For all the hubbub about the legitimacy of crypto, stock in crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock is matching the market. Over the last year, the S&P 500 is up 8.5%. Coinbase stock is up 10.4%. On the other hand, COIN stock has been a wild ride, trading at $50 in mid-June and at $100 barely

Plenty of “hot stocks” from the 2020/2021 runaway bull market have bounced back in a big way so far in 2023, but few have done it to the extent Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) has year-to-date. As you may recall, at one point CVNA stock was changing hands for as little as $3.55 per share last December. Since

Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) is a speculative aviation stock that holds a $1.78 billion market cap, ranking 70th in the Aerospace & Defense sector. That’s relatively impressive, considering the company provides investors with negative earnings, zero revenue, and no profit margin. Of course, with plenty of speculative upside, the question is whether Archer Aviation has what

Warren Buffett likes to say that you only need to be right about one or two stocks to succeed as an investor. This helps to explain why the Oracle of Omaha’s portfolio is concentrated in only a handful of stocks. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Buffett’s biggest position, accounts for nearly half (46%) of his $354 billion investment

During the 2010s, Block (NASDAQ:SQ) stock benefitted as the company innovated itself to the top among America’s transaction processors. Instead of looking for customers through banks or re-sellers, and building a complex system of special deals, Block went directly to merchants. It offered simple pricing, and a dongle that worked on a mobile phone. It

Investors are aware that the same pressures facing the automotive industry also affect the aviation industry. The environmental impact of burning fossil fuels to power transport has come under scrutiny for both. Therefore, electric aviation startups are beginning to garner the attention that electric vehicle (EV) firms have, and investors have grown acutely interested in

Warren Buffett is undoubtedly one of the greatest investors of all time. The Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK-B) CEO has one of the best long-term investing track records and seen as a guru among many in the investing community.  This stellar track record means many investors follow Buffett’s buying activity closely. As a steadfast buy-and-hold advocate, his recent moves raise

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock hit a peak early this month after announcing earnings, at over $46 per share. Since then, shares of Li are down 14%. Li stock bulls may be asking why. I offered some glib answers last week. China’s recovery is unstable. Many American investors fear its government. But there’s more going on under

Buying dividend stocks can be tricky. Oftentimes, stocks that pay exorbitantly high dividends have underlying financial problems, and their share price is languishing. The dividend is used as a carrot to keep shareholders hanging on in what is known as a “dividend trap.” This is a situation best avoided. That said, there are a number

From early to mid-August, shares in Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) experienced a slight pullback in price. However, in more recent trading days, META stock has started to bounce back. As of this writing, the tech giant’s shares are back to the $300 price level. With this, if you so far haven’t added

Yiren Digital (NYSE:YRD) is up by nearly 75% year-to-date. Over the past twelve months, YRD stock has gained by more than 134%. With such a strong performance, many questions emerge. For starters, what’s the story with this China-based fintech firm? While not an obscure stock per se, admittedly it is not one of the most

Let’s be perfectly honest. Many traders had never even heard of American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC) stock until Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk brought up the topic of electricity shortages. Suddenly, AMSC stock was headed for the moon – but don’t buy any shares until you’ve conducted your due diligence on American Superconductor. Headquartered in Massachusetts, American Superconductor

Certainly, there are pros and cons to holding Mastercard (NYSE:MA) stock. The company’s dividend payments are minuscule. On the other hand, Mastercard is a recognized giant in the payments-processing space. There’s nothing wrong with investing in Mastercard as long as your expectations are realistic. As we’ll discuss in a moment, Mastercard appears to be rejecting

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock could have a banner year in front of it. Companies providing easy-to-implement AI solutions could gain as businesses seek productivity improvement. In this age of rising inflation and increasing wages, productivity gains simply haven’t kept up with companies’ rising costs. Thus, companies implementing AI-based productivity improvement measures may gain the upper hand

August has been a volatile month for the stock market. Corporate earnings, a rise in bond yields, and a deepening economic correction in China have conspired to send all three major U.S. indices down about 3% over the past month. Amid the downturn, there are still some clear winners among the top growth stocks to

The year 2021 was the time of the meme stock. Companies like GameStop (NYSE:GME) saw their share prices surge to previously unthinkable heights as traders leaned heavily into short-squeeze stocks. That momentum rapidly cooled in 2022, with meme stocks plunging across the board. However, short-squeeze stocks are back in 2023. As of August 23rd, approximately

As traders continue to make millions from their mother’s basements by YOLOing Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) calls, a lurking threat casts a long shadow over the global financial landscape. I have a lot of fun joking about the mania in NVDA stock on social media, but the truth is none of this will ultimately matter if I’m

Quantum computing, a field that leverages the principles of quantum physics, has been steadily gaining traction over the years. Among the companies vying for dominance in this nascent industry, IonQ (NASDAQ:IONQ) stands out with its unique approach to quantum computing. Despite the compelling story painted by the company, however, investors should tread carefully with IONQ

Since offering a downbeat forecast early this month Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock is down. AMD has a market cap of $174 billion, about 7.3 times revenue. Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) dominance in the cloud, it seems, leaves AMD with only leftovers. Despite this, analysts like AMD stock almost as much as they do Nvidia, where sales

Space stocks are struggling on the heels of 2021’s atmospheric exuberance, and many once-vaunted companies are falling back to Earth. Broadly, space stocks returned a paltry 5% since January, compared to the Standards and Practices 500’s 15% jump.  But space remains a viable long-term play for investors critically evaluating prospects without getting caught up in
