No surprise the same firms that backed Uber, eBay, and Venmo already invested in Pacaso. What is unique is Pacaso is giving the same opportunity to everyday investors. And 10,000+ people have already joined them.

Created a former Zillow exec who sold his first venture for $120M, Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home industry.

They’ve generated $1B+ worth of luxury home transactions across 2,000+ owners. That’s good for more than $110M in gross profit since inception, including 41% YoY growth last year alone.

And you can join them today for just $2.90/share. But don’t wait too long. Invest in Pacaso before the opportunity ends September 18.

Recap Around the Street 🧠

The S&P 500 continues to melt higher, defying consensus expectations of weaker September returns. Could we be seeing front running of a Santa rally? The index is slightly overbought, which could usher in some chop (as it did back in July, very briefly). Positioning is a key driver of further upside, as institutions remain merely neutral this market even after an extraordinary 5 months. (Contributed by Cameron Dawson, CIO at NewEdge Wealth).
