Last week, I noted that short sellers were playing with fire by betting against GameStop (NYSE:GME). High call volumes and low short float meant the meme stock could quickly become a massive short squeeze. On Tuesday, GameStop shareholders scored another win: The company announced its first profit in two years. Shares in the videogame retailer

It’s no surprise that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has performed poorly as of late. This month’s banking crisis has considerably pressured financial stocks.

Is Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock on the cusp of a breakout, or just a fake out? It’s been rough going for Amazon’s loyal investors during the past year. However, the story of 2023 is still unfolding, and there are valid reasons to stay in the trade with Amazon. Not long ago, InvestorPlace contributor Bret Kenwell suggested that

It’s amazing how circumstances can change so quickly. SVB Financial Group (NASDAQ:SIVB) subsidiary Silicon Valley Bank is the poster child of bank failures, but the company’s story definitely isn’t over yet. At the same time, SIVB stock is about to lose its status as a listed asset on the Nasdaq exchange. Like it or not, bailouts

Is it time to load up on shares of Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL)? Not so fast! GOOG stock could easily lose value in 2023 as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) takes a powerful lead in the artificial intelligence arms race. There’s an antitrust lawsuit that continues to hang over Alphabet and it could drag on

After attempting to rebound earlier this year, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) shares have experienced another sharp price decline over the past month. Now trading for just over a dime, MULN stock is now more than ever in the stock market scrapyard. Yet while the market may have written off Mullen as an investment opportunity, Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT)

Should you invest in AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) this year? It’s a tough call, as the company is apparently preparing to increase the number of AMC stock shares in circulation, which could raise dilution concerns. AMC Entertainment is making progress on the financial front, though, so some risk-tolerant traders might consider a small, speculative share position. Ironically

Troika Media Group (NASDAQ:TRKA) is a penny stock that has garnered investor attention in the past month. During late February and early March, TRKA stock went “to the moon,” as they say. During this time, shares zoomed from 25 cents to 99 cents per share. However, much like how things usually play out for “flavor

For years, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was a darling on Wall Street. However, investors soured on technology stocks last year — and today, not every analyst favors AAPL stock.

Experts’ opinions shouldn’t be treated as gospel, but they can help investors make sense of the data that’s available.

When GameStop (NYSE:GME) reports earnings on March 21 after markets close, Wall Street expects a damp squib. Analysts anticipate revenues of only $2.18 billion, 3.2% less than last year’s figures. And net income should clock in at a -$48.5 million loss. Fewer new console games… a reduced store count… bad news from suppliers… we’re probably seeing

Amongst investors, sentiment for Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has clearly swung back to bearish. However, among the Wall Street analyst community, opinions on LCID stock differ. Sure, some sell-side analysts have downgraded the electric vehicle maker’s shares recently.

Shares of short squeeze stock Troika Media Group (NASDAQ:TRKA) collapsed 40% on March 7 after the firm released its latest financial report. It was bad. Although the firm posted a robust $187.9 million in revenues, earnings fell far short of even my most conservative estimates. Adjusted EBITDA barely reached $5 million in the six months

You might not be able to buy non-fungible tokens (NFTs) directly from your broker, but you can invest in some businesses that are involved in the NFT space. One of those businesses is Troika Media Group (NASDAQ:TRKA), which is deeply immersed in the digital-goods market. Yet, this hasn’t resulted in a sustained rally for TRKA stock,

To most investors, the term “funding secured” should be music to their ears. In 2018, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shares jumped 11% when CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he would take his firm private for a… high… $420 per share. And many businesses today owe their existence to their fundraising skills. According to Thomson Reuters, 31% of

After getting knocked significantly lower during 2022, shares in Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) have made a stunning comeback so far in 2023. Year-to-date, NVDA stock is up by around 78.5%, driven by the recent wave of “A.I. mania.” With Nvidia supplying the GPUs used to power OpenAI’s ChatGPT platform, investors are on the money for buying NVDA

After starting off the year with a big move higher, the latest wave of fear and uncertainty has knocked Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) lower in recent weeks. With this, like with other FAANG stocks, growth and value investors alike are once again calling a bottom with AMZN stock. On the surface, the argument some are making about

Last month, it appeared as though the market was warming back up to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock since it was trending higher. Largely, because of growing speculation that the electric vehicle maker would report strong production guidance in its then-upcoming quarterly earnings release on Feb. 28. But just ahead of earnings, shares moved lower. After
