While it’s always risky to go against the masses, certain short-squeeze stocks for contrarians to consider may perform surprisingly well. Invariably, even the collective sometimes gets things wrong. Certainly, if everyone bets on the same horse, the subsequent individual reward (if any) would be significantly limited. And that’s part of the reason why going against

In 2022, I was able to greatly reduce my stock portfolio’s losses by shorting several U.S. equities. I found it fairly easy to find favorable stocks to short, as the valuations of many companies were ridiculously high last year, and many stocks were pricing in scenarios that almost certainly would never materialize. For example, I

If you have a love-hate relationship with Mullen Technologies (NASDAQ:MULN), you’re not alone. “Bought at [41 cents] and I know it’s going to crash,” read a post on Reddit last week. “I’m about to get burned I know it.” The electric vehicle penny stock has become a curiosity over the past several months, earning both

Shares in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) have traded sideways over the past month. This is not surprising, given there have not been too many headlines about SOFI stock, since the short-lived excitement surrounding news of insider buying by CEO Anthony Noto. That said, there is something on the horizon that will likely bring this fintech stock

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is sometimes known as the graphics processing unit king or at least a contender for the crown. You’ll even find Nvidia’s products on the go, in self-driving vehicles. Unfortunately, the company’s fiscal stats make it difficult to give NVDA stock anything higher than a “D” rating at the moment. This is a dilemma that

In 2012, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) launched its first mass-production vehicle, the Tesla Model S. Love or hate the firm (or its controversial boss), the vehicle was a stunning leap forward in electric vehicle technology. The car could travel 265 miles on a single charge and earned the 2013 Motor Trend Car of the Year award. Reviewers

For investors in a wide swath of companies, 2022 was a rough year. That said, it was a downright brutal year for those invested in most tech companies. Indeed, the three stocks on this list are among the mega-cap juggernauts of the tech world. With market capitalizations ranging from $335 billion to more than $2

Biotech stocks are in high demand right now, with good reason. Indeed, these biotech companies have the potential to revolutionize the medical world and offer solutions to unmet needs, while their relevance is recession-proof. With growing demand for gene therapies, immune oncology, and precision medicine, biotech companies have a unique opportunity to impact the world

Hardly anyone, including the company’s fans, would call California-based neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) a winner in 2022. SOFI stock lost a great deal of value that year, but this could be a setup for a multi-bagger recovery. Indeed, at least one Wall Street expert sees a favorable reward-to-risk ratio for SoFi Technologies’ investors. So,

After a bruising 2022, how will electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) treat its loyal investors during the next 12 months? It’s hard to envision a strong bull case for LCID stock as there no clear positive catalysts. Lucid did raise capital recently, but it wasn’t “free money” by any means. Moreover, the automaker’s

Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) stock was a popular meme play during 2021, falling off the radar of the investing public as the “meme craze” came to a close. However, in recent months, MMAT stock has again been making headlines in both a bad way and, more recently, in a good way. In December, the materials technology company

Excitement over recent insider buying has cooled down, but there’s something else that may have some investors interested in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. SOFI has been affected by many factors, but the continued “student loan saga” has played a major role in the fintech stock’s slump over the past six months. This “saga” will come

To put it bluntly, Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) investors got the ground-and-pound treatment last year. It certainly didn’t help to lift anyone’s spirits when a notable stakeholder divested tens of thousands of shares of MMAT stock. On the other hand, it’s still a good idea to start a small position in Meta Materials. If all goes according

The S&P 500 generated a total return of -19.44% in 2022, its worst calendar-year performance since 2008. Not surprisingly, given that the energy sector was the only sector in positive territory this past year, up 59%, nine out of the 10 top stocks in 2022 were oil and gas-related businesses. Very early in the new year, investors

There’s no denying it: California-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) will have to prove its value to the shareholders in 2023. MULN stock could still have powerful upside potential, but financial traders must be nimble. In light of certain developments surrounding Mullen Automotive, it’s wise to time your entry point carefully. On one

In recent coverage of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL), I’ve taken a downbeat view on the tech giant’s near-term prospects. For instance, as I argued on Dec. 21, current economic headwinds, plus rising competition, could continue to impact the company’s growth, resulting in subpar returns for GOOG stock in 2023. That said, there’s a possible path Alphabet’s management

It’s no secret that investors of California-based neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) have struggled in 2022. Yet, now is a time to hold SOFI stock, not dump it. If you need a real confidence-booster, check out the insider buying activity and you’ll be convinced to stay in the trade with SoFi Technologies. Is it possible

After getting burned by the latest with the “student loan saga,” SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) investors have found a new reason to remain bullish on SOFI stock. That would be news of insider buying of the fintech firm’s shares, by CEO Anthony Noto. As InvestorPlace’s Eddie Pan reported last week, Noto has purchased $7.4 million worth

The last thing United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) stock needs now is controversy. However, it seems that the carrier is involved in a scandal that’s grabbing the headlines. Still, this probably won’t have a long-term negative impact on UAL stock. Indeed, the shares are worth a “B” rating because United Airlines offers an interesting clean-energy angle for

There’s no denying it: Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is, like many other technology names, out of favor on Wall Street. However, this isn’t a valid reason to give up on GOOG stock. Alphabet’s still a tech leader and innovator, and if you don’t take a share position now, you’ll probably regret
