Zip Co’s (ASX:ZIP) shot up more than 15%, but will the zip continue to go up?

Wealth Within’s chief analyst Dale Gillham and senior analyst Filip Tortevski don’t think so, they say the company’s ‘not making any money’.

“This stock, obviously the darling of the COVID era where everyone was at home and trading from their bedroom (…) one look at this company, it’s still not making any money,” Fil Tortevski said.

“It is one of those darlings people are buying into, can it repeat the feats?…”

“How many times have we seen that a stock that’s gone zooming up made people heaps of money – I’m talking retail investors (…) and people that don’t necessarily know how to trade,” Dale Gillham said.

“They make money and it just tanks and they lose all their money, but then they want to see it repeat exactly that again, and it’s not going to happen.

“It will not repeat that big run. It’s not making money, so how’s it supposed to grow if it’s not making money?

“Rule number 1, buy stocks that actually make money. Rule number 2, refer to rule Number 1!”
