Recently, news with one of Meta Platforms’ (NASDAQ:META) competitors has been discussed as a catalyst for META stock. That would be the potential for a full U.S. ban of TikTok. But given what has transpired since Montana became the first U.S. state to ban the China-owned video-sharing app, that’s a tough sell. I am doubtful

Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) has demonstrated impressive top-line growth, and the PLUG stock perma-bulls will be sure to point this out. Yet, that’s not the full story. Even as Plug Power reports strong revenue and issues an ambitious outlook, the hydrogen and fuel cell producer seems to have trouble converting its sales into profits. It’s no secret

With the Scion Asset Management hedge-fund manager rocketing to fame thanks to the film “The Big Short,” seemingly everyone wants to talk about Michael Burry stock picks. Recently, CNBC featured the contrarian and often-enigmatic investor, disclosing Scion’s top 10 holdings as of the first quarter’s end. True to form, these Michael Burry stocks offer an

There’s a bad news, good news situation happening with global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). The bad news is that a highly respected investment fund reportedly liquidated its full position in AMC stock. However, the good news is that at least one analyst envisions growth and improvement for AMC Entertainment based on expected box-office receipts. AMC

Shares of Troika Media Group (NASDAQ:TRKA) tumbled 25% last Thursday after the firm revealed it had received a Staff Delisting Determination from the Nasdaq exchange. Troika had failed to meet two previous deadlines of reaching a $1 minimum bid price, and no further 180-day extension was granted. That means the popular meme stock now has

We’ve rolled through a bulk of earnings season, but now we’re hearing from the retail sector. So far, it’s been hit-and-miss, and the retail sector has struggled. That said, there are some of the best retail stocks to buy amid the mess. Consumer spending is the lifeblood of the U.S. economy. Put simply, we live in a

Succeeding in the increasingly crowded electric-vehicle market isn’t a walk in the park for any company. As a result, I’m convinced some EV stocks will be winners and some will be losers. That being said, investors have to be careful when they’re selecting EV stocks to buy. Also noteworthy is that I completely agree with Sino

As the saying goes, “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” That’s the trade-off with high-risk stocks. In exchange for the risk of sustaining large losses, investors in risky equities receive the potential for massive gains. During the 2020/2021 runaway bull market, risk-hungry investors crushed it, as speculative growth stocks soared to lofty prices. This was thanks in large

One of the places to find the best stocks to short are by viewing the Short Interest tables of major financial publications like MarketWatch and the Wall Street Journal. It’s there you find the heavily shorted stocks in the markets. As Investopedia states, “Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short

When I think of activist investors, Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman always come to mind. While you could argue that Ackman doesn’t practice activism often, the duo’s battle over Herbalife (NYSE:HLF) started in 2012 and continued for several years. There was even a documentary made about the fight between the billionaires.  Ironically, Icahn’s firm Icahn Enterprises (NASDAQ:IEP)

High-risk penny stocks have long tempted investors with the potential for significant returns. However, it is crucial to acknowledge the inherent risks associated with these speculative investments. If you’re investing in high-risk penny stocks, prepare for an exhilarating journey. It’s crucial to acknowledge the inherent risks involved in these speculative investments. This article will focus

On Tuesday, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) released its long-anticipated 10-Q report. It was much like watching a campy horror movie: You know things will be bad, but it’s hard to look away. In three months, the electric vehicle startup produced zero revenue, burned through $67.5 million of operating cash, and diluted shareholders by another 60%. Shares

The world’s foremost artificial intelligence stock trading algorithm, An-E, predicts that Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) stock will gain 7% by June 15. An-E (pronounced Annie) has made this kind of prediction before. Back in December, Wall Street was bullish on Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Analysts were convinced JNJ could only go up… but An-E knew better. The

Metaverse stocks are nowhere near as popular as they were a few years ago. They’re seen as high-risk now. Rewind to late-2021 and it was just as easy to speculate that they were a surefire ticket to riches. At that time, investors were scrambling to understand what the metaverse was, and what it could be.

As the banking crisis persists, bank stocks continue to trade at depressed prices. With this, many investors are waiting for Warren Buffett to step in and save the day. In recent years, Buffett has lowered Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) exposure to the sector. However, investors are hoping Buffett could potentially increase Berkshire’s banking stock exposure

By any conventional measurement, the current market valuation of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock looks ridiculous. At $288 per share, you’re paying 167 times earnings. The yield on the 4 cent/quarter dividend is 0.06%. (That may be less than your checking account.) You’re paying 19 times next year’s expected earnings to own it. It’s true that I

High-risk meme stocks have recently become incredibly popular in the media and across social media platforms. However, wagering on unpredictable assets without substance will be detrimental to long-term investors. In fostering a well-rounded strategy, it is imperative to focus on developing a diversified portfolio and focusing on a long-term plan. Stock speculation resembles gambling rather

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock has multiple, positive, potential catalysts but is facing a few important threats, as I pointed out in a column published on May 14. While performing research for this article, I identified two more potential, positive catalysts (the monetization of messaging and new virtual reality products) and one more threat (an order

With excitement over the rise of artificial intelligence (or AI) still strong, it’s no surprise that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares have continued to stay strong as well. In recent weeks, NVDA stock has remained on an upward trajectory. Adding to its larger gains earlier in the year, when “AI mania” first took hold, shares in the

The Cathie Wood style of investing has certainly fallen out of favor over the last year or two. While some growth stocks have rebounded nicely, many Cathie Wood stocks have been crushed. But that’s what a bear market will do, unfortunately. However, we’re now seeing some areas of growth investing come back to life, specifically
