Progenity (NASDAQ:PROG) is a biotech firm focused on treatments and testing products for a variety of diseases. Historically, PROG stock has been a disappointment.

What was once a blip on the radar that many analysts viewed as a passing fad became one of the most consequential developments on Wall Street. I speak of course of the phenomenon that is meme stocks, loosely defined as publicly traded securities that have an incredible following on various social media platforms. But while

Earlier this year, trading shares of New York-based virtual content provider fuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) was a risky proposition.

First, there was the meme token known as Dogecoin (CCC:DOGE-USD). Then came Shiba Inu (CCC:SHIB-USD), which actually managed to overtake Dogecoin in popularity. Yet, there’s a third canine-themed coin, Floki Inu (CCC:FLOKI-USD), and I don’t recommend dismissing Floki Inu as an also-ran.

This is certainly one of the most intriguing markets we’ve seen in some time. Growth stocks are flying, as are valuations. Investors appear to be taking the “TINA” (there is no alternative) trade to the next level.

Gores Guggenheim (NASDAQ:GGPI) is the latest SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) stock to start revving its carbon-free engine.

GGPI shares are now trading at a roughly 7% premium to trust

Chinese ride-hailing giant DiDi Global (NYSE:DIDI) is well-known among financial traders in 2021, but that company has regulatory problems.

So long as investors are only buying growth, CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock should keep performing.

The market cap at that price is $65.22 billion. The expected

If you’re going to invest in a biotechnology company like Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA), don’t expect slow and steady returns. SAVA stock isn’t for the faint of heart, or the risk-averse.

I like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock. I don’t think a week goes by when there’s not an Amazon delivery coming to my house, and I know my neighbors seem to be just as eager to shop on Amazon than I do. The delivery drivers know our street like the back of their hands at this point.
