After surging higher in late May, shares in video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) are holding steady at just over $120 per share. GME stock remains seemingly unsinkable right now. With the long side holding with diamond hands, and the short-side possibly getting carried away with their big bets against it, the “meme stock saga” continues. Yet

It’s the very end of the current earnings season, with only a couple of companies left to report financial results.

However, pessimism is growing for

Investors who look at Carnival (NYSE:CCL) on price alone could be tempted to buy given current levels. Even before yesterday’s 14% plunge, the shares were already off nearly 52% year-to-date and an even greater 66% since their pandemic peak in early June 2021, the timing is undoubtedly attractive.  For comparison, the Defiance Hotel, Airline, and

For the week, the S&P 500, Dow and NASDAQ rallied 6.4%, 5.4% and 7.5% — a breath of fresh air following two straight weeks of

In the last two weeks, I’ve fielded a question often enough that it deserves its own write-up. This year, the oil trade has been extremely popular. And up until recently, it has been profitable for the bulls. But last week, their party suffered a serious setback. Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY), for example, abruptly fell 25%. Today,

A few of the components are holding up okay, but Meta (NASDAQ:META), Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and AMZN stock are all badly underperforming the Nasdaq. Unfortunately for Amazon, it’s not sitting in a good place. Inflation

Is Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) going to be acquired? Not yet. But rumors persist that Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) is looking to buy the manufacturer of internet-connected television sets and other devices.

I was racking my brain for a subject to write about regarding FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) and FUBO stock when it occurred to me that the company’s May 31 announcement of three executive appointments was a big deal. How so, you ask? Well, if you read InvestorPlace contributor Dana Blankenhorn’s recent piece about losing money betting on

In a bear market, not all blue-chip stocks live up to their name. Investors need to identify the blue-chip stocks to avoid in their long-term portfolio. Otherwise, those stocks could lead to bigger losses as the selling pressure intensifies.
