Before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended our paradigm, financial advisors bemoaned that millennials and Generation Z were falling behind prior generations regarding achieving certain financial milestones. Suddenly, though, the public health crisis incentivized everyone to look to the market for wealth enhancement. Amid this baptism of fire, one trading tactic has been emblematic of this

Remarkably, the strange dynamic behind the novel coronavirus pandemic sparked an extraordinary rally in cryptocurrencies in the latter end of 2020, sparking a paradigm-shifting credibility boost for Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) and other cryptocurrencies. In theory, this should bolster Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN), basically a secondary market for digital assets. However, a quick look at COIN stock will

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock popped nearly 3% in early morning trading on Jul. 15. The leap came after the video-streaming leviathan solidified its plans to enter the video-game space.

Although Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) is one of the most intriguing names in business because of its remarkable ascent, I had reservations about the company when I last wrote about in April of this year. It wasn’t an easy article to write since I covered it when CPNG stock was a private equity play; thus, I had

I don’t think I’ve ever come across a negative opinion about Fisker (NYSE:FSR) founder Henrik Fisker. A legendary automotive designer – one that’s responsible for my personal favorite, the BMW (OTCMKTS:BMWYY) Z8 – Fisker’s design language is found in several iconic cars. Fortunately, it’s also emblematic in the upcoming Ocean SUV. Otherwise, I don’t think

The short-squeeze rally in meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is poised to go down in financial history books in terms of shareholder gains. However, a short squeeze is only a temporary phenomenon if the underlying business lacks solid fundamentals. This would be true even for GameStop and AMC if their sky-high

Covid-19’s disruptive influence wasn’t limited to publicly traded securities already trading on the market. The schedule for initial public offerings, or IPOs, was also thrown for a loop. However, a dramatic decrease in Covid cases set the stage for a rush of new stocks. To understand the dynamics of IPOs, I highly recommend reading books

One of the key questions in the Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN) growth story is: How does it compare to the historical McDonalds (NYSE:MCD) growth trajectory? And can it ever duplicate that growth?

Previously, I’ve taken a cautious view of FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock. The company, a combo streaming/sports betting play, appeared to be at a long-term disadvantage, due to the high competition from larger, deeper-pocketed rivals.

Short and fast, it was good while it lasted. That’s what the tombstone for the so-called “inflation trade” should read because, folks, it is dead. Once again, it’s time to look at strong growth stocks to buy, before they ride a wave of bullish macro sentiment higher. You heard that right. The great “value rotation”

For a brief moment in June, the Reddit trader army set its sights on Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN) stock. Chalk it up to an inside joke among r/WallStreetBets subreddit posters. Or perhaps a love of the fast food chain’s chicken sandwiches motivated the meme crowd. But, whatever the reason was, the short-lived rip, which took WEN stock
