Regardless of how TSLA stock is performing at any given time, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk remains a highly controversial figure.

After declining throughout October, PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) stock jolted higher at the start of this month. The bump was thanks to a well-received quarterly earnings release.

In October, I warned investors that flying car firm EHang (NASDAQ:EH) had an order book that looked suspiciously weak: During the most recent quarter, EHang delivered just five units, down from 11 in the previous quarter.

There’s no denying that Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is favored among investors in 2023.

Some people believe that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock will always grind higher and that they should buy immediately all dips.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), despite its name change and metaverse focus, is primarily a social media and AI powerhouse.
