Owning Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock was one of the biggest mistakes of 2022. It tossed tens of billions of dollars in developing something it couldn’t even define, “the metaverse.” It’s one of the best deals of 2023, because all that effort is being redirected and called “artificial intelligence.” Shares that were worth nearly $380 each

While uncertainty looms large, long-term investors have an opportunity within some high-growth sectors in the stock market. The headlines are dominated by the impact of inflation and interest rates, which will likely cause some volatility in the near term. But zooming out further, there are plenty of opportunities for growth. In some cases, outsized growth.

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) certainly uses artificial intelligence (AI) to its advantage. However, this doesn’t automatically mean TSLA stock should be classified as an AI stock. Nevertheless, Tesla’s loyal investors can remain optimistic about the future prospects of the company and the stock. On May 12, I declared, “It’s definitely not too late to

Today, I have potentially good news and bad news concerning SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI). SOFI stock investors can certainly celebrate the U.S. government’s passage of the debt ceiling deal. On the other hand, an upcoming decision from the Federal Reserve might be problematic for SoFi Technologies and its stakeholders. Don’t get the wrong idea here. Overall,

The term “magnificent 7 stocks” refers to leading tech firms that are propping up the market as AI mania holds strong. The group of ultra-high market capitalization companies continues to receive strong capital investment on those AI tailwinds and forward hopes.  Bullish investors are likely to continue to pile money into those shares. The overarching

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has seen incredible growth following its earnings report on May 24, with Nvidia stock surging around 30% in roughly one week. However, prior to this announcement, Nvidia has remained on a tear. On a year-to-date basis, this is a stock that’s surged approximately 175%, nearly tripling in short order. What’s truly incredible about

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) stock has reached its put up or shut up moment. The electric vehicle start-up says it will begin producing Class 3 trucks at a plant in Mississippi next month. It claims to have $279 million of orders from Randy Marion Automotive, based in North Carolina. This is on top of a $200

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) shares have continued to climb at a moderately-high pace. Positive news regarding regulatory approval of the tech giant’s acquisition of Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) has somewhat played a role in the MSFT stock rally. However, the key driver was high excitement about Microsoft’s high exposure to the artificial intelligence mega-trend. As a first-mover among big

Following the trades of highly respected investors can be not only fun but also profitable. In the case of Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock, a living legend in the world of finance reportedly took a stake in the e-commerce giant. I’d say this was a smart move, and there are reasons to consider starting your own share

After a powerful rally in 2023 so far, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock could be due for a pullback. The shares appear to be over-valued, and conflict with regulators in multiple regions of the world will likely be problematic for Meta Platforms. Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared that 2023 will be a “year of efficiency” for

Most of the commentary around Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN)stock is downright bearish. That’s fair, considering this is yet another early-stage EV company that’s on the ropes with respect to its cash burn rate relative to investor demand. Equity markets aren’t as easy to tap as they were two years ago, and the cost of financing has soared,

Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) stock has been a long-term bet for 13 years. We should now know by the end of 2023 if the bet can pay off. I have been a QS stock skeptic. I have not only worried about its engineering progress, but about the progress being made by its many competitors. I’m not alone

When it comes to stock investing, learning should come before buying, not the other way around. Unfortunately, some financial traders are jumping headlong into C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock because they’ve been told that artificial intelligence is a red-hot trend now. It’s fine to own a moderately sized share position in C3.ai if that’s what you want to

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock has been on a relatively wacky ride of late. Amid a bolstered production outlook, investors bid up RIVN stock to fresh monthly highs last week. The company has been making progress in scaling up its manufacturing capabilities and addressing supply chain challenges. This has boosted investor confidence and sparked hopes for a

With plenty of momentum, some of the hottest stocks and cryptos to buy are showing big signs of life. In fact, as we enter the second half of 2023, let’s take a look at seven of those hot opportunities, including: NVDA Nvidia $397.70 META Meta Platforms $272.61 XMR-USD Monero $147.38 AI C3.AI $34.72 BTC-USD Bitcoin

There are a couple of ways to invest in global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). You could buy AMC stock, or you could own AMC Preferred Equity Units (NYSE:APE). Either way, you’ll definitely want to consider the risks. One firm is in the process of dumping millions of shares of APE stock, and this might turn out to

Even though Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) stock is up sharply year-to-date, investors need to be careful now. Meta Platforms’ latest layoffs could be a sign of trouble. Also, Meta Platforms will have to pay a high price for failing to abide by data-privacy rules in the United Kingdom. Meta Platforms is involved in multiple different technology fields

It’s not difficult to find worrisome news about electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA). The real challenge would be to identify reasons to buy NKLA stock. Yet, it’s actually possible to build a bull case — and if you have a strong tolerance for risk, you might even end up investing in Nikola today. Suffice

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock is among the meme stocks investors continue to home in on. Like many beaten-down retail names, AMC faced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it was saved from bankruptcy by individual investors who turned its shares into meme stocks. To improve its financial situation, AMC has pursued various fundraising

Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), a major competitor to Tesla, has struggled to share positive updates for the past year and a half. Like many other aspiring automakers, its biggest challenge has been increasing production rates. This hurdle is crucial for transitioning from a startup to a mass car producer, and it is a crucial step for the
