Desperate times call for desperate measures. Indeed, yesterday, rumors broke that Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) may make a bid to acquire Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU). Ostensibly, a deal between the two makes no sense. Netflix is a streaming service provider. Roku is an aggregator platform of multiple streaming services. That’s not a synergistic match. But nonetheless, Roku stock popped

These six tech stocks are what insiders are buying now. That indicates they are very positive about the long-term prospects of the company. In addition, a number of these companies have recently instituted or upped their share buyback programs. These are both strong indications that insiders, including the board — who would have made the

These stocks signal a potential rise in prices. There is unusual call option activity in their shares, often associated with an upcoming higher price. This is a very simplistic and rough tool. A more accurate indication of value would be a fundamental analysis of the company’s finances. One example would be a falling inventory line

Once a problem confined to just one continent, Monkeypox is spreading and threatens to become a global issue. Since the United Kingdom first reported a confirmed Monkeypox case on May 7, many more cases have been reported in countries where the virus hasn’t been originally known to be present. Nearly 800 cases have been detected

Since late 2021, California-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has lost favor on Wall Street. Yet, a reduced share price is an opportunity to own a stake in a fast-growing EV startup. Lucid’s cars are known to be sleek, luxurious and powerful. Plus, they’re fast charging and have a comparatively long range per charge.

After months of being hammered lower, shares in Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock have been bouncing back. A calming down of stock market volatility has been a factor, but two other pieces of news also has helped to lift the stock. First, news of possible expansion into the U.S. Second, well-received May vehicle delivery

We have chosen six stocks that have price-to-earnings (P/E) significantly lower than 1ox that investors must not overlook now. The reason is that low P/E stocks, especially those at extremes, often tend to have a rebound in the stock price. One metric that we looked for in this list is those that have low forward

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB) has been obliterated, as have several other FAANG stocks. The 56% peak-to-trough decline for FB stock is surprisingly not the worst of the group, though. It’s slightly worse than Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has fallen 46%, but is ahead of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and its 77% beating. The point is pretty simple: FAANG names

These six consumer brand companies make the best buy and hold stocks to hold during an upcoming recession. This is due to their long-term value and quality earnings. As a result, investors in these stocks have a good chance of limiting the damage to their portfolios due to a recession. Moreover, once the market turns

Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has been on a roll over the past week, with TSLA stock gaining 16% through May 31. The electric vehicle (EV) maker’s fanatical retail investors are a big reason for the gains.  According to Bloomberg, retail investors bought more Tesla stock in May than in any month since August 2020. As of May

I’ve long argued that Quantumscape (NYSE:QS) stock remains the best choice equity investment in solid-state battery technology. That remains true. Investors have to understand that the ride will be bumpy and most do. As with any stock, fundamentals are of paramount importance. That’s where we’ll start in understanding QuantumScape.  Fundamentally Fine One of the most

I’ve reason to believe that the latest surge in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) stock is premature as the S&P 500 is still overvalued. It seemed as though we were headed for a bear market, but the S&P 500 slammed the brakes just as we were about to touch a 20% drawdown. Many

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) reported stellar revenue growth on May 25 for the quarter ending May 1. Revenue came in at $8.29 billion, up 46% from a year ago, and up 8% from the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2021. This included record revenue from its Data Center and Gaming Divisions. Moreover, its earnings came in higher, as

B.I.G. Buy. Innovate. Grow. That’s the declared strategy of Pennsylvania-based Vinco Ventures Inc (NASDAQ:BBIG). Unfortunately for shareholders, “BIG” does not describe BBIG stock’s performance in 2022. There have been highlights including a mid-January run that saw shares spike 122% in less than a week. However, the overall trend has been down. In the most recent

The market is beginning to turn the corner after a very uninspiring performance in most of the first half. Logic dictates that the rebound will likely be led by beaten-down sectors and stocks. On that count, pharma and biotech stocks are ideal candidates for a stronger recovery, given their underperformance relative to the broader market

GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is once again proving its detractors wrong. I’ve certainly been among those detractors. And I’ve been proven inaccurate in judging GameStop’s trajectory. Once its run seems to have reached an end, it surges back to life. Its volatility is unpredictable.  That’s positive news for retail investors as the company once again springs

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) shares have made a nice rally of nearly 10% in the past five days, outperforming the Nasdaq, which gained nearly 2% for the same period. The news behind this rally is the upcoming 20-for-1 stock split that will alter the stock price. Investors are very excited for this. Is this excitement justified? Is

Since last writing about it in early May, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has performed largely how I expect it to perform. That is, AMC stock has continued to slide down in price. It may not be yet down to a level that’s in line with the movie theater chain’s underlying fundamentals. However, it’s on the

Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) stock bounced higher after earnings beat estimates. It may have taken the rest of the tech sector with it. Zoom said it earned nearly $114 million and made 37 cents per share on revenue of $1.07 billion for the quarter ending in April, the first of its 2023 fiscal year. It projects

While the broader market and stocks in several major sectors, like tech, are in the red due to macro headwinds, energy stocks have been rallying this year. Improved demand following the reopening of global economies led to higher oil and gas prices. Also, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused supply disruptions and a further rise in
