UBER has decided to IPO at the lower end of market expectations at $45 per share with a view to raising $82 billion. Priced well below market expectations of $50. Therefore it is highly likely that UBER will have a successful first days trading that could easily see the stock trade higher by 10% to $50 that would value the company at $90 billion.

Uber is currently losing $1 billion per quarter, after all it is just glorified cab company with an App, So it's current business model clearly does not work. However, the BIG Plan is to replace drivers with robots. That's going to take some time to achieve, and maybe someone else will get there first. So basically don't get carried away with investing in UBER today for there are far better tech plays as I covered in my Top 10 AI stocks analysis.

As for beyond today, we'll I just don't see it as a good investment. Like I say there are far better stocks out there.

Stock Market Trend Forecast 2019

My in-depth analysis posted on the of 1st March 2019 Stock Market Trend Forecast March to September 2019 concluded in the following trend forecast for the Dow to achieve at least 28,000 by Mid September 2019.

At the update of April 7th update (https://www.patreon.com/posts/stock-market-dow-25930920) the stock market was running ahead of the forecast by some 700 points.

When I warned to expect the stock market to converge towards my trend forecast rather than continue trending higher.

However, with stocks approaching resistance at previous all time highs I consider the most probable outcome is for the Dow is to converge towards my trend forecast during the remainder of April.

Which brings us to the present:
