Large tech stocks are having a great 2023 so far. Judging by the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), the sector is up 24% year-to-date. After tech’s rough 2022, many investors are giving these companies a fresh look today. With the crisis in the banking sector, for example, it’s understandable why investors are moving funds back into technology as a
I’d be the first to agree that Wall Street analysts are often wrong. Quite frequently, in fact, in the case of analyst downgrades, they focus excessively on minutiae, such as tiny “misses” (i.e., quarterly results that come in slightly below analysts’ average estimates) or a small decline in profit margins. And they often overlook or
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.

AI has been the talk of the town this year, but many of the businesses involved in the sector are tech stalwarts
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
Make no mistake about it: Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has established itself as a leader in developing hardware for artificial intelligence applications. Nvidia hasn’t abandoned its status as an innovator in the broader graphics processing unit market. Therefore, even after the impressive year-to-date run in NVDA stock, don’t be surprised if it continues to head higher. Some financial traders
Over the past eighteen months, shares in Cash App and Square parent Block (NYSE:SQ) have fallen in price by around 75%. With this, many investors may believe that the worst is already priced-in with SQ stock. But while Block’s valuation is a lot more reasonable today than it was in late 2021, don’t assume that
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)
Electric vehicle stocks have emerged as one of the most sought-after investments. Furthermore, in the coming years, industry-leading EV companies are poised to dominate the auto market.

In the last decade, few companies have touched the magic trillion-dollar valuation. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL) are the names worth mentioning. While these businesses will continue to create value, I am more interested in finding the next trillion-dollar companies. An interesting point to note is that most of the trillion-dollar
If Warren Buffett was your financial advisor, he might steer you toward reliable blue-chip investments, not wildly speculative stocks to buy now.

However, BRK-B lacks the upside potential that these less-recognized enterprises deliver. To be sure,
Streaming stocks have not had a very good run lately. For a while, many of these stocks were screaming higher as the companies continued to add tens of millions of new subs. Now though, this group has fallen on hard times. It’s got many investors looking at this group as high-reward stocks. Here’s the problem.
Ranking among the most speculative practices in the equities arena, deliberately bidding up short-interest stocks may generate wildly robust gains. At the same time, higher risks for the intrepid market participant also signifies substantial risks. Fundamentally, triggering emotions of panic undergird short-squeeze stocks.

A few recent news stories highlight the tremendous power of artificial intelligence to improve our world and boost business performance. A doctor says that the technology can be a key means of enabling healthcare to become more personalized and making diagnoses earlier.

One of the key advantages of dividend stocks is their potential to enhance total returns. While stock prices can be volatile, dividends provide a consistent income stream that can help offset market fluctuations.

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
