Although special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, gained notoriety over the trailing year-and-a-half period, they do offer a clear advantage to retail investors. Without these blank-check firms, regular folks may not have a chance to buy names like Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) stock.

Online personal finance company SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is one of the most relevant offerings in the market today. As data from the U.S. Census Bureau confirms, the portion of retail transactions conducted via e-commerce channels has exploded.

A company’s financials are everything – or are they?

It’s no exaggeration to say that BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) is a completely different company than it was in the first decade of the 2000s. Prior to the Great Recession, it felt as if BB stock would just keep going up forever.

Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) stock has significant growth potential over the longer term, but the immediate future is a little less rosy.

You’ve seen electric cars. You’ve heard of self-driving cars. But where are the flying cars? Back in 1962, the futuristic cartoon show The Jetsons predicted that, by 2062, we’d all be driving around in flying cars. Well, we’re past the halfway point to that future, and already, the world has adopted many of the technologies

The meme stock wave that sent Senseonics (NYSEMKT:SENS) stock higher has come and gone. Yet so far, it hasn’t pulled back in the way other stocks popular with Reddit traders have done.

Over the next 20 years, electric vehicles are going to take over the world. We all know this. Every investor, analyst, and financial media personality understands the enormous disruption coming to the multi-trillion-dollar mobility industry – and they all see it as the “investment opportunity of a lifetime.” Make no mistake.

Earlier this year, General Electric (NYSE:GE) stock surged from a split-adjusted $50 per share to as much as $115.36 per share.

The shining momentum for ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) came and left in a hurry in June. Meme traders, where traders depicted stock buys with an image and a few words, lifted WISH stock. After ContextLogic posted results on August 12, any positive momentum all but evaporated. That is bad news for speculators, who thrive on trading volume.

One of the best things about being a hypergrowth investor is that I get to constantly study the world of tomorrow.
