With all the talk centered on climate change and the proposed solution of the electrification of everything, it was easy to forget about hydrogen stocks.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) surprised many investors in 2023 with exceptional gains and financial reports to back them up. The company became a frontrunner in the artificial intelligence (AI) industry and still has plenty of runway left.  NVDA’s success brought more attention to other semiconductor stocks and firms that specialize in AI.

Three of the favorite words to meme-stock investors are “short-squeeze stocks.”  These are stocks where short sellers, betting for a fall in the company’s share price, are squeezed out of their short positions due to an unexpected, rapid increase in the share price.   The higher the short interest, the greater the potential short squeeze.
