Al Jazeera has called 2023 “the year of the layoffs.” As the news organization pointed out recently, it started badly in 2023, when Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) cut 10% of its global staff.

Not every touchdown during Super Bowl 58 happened on the field. Advertising slots are very competitive during the big game and cost companies millions of dollars to run.

You want speculative stocks with upside potential up to 3X returns? I’m going to give them to you. But you have to accept the risk. There’s (usually) no such thing as a free lunch and that especially applies on Wall Street. No one’s just going to give you stocks with upside potential to 200% or
The stock markets have been on a hot run for many months on the back of renewed enthusiasm due to rates and the continued run in artificial intelligence (AI). Undoubtedly, last week’s consumer price index number was a bit of a setback. But, markets managed to move on from the disappointing (and a tad overheated)
Some once great companies have fallen on hard times, causing their stock to sink. While surprising, the long-term decline of powerful brands is nothing new. Business history is littered with discarded companies that were once dominant but became irrelevant value traps over time. Many great companies cease to exist and become top blue-chip stocks to

At their core, call options represent a mixture of speculation on time value and intrinsic value. Knowing which one to deploy depends on myriad factors, including confidence in
The stock market’s strong rally in 2023 caused many investors to forget about the tumultuous times in 2022. While the stock market is experiencing strong momentum at the start of the year, thanks to artificial intelligence and other factors, not everything has gone up in bullish markets. A few stocks missed out on the 2023
There are a few flying car stocks on the market today I believe could lead to substantial gains for investors. These companies are known for high growth potential as well as relatively low valuations for what investors get for their money. Although these companies are in the very early stages of development and are risky,
While some investors prefer high-flying tech darlings, others seek “fallen angels,” or once-loved robust companies facing temporary challenges. With its shorter days and unpredictable weather, February can mirror the stock market’s volatility. Yet, for some beaten-down stocks, this season can serve as a fertile ground for potential growth. Not all stocks have participated in the
Tech stocks in the United States sustained a jaw-breaking rally in 2023, with the Nasdaq beating all other indices, accruing a more than 43% return. While stocks largely did not begin 2024 with a great start, the major indices have risen in the past few weeks. The Nasdaq has risen 6.2%, while the S&P 500 has risen 4.9%. With
Some hidden-gem 5G stocks are currently being overlooked by investors and are primed to surge in value this year. These stocks belong to companies that are either directly involved in developing and deploying 5G technology or are set to benefit significantly from its widespread adoption.

Budget semiconductor stocks are set for a boost with Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) long-anticipated halving event scheduled to take place in April. The halving is a cyclical event in which the scarcity of Bitcoin is increased as the volume of cryptocurrency awarded to miners is halved.

Last year was wild one for EV company Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). The stock surged higher toward year-end, as Tesla surpassed most of its earnings expectations. However, it appears Tesla’s delivery records were more of a result of the company’s price-cutting strategy, with CEO Elon Musk delivered a disappointing outlook due to inflation and low consumer demand.
It makes sense that enterprise artificial intelligence company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) and its investors would benefit from the machine-learning boom. However, “AI fever” seems to have reached a dangerous tipping point. If your AI stock outlook is too optimistic, you might overlook the major downside risks. Plus, the stock is susceptible to a sharp pullback because there’s a crucial
Despite recent challenges in inflation, there are positive indicators for the future of the U.S. economy. The unexpected resilience of consumer adaptation to higher prices, suggests a growing ability to adjust to the new normal.

I believe that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and AAPL stock have two core problems. First, excitement about the company’s flagship product, the iPhone, has largely evaporated. And second, the company’s efforts to create “the next big thing” to supplement the iPhone have largely failed. The Vision Pro won’t change this pattern. On the other hand, I think
Once upon a time, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) was an Electric Vehicle (EV) investor’s dream. That’s the first part of this MULN stock analysis. It became a nightmare. There are still well-meaning folks pumping the stock. I think they’re mistaken. This is a company that made 231 vehicles in the last quarter. Mullen lost $61.4 million
