Meme-stock traders set their sights on Canadian cannabis company Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) earlier this year, driving SNDL stock to dizzying heights.

It’s the biggest cruising company, but it was leveraged toward growth before the crisis hit, and it’s even more leveraged

The results of soon to be released earnings reports for the major record labels loom. Some investors expect the share prices of these major music stocks — Warner Music Group (NASDAQ:WMG); Sony Music Entertainment, a part of Sony Corp (NYSE:SONY); and Universal Music Group, a part of Vivendi (OTCMKTS:VIVHY), which together dominate the recorded music

Over recent articles at InvestorPlace, I mentioned that the narrative for electric vehicles isn’t exactly as clear cut as previously thought. Though EVs may be the future, they’re still awfully expensive. As well, lack of infrastructure is a major challenge. Therefore, my general bullishness in Churchill Capital (NYSE:CCIV) seems contradictory. Wouldn’t CCIV stock succumb to

It’s fair to say that Inovio Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:INO) wasn’t the first or most famous entrant into the Covid-19 vaccine race. Nevertheless, there are reasons to be bullish on INO stock.

A meme stock with huge earnings and strong fundamentals? Pretty rare, right? Well, let me introduce you to UWM Holdings (NYSE:UWMC).

With so much enthusiasm baked into the equities sector, many investors undoubtedly feel that now is a time to consider a risk-off profile. Frankly, I agree with these folks. That said, we’re coming off the (hopefully) worst of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, others believe that the best days are still ahead of us. If

Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) is a poster child for the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) boom and bust of the past year. Nikola rose to prominence in 2020.

Workhorse (NASDAQ:NYSE) gained 5.3% today on word that the company is filing a legal challenge to USPS’s contract decision.

But this boost won’t undo February’s massive plummet, and it’s

In January, it was GameStop (NYSE:GME) leading the charge at the center of the Reddit rally. Now, AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is the front man, this time leading the so-called meme stock rally.

It wasn’t long before marijuana was considered a taboo. Emerging science, however, has altered customer perceptions and has paved a path for its legalization. As a result, the global legal marijuana market continues to expand at an impressive rate. Most recently, PSY (NYSEARCA:PSY), the first psychedelic stock ETF, hit the market.
