Earlier this year, it looked like Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) was losing the generative artificial intelligence (AI) arms race to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT). However, Google just scored a win against Microsoft’s Bing search engine. That’s positive news for GOOG stock, and so is a U.S. high court decision that suggests Google will continue to
It certainly feels like we’ve entered a period of rapid change overall. The economy remains volatile as traditional systems continue to be in flux. And technology appears to be taking a quantum leap forward. That massive leap is being catalyzed by changes that will shape the fabric of our society, economy, and lives overall. It
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
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg famously declared that 2023 will be a “year of efficiency” for his company. This, however, seems to be at odds with Meta Platforms’ big (and, undoubtedly, costly) push to develop artificial intelligence (AI) technology. So, it’s fine to be bullish on META stock, but caution is advised and you might
Block (NASDAQ:SQ) is facing an array of intense, ominous threats, and its shares are not exactly cheap. Given these points, I continue to recommend that investors sell SQ stock. The company is somewhat vulnerable to declines in the value of bitcoin, and Square’s involvement in cryptos exacerbates the chances that regulators will look to probe

The U.S. economy experienced an unprecedented disruption over the past few years. Many sectors were caught up in the sudden stoppage of the economy in 2020, followed by an incredible boom thereafter.

Short-squeeze candidates aren’t very hard to come across in this environment. The current macroeconomic environment has ensured there is no scarcity of cash-burning businesses that are barely afloat. Thus, the bearish sentiment behind these companies has caused many stocks to have unusually high short-interest ratios. Such high short-interest ratios can make these stocks well-positioned to
While diversifying your portfolio and creating balance is important, holding high-quality outperforming stocks is also a great idea. The market always has a few names that not only perform well during the uptrend, but also manage to cushion from volatility and losses during a down cycle.

Last year was a terrible one for special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). Before going into the numbers, let’s revisit the overall idea of a SPAC. SPACs are also called blank check companies, used by management teams to raise capital from investors, without going through the traditional IPO channels. This allows companies to raise capital in

Indeed, the clean energy transition is well underway, putting energy stocks at serious risk over time. Net zero goals are aimed at reducing energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to zero, in order to limit global temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Snap (NYSE:SNAP) has gone from an up-and-coming name in the social media space, to arguably an “also ran” within the sector.

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
