Was reading about Joby Aviation, a privately-held company that seeks to make an automated, fully-electric aircraft fleet to be used as an air taxi service. The company has received investments from Uber, Intel, JetBlue, Toyota, and Tesla backer Capricorn Investment Group. #BCSTT

@1776ers1 Thanks for the tag, very excited about this IPO and the future of this company. #BCSTT

With the amount of electric vehicles that I see driving on any given day, I don't think it will be long before some of these dedicated electric auto service stations start popping up across the world. #BCSTT

[Bloomberg @business]

The first all-electric auto service station will open in Britain on Monday as drivers increasingly avoid cars fueled by gasoline and diesel https://t.co/OPAEGRqpov

I wonder what prompted them to raise their price target by over 10%. #BCSTT

Downloaded a cool app today designed by @Porsche called Porsche AR Visualizer. It uses augmented reality to project a Porsche on any flat surface you want and allows you to customize it very realistically. Super cool. #BCSTT

Just saw news about Petco going public. Will they do as well as Chewy did after their IPO? Chewy is up over 150% since its 2019 IPO. #BCSTT #G

Just saw an ad on TV about a delivery company called Shipt, which is owned by Target. It seems like it has been around for a few years now, but I wonder why I haven't heard of them. Have any of you used it? How does it compare to Instacart and Postmates? #BCSTT #G

@colinlee42 What a rollercoaster for Nikola, their Badger truck, and their deal with GM. #BCSTT

@TomCiatto This could open some doors for Spotify as a social media platform. Before, people would be sharing playlists with their followers and now they will get to go more into depth on different songs/podcasts they like and listen to in the stories feature. #BCSTT

Wonder if this will be a precedent for other countries to follow. #BCSTT https://t.co/hsbz5uXGVx

With such a big deposit of lithium, I wonder why the US hasn't tapped into California's Imperial Valley yet. I wonder what this would do for the American electric car industry, but also for the US economy as a whole. #BCSTT #G

[Businessweek @BW]

California’s lithium could make the U.S. a player in a battery industry that China dominates https://t.co/DiOUYwRWqy

First Pfizer, then Moderna, now AstraZeneca? The race for a working vaccine is looking pretty promising to me ... I wonder when a vaccine will be available for widespread use. #BCSTT

[Axios @axios]

A COVID-19 vaccine from Oxford University and AstraZeneca is safe and produces strong immune responses in older people, preliminary findings of a phase two trial published in the Lancet today show

@stefanrapiteanu I may be biased since there is a CVS literally right next to my house, but I feel like people won't want to wait 2+ days for prescription delivery. However, this Amazon pharmacy will be huge for people who don't live in close proximity to another pharmacy. #BCSTT

[Nic Pelletier-Martinelli @NicPM2001]

I think that the real competitor that Venmo and CashApp need to watch out for is Zelle. It allows you to send money directly into someone's bank account rather than into a Venmo/CashApp account which means no transfer fees and little to no waiting. #BCSTT

[Ethan Guell @ethanguell]

Saw in the @MorningBrew that google launched a newer google pay app that will try to compete with Venmo and the Cash App. Differentiating itself by allowing users to connect their gmail accounts to sync receipts. Have Venmo and others cemented their network effects? #bcstt

@JoeHathaway_ Interesting, I think that golf is more of a lifetime thing though. I, along with many people that I know, just began playing golf over quarantine and do not plan on stopping any time soon. I think Callaway has a high customer lifetime value. #BCSTT

[Nic Pelletier-Martinelli @NicPM2001]

Moderna CEO said that the 94.5% efficacy rate for their vaccine could prompt it to be distributed as early as late December. With that being said, it is important that people continue to follow guidelines so things can eventually return to be as normal as possible. #BCSTT

[Yahoo Finance @YahooFinance]

Highlight: Dr. Garth Walker on the $MRNA vaccine: "What we need to do is stay focused on masking, social distancing... continue those habits in conjunction with the vaccine until we're able to get the rates at a level that can allow us to return to some form of normalcy."

[Nic Pelletier-Martinelli @NicPM2001]

I think that buying Peloton poses a good market hedge right now. If the vaccine does not end up doing as well as expected or if there is negative speculation surrounding the pandemic, the market will tank but Peloton share prices will rise. #BCSTT

[Nic Pelletier-Martinelli @NicPM2001]

Interesting to see a company that has struggled so much at the hands of the pandemic file to go public. I wonder how the spike in COVID cases that we have been seeing in the past few weeks will affect the company. Do you think this is a good time for them to go public? #BCSTT #G

[Nic Pelletier-Martinelli @NicPM2001]

Moderna and Pfizer have very similar vaccines. Pfizer's was 90% effective. If Moderna's results yield around the same effectivity rates, this could be huge for the fight against COVID. #bcstt

[CNBC @CNBC]

JUST IN: Moderna gives an update on its coronavirus vaccine trial, saying it has now reached the point where it can take an interim look at the trial. Results could come within days. @megtirrell reports. https://t.co/yiQbmHjhy5
