Heavily shorted meme stocks have become a major draw for speculators in the stock market. These stocks are characterized by their high volatility, popularity, and short interest by investors. The rise of these meme stocks has been fueled by the power of social media and its ability to influence the masses. These heavily shorted meme

In order for a free market to operate, investors must be willing to participate in both sides of the transaction, which brings us to the topic of the stocks to short this week. If you’re feeling optimistic about the pessimistic trajectory of embattled enterprises, this list may be for you. Still, consider yourself warned. Since the

When markets closed last month, it became official: Cathie Wood’s ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKK) had scored its best-returning month in its 9-year history. The 27.8% return in January was a welcome reversal for the struggling fund. The ETF had lost around 80% of its value since 2021. And it made some of Ms. Wood’s most

In recent articles on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), I have been bearish on SOFI stock, for numerous reasons. Most of these reasons are short-term in nature. For example, renewed worries about macroeconomic issues like inflation and interest rates could knock the stock back lower. Also, further headwinds related to the student loan repayment pause may also

After years of astounding gains, one might be led to assume that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock can’t possibly disappoint its investors. Yet, every company is vulnerable to macroeconomic issues, including Amazon. The past 12 months were painful for overeager Amazon shareholders, and unfortunately, the next year might not be much better. As the old saying goes,

From January, up until this week, it may have seemed as if Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) were emerging out of its recent slump. During this timeframe, GOOG stock rallied by more than 20%. Last month’s layoff news may have been a big reason for this, but renewed hopes that the tech giant is not falling

How much risk can you tolerate on a multi-year time frame? It’s time to conduct a gut-check, as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) is ambitious but not in an ideal capital position. Thus, RIVN stock could provide great wealth over the next five years, but investors should be cautious and maintain small position sizes.

Although the broad market rally set shares in motion, the emergence of takeover speculation is what really put LCID stock back into the fast lane. On Jan. 27, shares

The market’s high pessimism for TSLA stock at the start of the year seems to have shifted into high optimism. Hopes are that this electric vehicle (EV) maker can continue to thrive despite current economic challenges. Even as other growth stocks

Tech and crypto could dominate as the hot stocks for tomorrow. We’re still seeing the Federal Reserve and earnings control the headlines now. That’s as investors continue to fret about rate hikes from the Fed and a potential recession at some point this year. It’s also as the S&P 500 continues to “climb a wall

Apple’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) first-quarter fiscal 2023 results caught investors’ attention but not necessarily in a good way. The results were in the financial headlines because Apple posted an earnings miss, which is rare. Yet, AAPL stock should still gain value over the next few years and will likely reward loyal investors through the year 2025. For many

Tuesday was a volatile trading session following comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The market responded by ripping up and down and ultimately settling notably higher. Coming off that action, it has us looking at the hot stocks for tomorrow. We are still in the midst of earnings season. Just because big tech has

Much as I anticipated, the January rally for Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has given way to a pullback so far in February. Since the start of the month, NIO stock has fallen by back around 10%. Largely, due to the China-based electric vehicle (or EV) maker’s latest delivery numbers, which were underwhelming. Sure, it was not

The stock market is looking the best it has in weeks, and yet many investors are still nervous. That anxiety is justified, as we still have to technically finish the bear market we’re in. Earnings have been mixed, as have the economic reports. What should investors be watching as the hot stocks for tomorrow? We’re

Why should investors consider electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) now? It’s a tough question to answer as the automaker’s financial state doesn’t seem to be improving. Indeed, a recently enacted change in Rivian’s workforce should prompt skepticism in eager fans and shareholders of RIVN stock. Don’t misunderstand – Rivian is an ambitious company with sleek-looking

It certainly hasn’t been easy for investors of electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) to stay in the trade. QS stock has been volatile and will likely stay that way. However, you’ll be in the company of financial whales if you invest in QuantumScape, and you’ll also hold a stake in next-generation EV battery

Few companies are truly unique, but Luxembourg-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Arrival (NASDAQ:ARVL) is a one-of-a-kind business. If you can handle a high risk level, it might be worthwhile to hold a few shares of ARVL stock this year. You might get a moonshot, but there are reasons to envision a share-price drawdown due to Arrival’s

Will Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) demonstrate powerful growth in 2023? Anything is possible, but there isn’t strong evidence that MSFT stock will be a big winner this year. Both the recent financial data and Microsoft’s outlook for the future suggest that the company could disappoint hope-fueled investors. The outlook is uncertain as Microsoft plans to cut 10,000 jobs, roughly

At the start of the year, I noted Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) as one of seven stocks about to get absolutely crushed. Put simply, this call on TSLA stock is cringe-inducing in hindsight. Since this prediction dropped on Jan. 2, shares in the leading electric vehicle maker have gained by nearly 68%. In my defense, at the

Is Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) sensitive to the needs of its customers? That’s a pivotal question that investors ought to consider in 2023. Fortunately, Amazon’s latest foray into a niche healthcare market bodes well for the company. So, despite a number of concerns and headwinds, financial traders will likely fare well with investment in AMZN stock. The bigger
