With the disappointing performances of certain popular meme stocks lately, it might be time to reevaluate exposure to other internet community-driven trades.

I’ll be the first commentator to admit that video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) isn’t making money hand over fist. Yet, this admission doesn’t mean that betting against GME stock is a good idea. A few months ago, I even flipped bullish on GameStop. At that time, I dared adventurous traders to consider a long position. Source: Shutterstock

Presumably, most of us as children have had at least one experience where we joyously marveled at the concept of giveaway events, only to have our parents teach us that there’s no such thing as a free lunch: somebody always pays. Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) is an excellent reminder of this truism. While CLOV stock appeals

The second “meme stock” wave may be over. But who’s to say it’ll be the last one? Once the sell-off in stocks bid up aggressively in the last month ends, names like Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) stock could be worth the risk. Source: Shutterstock Why?

The last few months have been quite eventful for Chinese ride-sharing service Didi Global (NYSE:DIDI). In June, DIDI stock was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Zomedica (NYSEAMERICAN:ZOM) is the “meme stock” that just can’t take off. Despite constant prodding from Reddit and even some positive opinions from InvestorPlace, this pet health company remains in the penny stock dungeon.

It continues to be more of the same for Rocket Companies (NYSE:RKT). In the week ending July 16, mortgage rates fell for the third consecutive week. That downward move is counterintuitive to Rocket’s underlying business model. Many investors felt RKT stock would benefit from a strong housing market. However, shares of Rocket continue to move lower. Source: Lori

Last month, I wrote about Square (NYSE:SQ) stock using a comparison with PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) and concluded it was way too cheap.

Once upon a time, electric trucking company Hyliion (NYSE:HYLN) was a Wall Street darling. Investors were wowed by the company’s breakthrough renewable natural gas (RNG) technology as well as its potential to address the shortcomings of electric and hydrogen technology in long-haul trucking. From June to September 2020, HYLN stock soared from $10 to $55.

Investors are frequently advised to put their emotions aside when buying or selling stocks. However, I believe the problem with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is that too many investors are caught up in their “feels.” That’s the only explanation I can think of for the rollercoaster ride that’s been PLTR stock since its direct listing.  

Before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended our paradigm, financial advisors bemoaned that millennials and Generation Z were falling behind prior generations regarding achieving certain financial milestones. Suddenly, though, the public health crisis incentivized everyone to look to the market for wealth enhancement. Amid this baptism of fire, one trading tactic has been emblematic of this

Churchill Capital Corp IV (NYSE:CCIV) possibly marked the peak of the frenzy surrounding special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) this past year. However, CCIV stock has recently remained depressed after its significant fall from an all-time high of $64.86 in February. Source: gg5795 / Shutterstock.com To me, this does not come as a surprise.

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock popped nearly 3% in early morning trading on Jul. 15. The leap came after the video-streaming leviathan solidified its plans to enter the video-game space. Specifically, Netflix announced its pick for vice president of video game development, Mike Verdu — formerly of Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB). This is undoubtedly exciting

Elon, are you listening? Because Lucid Motors, currently known as Churchill Capital Corp IV (NYSE:CCIV), just opened fire. Lucid’s CEO Peter Rawlinson delivered a finely honed message during yesterday’s investor call: the EV newcomer is about to challenge Tesla’s (NASDAQ:TSLA) dominance in electric vehicles. And, you remember that exorbitantly rich valuation for CCIV stock I’ve

Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) has been a volatile stock since its initial public offering (IPO). Since going public in December 2020, ABNB stock has soared over $219 per share. But the stock has come down considerably since then. At the time of this writing, shares of Airbnb are trading hands for around $150. This is essentially right at

Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) stock has fallen back to around $9 per share. Should you buy this recent dip? It depends whether you are buying this on its fundamentals.

Vaxart (NASDAQ:VXRT) has been one of the most volatile names in the biotech sector in the last 12 months. One reason is that it’s still trying to participate in the Covid-19 vaccine race. Another is that VXRT stock has been adopted by the Reddit crowd.   Source: Photo courtesy of Vaxart, Inc. However, with the stock

Airlines were some of the hardest-hit companies during the pandemic, and that was reflected in tanking stocks. American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) may be the world’s largest airline, but it was no exception. In just over one month starting last February, AAL stock dropped 65%. With the pandemic effectively grounding flights, shares remained at depressed levels through

As I write this, Clover Health (NASDAQ:CLOV) is trading at $8.78 per share. But by the rumblings on the Reddit message boards, CLOV stock is about to go higher. Clover has been one of the “stonks” that are a part of the investing landscape in 2021. Affectionately called the “apes,” this network of traders is ready to
