Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) proves there’s a price that’s too high, even for a good company in a hot niche. I will admit that I was caught off guard.

It’s been a weird couple of weeks for some companies. Facebook changed its name to Meta (NASDAQ:FB), while Square (NYSE:SQ) changed its name to Block. In a separate although related note, Square’s CEO Jack Dorsey also announced he will step down as CEO of Twitter (NYSE:TWTR). When a stock is mired in poor performance, a

With much of the world citizenry sheltering in place, there was

The crypto market has sold off this month, fueling the debate about whether the bull run is coming to a halt. Industry leaders such as Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) have shed a fair share of their values in the past month.

With enterprise artificial intelligence software company C3.ai (NYSE:AI) adding impressive customers and growing its revenue at a fairly rapid pace, I continue to believe the company can become the “Microsoft of AI.” Just as Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) developed tools that made it easy for businesses to develop documents and perform complex calculations, C3.ai has created products

It may have been the hottest investing trend of 2021. But as the new year beckons, it’s tough to be bullish on meme stocks. With numerous uncertainties clouding the market, the top names in this category, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) and GameStop (NYSE:GME), have been trending lower in recent weeks. The same thing has happened for
