Then answer the following questions:

If you had to limit it to accepting one type of cryptocurrency, would you choose to only accept stablecoins instead of one of the other types? Why or why not?

What impact would this have on your business (if any)?

Do you think most businesses will be accepting cryptocurrency in the future?

Would you consider investing in crypto currency? Why or why not?

 

Financial Insights Podcast Video

After that, you’ll be creating a Financial Insights Podcast Video. This is your opportunity to practice being a podcast host! According to a recent New York Times article, the number of podcasts has tripled in recent years and more than one out of three people have listened to a podcast during the last month. Podcasting is a great way to build your brand and establish yourself as an expert in your field. It’s also a lot of fun and can generate additional revenue for you.

In your video “episode”, you’ll assume the role of a Financial Insights podcast host. You’ll discuss the financial and stock performance of the three companies you researched in Assignments 1 and 2, and then go on to give your thoughts about the three cryptocurrencies that you selected as well as the future outlook of cryptocurrency use at businesses including yours. Get creative with your delivery using the research you’ve conducted in the first three assignments! You can even come up with your own original name for the Podcast.

Your completed recorded video should be no more than 5 minutes in length and uploaded to Blackboard along with your Assignment 3 template by Sunday midnight of Week 10. If you are having difficulties uploading your video to Blackboard, you may upload it to YouTube and then post the YouTube link for your professor in Blackboard.

Good luck and reach out to your professor with any questions.

Finally, list three takeaways or an analysis of what you’ve learned about each company based on their financial data (at least one paragraph each):

Company 1	YogaWorks Inc. has a debt to equity ratio of 0.86. The amount of debt used to finance the firm is therefore less than equity which is less risky for the firm. The firm’s operations are therefore relatively stable. It has a gross margin of 61% which is relatively fair. It is however operating at a negative income margin of 17% which shows that its operating expenses exceed its operating income. It should therefore look for ways to reduce its operating expenses and increase its operating income.
Company 2	Gaia Inc. has a debt to equity ratio of 0.54. This means that the equity of the firm is almost double the amount of debt in the capital structure. This makes its financial leverage very low and operations stable. It has a good profit margin of 87%. This shows that the cost of its services is low. Its operating margin is however at -7% which shows that its operating expenses are greater than its income. It should look for ways to reduce its operating expenses and increase its operating income.
Company 3	Lululemon Athletica Inc has a debt to equity ratio of 0.68. The amount of debt is therefore approximately 68% the amount of equity. The company therefore has a relatively low financial leverage and its operations are therefore stable. It has a gross margin of 55% and an operating margin of 25%. It is therefore operating at a profit with its operating expenses being approximately 30% of sales.

Then, dig a little deeper into it and click on the Chart and Sustainability. Discuss what the performance for this stock has been like and what you think of it in terms of its investment potential (your educated opinion here- at least one paragraph each):

Company 1	The stock of Yoga Works Inc from the chart shows a neutral pattern This shows that the stock prices are likely to remain relatively the same over a certain period. Investing in the company’s stock is therefore not likely to result in any returns in the long run. The company’s stock also appears overvalued.
Company 2	The stock of Gaia Inc. displays a bearish pattern. This shows that the prices are likely to go down in the near future. The sellers appear to be more aggressive in influencing the stock prices than are the buyers. I would therefore not advise on buying the stock but rather to wait for the prices to start rising. The stock also appears overvalued.
Company 3	The company’s chart displays a bullish pattern. This shows that the stock prices are likely to go up in the near future. The buyers appear to be more aggressive than the sellers in influencing the prices. I would therefore advise on investing in the stock to take advantage of the upward trajectory.
