We’ve already seen valuations drop in 2022, as investors priced in an economic slowdown. However, it’s unclear whether a full-on market crash is being priced into equity markets right now. Indeed, many pockets of the stock market are showing signs of life once again in 2023. Investors appear to be betting on the potential for the

Over the past couple of months, meme stocks have shown a sharp price increase. Some have risen in price several times despite the overall fall in the stock market caused by the release of data on rising inflation in the U.S. Retail investors massively bought shares of low-liquid companies, which led to a 2x-3x increase
It’s indisputable that electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) is eyeing the Saudi Arabian automotive market as a potential revenue source.

C3.ai (NYSE:AI) has pulled back in recent weeks, but it’s fair to say that the market remains bullish on AI stock. Shares in this provider of enterprise artificial intelligence software bolted higher during January.

When it comes to dividend investing, knowing which dividend stocks to sell can be more important than knowing which dividend stocks to buy. Buying stocks for income/yield can oftentimes be like trying to pick up pennies in front of a steamroller. Given how stocks bought primarily for their dividend can tank upon news of a dividend cut/suspension,
Many institutional and retail investors and traders often embrace fads for relatively short amounts of time. In other words, many entities will buy stocks within a “hot” category for six months to a year. Then they will rapidly sell the same equities as the Street becomes less enamored with the sector. In just the last
No matter how bad the situation gets with Exela Technologies (NASDAQ:XELA) stock, some enterprising financial traders might hope for a miraculous recovery. As the old saying goes however, hope isn’t a viable investment strategy. Sure, Exela is trying a few tactics, but the company’s financial problems have become unmanageable. Exela Technologies might sound like a high-conviction
Lately, a lack of news has been good news for investors in Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock, which plunged during late February and early March. This was primarily because of the electric vehicle maker’s release of disappointing quarterly results and guidance. However, since the middle of this month, LCID has found support, with the stock bouncing
The conversation surrounding which dividend stocks to buy and which to avoid centers on a wobbly economy. The failures of banks including Silvergate Capital (NYSE:SI), Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ:SIVB), and Signature Bank (NASDAQ:SBNY) sent shockwaves rippling through the financial system. As a result, the potential for a financial crisis a-la 2008/2009 remains high. The FDIC has stepped in, and things appear calm, for
Could First Republic Bank (NYSE:FRC) stock end up in penny stock territory? This question might have seemed absurd just a few months ago. Yet, First Republic Bank’s investors should now consider the urgent warnings of several experts on Wall Street.

It’s been a bumpy ride for investors of China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) over the past year.

With this in mind, it may be best to lower your exposure to the top retail stocks to sell. With the Federal Reserve intending to continue raising interest rates, in order to bring
The recent banking crisis has pushed Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) to new multi-year lows. At current prices, BAC stock hasn’t been this cheap since late 2020. Compared to this leading financial institution’s forecasted 2023 earnings ($3.45 per share), as well as its book value ($30.61 per share), I can see why many contrarian investors are
Peruse the Internet for investment guidance and you’re likely to hear the adage that you shouldn’t consider stocks to sell when faced with volatility. Rather, you should buy up assets and securities when there’s blood on the streets. To be honest, it sounds bold and daring and something that alpha males do. However, blind adherence
The impressive rallies of a number of top meme stocks in recent years have long since faded. Since the meme names’ rally in 2021, this group of highly volatile stocks has underperformed the stock market to a significant degree. That said, these stocks still periodically deliver short-term rallies that make them appealing to traders. Importantly,

Prospective investors should seriously consider whether Disney shares are actually a good value. The days of Disney easily defeating its competition
Generally, I dislike writing about the worst stocks to buy now (or similar themes) because it invariably offends members of the internet defense league. It’s not the greatest experience to receive a flood of messages from people defending the honor of corporations who could care less about them. However, in this case, I’m game. Recently,
Despite the current frenzy surrounding artificial intelligence, it continues to be early days for the technology. Leading engineers and programmers behind AI applications caution that chatbots and other technologies remain in their infancy and that we’ve only scratched the surface of what artificial intelligence is likely to accomplish in the future.

In 2022, investors discovered that Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ:GOOG,) stock wasn’t impervious to macroeconomic challenges. It was a tough year for Alphabet, and 2023 might not be any easier for the company.
