Ocean tech stocks are seeing a resurgence recently, as ongoing sustainability concerns shift investor attention towards the open seas.

The explosive rally seen in November shows signs of faltering. As of this writing, the major stock indices have declined for three consecutive days at the start of December and there is no sign of a year-end Santa Claus rally.

What do you do if you’re running a struggling retail company that is bleeding red ink as sales continue to fall?

Sustainable stocks continue to get a bad rap from investors. The standard argument against sustainable investing is that it’s not profitable, even when done correctly using all the appropriate screens to exclude companies not adhering to the stringent criteria for sustainable stocks.

As I’ve noted in past columns, data shows that, despite the recent skepticism of the American media towards electric vehicles, EV ownership is continuing to grow rapidly in the U.S. Specifically, U.S. EV sales rose 50% last quarter versus the same period a year earlier, while the sales of Ford’s (NYSE:F) Lightning EV truck soared

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock rallied into its earnings report on Wednesday. However, the stock has plunged following the release as investors appear to be pricing in a weaker-than-expected outlook for the company. For AI-related companies like C3.ai, guidance can often be more important than the company’s numbers. That’s because investors don’t necessarily care what the company
With the stock market’s wild swings and worries of recession still looming large for 2024, I understand why so many investors have turned ultra-cautious and may only consider the safest, most rock-solid stocks. That’s especially true, given the market’s steep losses last year. Indeed, no one wants to see their portfolio’s value nosedive again. But
Late last month, and early into this month, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock experienced what could be called a pre-earnings rally, but in hindsight may have been little more than a “dead cat bounce.” However, this latest run-up for the “meme stock” legend has ended almost as quickly as it started.

Life is short. Time relentlessly moves forward, transforming seconds and minutes into hours and days. Before you know it, it’s nearly the end of 2023 and another year is winding down.

Disney (NYSE:DIS) might be famous for providing family-friendly fun, but owning DIS stock over the past two years surely hasn’t been much fun. Before you go bargain hunting, be sure to get the lowdown on Disney’s executive-level drama. Then, you’ll probably choose to park your investable capital elsewhere for the time being. Don’t get the wrong
It’s no exaggeration to say that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is a juggernaut in multiple market sectors. The critics can complain that AMZN stock is overpriced if they want to, but we’re giving it a confident “A” grade after a highly successful Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are other reasons to think about owning Amazon stock before the
Another week, another round of economic data. Yesterday, October job openings in the United States were again revised downward and fell to their lowest number since March 2021, underscoring the idea that the economy is indeed cooling.
