If you’re looking to hop onto an emerging hyper-growth megatrend, you really need to check out 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD). Sure, there’s risk involved in owning DDD stock, but the long-term rewards could be spectacular.

Crude oil prices have risen sharply this year as demand increased significantly once global economies reopened. The United States Oil Fund (NYSEARCA:USO), which tracks Light Sweet Crude Oil, is up 48% in 2021.

There’s a kerfuffle going on right now with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) as they struggle to come to agreement on oil production levels for the remainder of this year.

Sometimes, I think about the days when shares of Chinese electric vehicle start-up Nio (NYSE:NIO) traded for $2.50 apiece. Undoubtedly, we all wish that we had a time machine, so that we could go back and load up on NIO stock when it was super-cheap.

It’s one of the biggest and most famous American banks. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) is a bona fide financial giant, and JPM stock has served investors well through thick and thin.

The pandemic has had a huge impact on consumer behavior, which has helped transform the housing market. Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) is expanding and moving towards acquiring more properties. OPEN stock has had a wild ride over the past year. The stock was trading for $11.57 on July 8, 2020, and hit an all time high
NIO (NYSE:NIO) stock has dropped roughly 14% over the past week, as fears related to a broader economic slowdown impede bullish sentiment on NIO stock. Just look around: pent-up consumer demand is tapering off and Covid-19 variants are causing sporadic lockdowns globally.

SoFi (NASDAQ:SOFI) hasn’t had a great month. Over the past 30 days, SOFI stock has tumbled about 30%. But that’s no reason to cower.

Big data analytics company Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) might be known for providing counter-terrorism-focused intelligence to U.S. government agencies. Yet, there are other angles for PLTR stock traders to consider. Source: Ascannio / Shutterstock.com For one thing, Palantir doesn’t exclusively work with the government.

Short-squeeze stocks are making headlines as the collective action of the Reddit community provides positive momentum for their share prices. However, many dive into these stocks without researching tangible data. Therefore, today’s article will discuss seven short-squeeze stocks as well as their fundamental metrics so that interested investors can make better informed decisions. Institutional investors
Mid-cap stocks are often overlooked. However, there are terrific dividend stocks in the mid-cap group that we think are worthy of consideration for income investors. In the world of investing, many investors focus on the biggest stocks in the market – so-called large caps – for their stability and predictability. This makes large-cap stocks generally
Increased concern over inflation and valuations have brought choppiness back to equity markets. As the stock market recovers from a volatile month of trading, investors have turned their attention towards more defensive stocks. For many market participants, dividend shares seem to be the most reasonable plays. High-yield dividend stocks are prized among income investors, as
Most investors who want to gain exposure to the financial sector focus exclusively on the well-known U.S. bank stocks, such as Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), and that goes for income investors as well.

Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is worth considerably more than its present price. In fact, my view is that it’s worth somewhere between 15% and 50% more from its Jul. 7 close.
