The merge is completed between Keurig and Dr Pepper and each company’s name just became longer. Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP). Prior to the merge, Dr Pepper’s share was 120s. They paid a special dividend of $110/share or so and KDP became a new “IPO” on the last Monday. I had some leftover money from prior purchase in my Robinhood account and purchased some of KDP @ $21. Yesterday, somehow, KDP was unavailable to trade. Today, the stock is available to purchase. Since the Monday, it increased by 18%! So, I sold poorly performed Proctor & Gamble (PG) holdings and made another purchase today. Let’s see how this new “IPO” performs in short term. I expect some pumping due to “IPO” and dump will occur as always. However, I have much better faith in KDP than any other IPOs that I dealt with due to both Keurig’s and Dr Pepper’s history. Let’s see how KDP performs!

I have been a long member of eBay since the late 1990s, a few years after eBay was created. I sold and bought many items. I personally think that I prefer eBay over Amazon due to the competitive price. Yes, Amazon offers “free” shipping. Why “free”? Since you are either paying monthly or yearly subscription fee. I do not consider it as “free” shipping as I do not purchase from Amazon as much. Only the downside of eBay is that many items are shipped from China and it takes weeks to arrive. As long as you are not in a rush of using the item, you can get many items much cheaper!
Anyhow, each purchase I make from eBay, I get at least 1% return from eBay Bucks. I also get another at least 1% return from Ebates. Time to time, Ebates give up to 7% return from eBay. Currently, Ebates is offering 2% cash back.
If you use the following link (https://www.ebates.com/r/DELSOL76?eeid=29041&utm_source=extension&utm_medium=raf_link), you get $10 after spending $25.
As soon as your rebate accumulates to $5, they send you a physical check that you can deposit to your bank. You can also download the Ebates’ Google extension. Whenever you visit any shipping sites that Ebates is associated with, an automatic popup will notify you that you are eligible for cash back rebates. Pretty good.
