The Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P) share price jumped 9% today, making it one of the biggest gains recorded in the ASX 200 (ASX: XJO).

Why did the Zip share price rise so much?

There was no official news released today by the business. Recently it announced a partnership with JB Hi-Fi Limited (ASX: JBH).

But it has been a strong day for growth shares and particularly the buy now, pay later sector. The Afterpay Ltd (ASX: APT) share price went up 10%, the Sezzle Inc (ASX: SZL) share price rose 9.1%, the Splitit Ltd (ASX: SPT) share price went up 15%, the Openpay Group Ltd (ASX: OPY) share price rose 6% and the Ioupay Ltd (ASX: IOU) share price went up 5.2%.

Afterpay and Zip are not exactly the same business, but investors may be thinking that a strong US update from Afterpay could spell good news for Zip as well.

Afterpay reported its US customer base was 35% higher than August 2020, whilst traffic to Afterpay’s brand partners was also “strong”. It said that it now has more than 16 million customers in the US and a total of 75,000 global retail merchants.

Is it time to jump on Zip shares?

The Zip share price has fallen significantly since the middle of February 2021, but a lower price doesn’t necessarily mean it’s great value. There are plenty of ASX growth shares that are already making large profits and fit the Rask investment philosophy much better.

RBA rates are now down, here’s what I’d do next…

With interest rates down, now could be one of the best times to start earning passive income from a portfolio. Imagine earning 4%, 5% — or more — in dividend passive income (+ franking!) from the ASX’s best shares, LICs, or ETFs… it’s like magic.

So how do the best investors do it?

Chief Investment Officer Owen Rask has released his brand new passive income report. Owen has outlined 10 of his favourite ETFs and shares to watch, his rules for passive income investing, why he would buy ETFs before LICs and more.
