knowledge, we are running a business here. To distribute this information and help offset the costs of maintaining our large digital audience, in advance of writing the content above, we received twenty five thousand dollars (cash) from Sica Media for advertising Thumzup Media Corp for a one day marketing program on November 12, 2024. Previously, we were paid fifteen thousand dollars by Raising Stakes to run advertisements enhancing public awareness of Thumzup Media. The owners of RagingBull are not currently invested in Thumzup Media.This was paid by someone else not connected to Thumzup Media Corp. It might be obvious, but whoever paid for this might own shares and is likely looking to sell some or all of them at any time after we send out this information, which might affect the stock price. We may also buy or sell shares in the company at some point in the future, although neither RagingBull nor its owners own any shares of the company at this time. Also, keep in mind that due to the sheer size of our audience, if even a small percentage of people decide they want to buy this stock, it could potentially boost interest enough to hike up those share prices and cause a temporary spike, and the opposite is possible as our program ends, though that is not always the case.
Now, diving right into Thumzup Media Corp might sound exciting. But remember, it’s like venturing into the wilderness—be aware that there’s exceptional risk involved in trading. This isn’t small potatoes we’re talking about; you could lose every dime you put in, so always carefully think about what you’re doing. That’s why they call this trading, after all. We’re shining a light on the good stuff about the company here, but it’s on you to do your homework, make your own calls, and determine a plan for your own trading, hopefully with the help of your professional 1nvestment advis0r.
Oh, that brings us to another crucial point—we’re not here to tell you (or even recommend) what you should do with your hard-earned money. We’re simply sharing our non-expert thoughts by highlighting some companies we like that could use some help telling their story to more people. We’re obviously biased in our writing. We’re not here to dig into anything that may be negative about the company; this is advertising, after all! Also, keep in mind that if we make some predictions about the future, these are technically known as “forward-L00king statements” under the securities acts, so take those with a grain of salt. As with all forecasts, they’re not set in stone, often wrong, and we certainly can’t know where the Company’s earnings, business, or share price will be tomorrow or a year from now.
Everything you read from us is all for your education, information, and possible entertainment. While we believe the info is reliable and accurate, we can’t wear a cape and guarantee it. Before you jump into anything, make sure to talk it over with a pro—someone you trust who’s licensed to give you real advice. To be clear,
Neither Raging Bull nor its owners, employees, or independent contractors are registered as a secur1.ties br0ker-deale.r, br0ker, 1nvest.ment advis0r (IA), or IA rep’s with the SEC, any state securities regulat0ry auth.ority, or any self-regulat0ry organization.
