It’s all about the miles, sort of, with Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock popping 10% since yesterday on positive reports about its range. Source: ggTravelDiary / Shutterstock.com According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Lucid Air Dream edition can go 520 miles on one charge. That is 20% longer than Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), so that’s quite an

Will you invest with fear, or with guts and glory? That’s the billion-dollar question facing each and every Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) shareholder now as BABA stock continues to drift downward with no mercy.

If you are a contrarian investor, you may believe that Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROKU) has underperformed the broader market in 2021  and is now an investment opportunity. In 2021, ROKU stock is down nearly 6% compared to gains of about 18% for the S&P 500. Source: Michael Vi / Shutterstock.com Being a contrarian investor has

I’m all about finding the next big thing in the electric vehicle (EV) space to unseat Tesla (TSLA). Forget what’s big today. Capitalism is defined by creative destruction. Nothing lasts forever in an economy where we are all incentivized to always go bigger, do better, and be stronger. Just look at a list of the

I’ve been a fan of financial technology stocks for a long while. Up until recently the choices were a few, and pretty much limited to Visa (NYSE:V), MasterCard (NYSE:MA) or American Express (NYSE:AXP). During the last few years, two worthy competitors entered the arena: PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) and Square (NYSE:SQ). Even more recently, more companies like

There’s no getting around it: it’s all about that $15 resistance level for folks who own Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) shares. Frustratingly, OCGN stock bumped its head against that price point in February, and then again in May.

Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) is a firm focused on urban air mobility. Bulls liken it to a combination of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Uber (NYSE:UBER) with the added bonus of using the atmosphere to avoid ground-based traffic congestion and terrain-induced obstacles. On paper, JOBY stock should be soaring given this appealing concept. Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com However,

The last story I wrote on Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) covered the company’s difficult, but largely successful transition to cloud computing from the traditional on-premise software business. The results have been mixed for ORCL stock so far. I last said, “So in order to adopt to the new technology standard, ORCL simply added cloud to the end

If you only look at the share-price performance of Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG), you might assume that the hydrogen fuel cell market was doomed. Yet, appearances can be deceiving with PLUG stock and the future of the clean-energy automotive-tech market.

The story of Hippo Holdings (NYSE:HIPO) stock had an inauspicious beginning. The homeowners insurance provider emerged from a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) deal that soured in the eleventh hour. Now, investors are wondering if HIPO stock is worth a buy.

The last time I wrote about ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) stock was in August. Source: sdx15 / Shutterstock.com I suggested that WISH stock wasn’t worth more than a couple of bucks. On the bright side, I did say becoming a logistics and fulfillment business was a smart move. However, its pivot is a risky one and might

Let’s be honest: some traders haven’t been too impressed with Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) in 2021. They were probably expecting MU stock to continue climbing like it did during the first quarter of the year, but it simply didn’t work out that way.

Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) has been a pioneer in bringing streaming content to television (TV) sets. Yet after soaring more than 140% in 2020 and reaching a record high of $490.76 in July 2021, ROKU stock has also seen wild swings in 2021.

Earlier this year, investors piled into economic reopening and travel stock names. This made sense. The media was playing up the “Roaring 20s” narrative as it was hoped that rapid vaccination rates and a surging economy would lead to a summer of vacations, partying, and pent-up enthusiasm. Ashford Hospitality Trust (NYSE:AHT) stock was one such

GameStop (NYSE:GME) remains very popular with the Reddit crowd. GME stock is currently the fourth-most commented stock on the WallStreetBets subreddit.

Compared to other social media stocks, Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) stock is a bit of an oddball. I personally don’t have much use for the platform, but I can see the appeal … somewhat. After all, we could all use a daily dose of inspiration for shopping, relaxing, business and marketing purposes. Still, I’m not the only one

If you told me that Gamestop (NYSE:GME) would be flattish after its earnings, I would not have believed you. GME stock rose just 0.2% on Thursday after reporting its second quarter on Sept. 8. After the last two reports, things got a bit too exciting, so I expected fireworks this time. Instead, investors shrugged their

Blackberry (NYSE:BB), the automotive embedded software company, produced positive free cash flow (FCF) of $74 million last fiscal year ending May 31. But its fiscal Q1 showed a loss of $35 million in FCF. This didn’t do anything to help BB stock. If fell from a near-term peak of $15.88 on June 3 (before the June
