With the market just starting to recover, some overvalued tech stocks are starting to trade at a steep valuation.  Moreover, the latest rate hike is already causing some pain in the market, and we might not yet be at the bottom.

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.
