Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR), a data analytics company, was one of the hottest stocks out there in early 2021. Due to excitement over the narrative surrounding it, investors bid up PLTR stock to unsustainable levels. The “meme stock” phenomenon may have played a role too in its big run-up last year. However, this is not for

I’ve been bearish on Sofi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) for many months. And, like most of my bearish picks in the last year, SOFI stock has indeed struggled. In fact, over the past one year, the name has tumbled a huge 50%. Source: rafapress / Shutterstock.com Now, with the company facing three relatively new hurdles and my

All of a sudden, Russian stocks and companies with exposure to the region are in danger of conflict-induced weaknesses. As soon as one war ends, it seems, the possibility of another one springs up. Just as the U.S. military left the Afghanistan theater of operations, tensions have come to a boiling point between Russia and

Peloton (NASDAQ:PTON) is making headlines again. This time it’s not a 21% single-day gain for PTON stock based on acquisition rumors. That was Monday. There are currently three big developments on the Peloton front. The company’s CEO is stepping down, while Peloton is also laying off a large chunk of its workforce and abandoning its

Digital World Acquisition Group (NASDAQ:DWAC) is likely to fall shortly after the SPAC (special purpose acquisition corp) merger with Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) closes. DWAC stock is at an exorbitantly high valuation, especially considering its potential earnings and dilution issues. Source: rafapress / Shutterstock This is way too high for a company that

In my most recent articles on Matterport (NASDAQ:MTTR), I’ve taken a bearish view on the stock. But I haven’t been bearish on MTTR stock primarily because of the firm’s prospects.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) has big plans to become a major player in the electric battery industry as it claims it is “building the best battery.” QS stock benefitted greatly as electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers exploded in popularity during the pandemic. But as lofty valuations return to earth, real questions about QuantumScape’s business have become a sore

In one sense, stock-trading app Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD) could hardly have timed its initial public offering better. HOOD stock went public on July 29 at $38 a share. Less than a week later, it hit an intraday high of $85 for a 124% gain. Source: OpturaDesign / Shutterstock.com Remember that this was a time of

Ocugen, Inc. (NASDAQ:OCGN) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company struggling to find a direction and a bottom in 2022 as the pandemic persists. Investors looking to buy OCGN stock have several tough questions to ask and need straightforward answers to evaluate its shares.

Oil and gas play Camber Energy (NYSEAMERICAN:CEI) has languished in the penny stock territory for a while now. After its price topped $4.85 per share last September, CEI stock has shed over 85% of its value. It is now back where it belongs, trading in the penny stock territory after the Reddit-fueled enthusiasm. Though penny

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has seen its picture go a little fuzzy lately. AMC stock was one of 2021’s unexpected winners as it rode an unprecedented wave of social media interest. However, the name has now declined 75% from its 52-week highs and is down by about 40% just over the past six weeks alone. Source:

Even after a 60%-plus drop in shares of digital payments company Block (NYSE:SQ) — formerly known as Square — SQ stock is still trading at very high valuations. And the company faces a number of challenges that make it an unappealing investment. Source: Sergei Elagin / Shutterstock.com In addition to stiff competition from PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL)

I recently wrote a bullish column on DoorDash (NYSE:DASH) stock, so I’m certainly not bearish on all delivery names. However, there are two very important differences between DASH stock and Grab Holdings (NASDAQ:GRAB) stock.

Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) was supposed to be one of Chamath Palihapitiya’s biggest special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) wins. When Palihapitiya announced plans to take Clover public, traders gravitated to the play as a natural fit. The idea? CLOV stock would upend the sleepy health insurance industry with a big dose of Silicon Valley expertise. Source:

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is rising after yet another strong quarter. The overall news was good for the company, which managed to exceed expectations on several fronts. That sent shares of AMZN stock more than 10% higher.  Source: Eric Broder Van Dyke / Shutterstock.com At the same time, though, the report was far from perfect. In fact,

At first glance, California-headquartered life-sciences company Bionano Genomics (NASDAQ:BNGO) might seem like a good business to invest in. After all, BNGO stock is cheap and that is what traders should look for, right?

Digital Turbine (NASDAQ:APPS) and its investors have been on quite a journey since the company listed as a penny stock in July 2006. I think it’s safe to say that APPS stock provides testimony that multi-baggers can occur from the most niche of domains. Source: Shutterstock However, the past is the past, and APPS stock

It’s been just over a year since traders on Reddit’s WallStreetBets incited the GameStop (NYSE:GME) trading frenzy and the term “meme stock” entered our lexicon. Early on, this retail army also set its sights on struggling movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC). An initial short squeeze in early 2021 took AMC stock from around $2

If you’re reading this, chances are, you’re not part of the 1% that handsomely benefitted from the prior housing and equities boom that capitalism created. Therefore, it’s difficult not to sympathize with the phenomenon known as meme stocks. There is a word in German that’s a favorite of mine to deploy from time to time:
