Growth stocks had a rocky time in May, when concerns about inflation resulted in a temporary sell-off. Why did inflation chatter cause such a reaction? It’s not inflation per se that’s the worry. The possible raising of interest rates to combat inflation is the real concern. For now, the Federal Reserve is OK keeping rates

The SPAC train may have been derailed a bit by the sell-off in high-growth stocks, but that doesn’t mean every SPAC is a sell. Take SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) for instance.

Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) is down about 37% since I last wrote about it in March. That’s a bitter pill for bull-minded retail investors who remain committed to the company.

Hyliion (NYSE:HYLN) continues to hover around its debut price of around $10. And for investors it must be starting to feel like Groundhog’s Day. It certainly does to me. Every time I’m asked to take a position on HYLN stock, I feel the same way. Except, like many analysts and investors and Bill Murray in the

Stem (NYSE:STEM) stock has traded sideways, since the SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) merger that took it public closed in late April.

Workhorse’s (NASDAQ:WKHS) stock was up both Tuesday and Wednesday, but it really gained steam today. Today’s massive surge in WKHS stock is likely thanks to the current meme stock trading phenomenon.

Among the public market debuts that occurred over the past year or so, Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ:OPEN) may be among the most fortuitous. Initially, the novel coronavirus pandemic suggested that nothing related to real estate would be worthwhile, which of course clouded Opendoor. But because of the public health crisis, OPEN stock became one of the

On the surface, Asensus Surgical (NYSEAMERICAN:ASXC) stock looks like just another sputtering SPAC. Source: Dmytro Zinkevych / Shutterstock.com But it’s not a SPAC. This company came public as TransEnterix back in 2014. It raised $52 million for a robotic surgery system then called SurgiBot. This was a hot stock in 2018, rising as high as

Space tourism company Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) had its single best trading day on Monday, after its successful spaceflight test.

Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) stock has surged by over 2,600% in the last year.

The meme stock phenomenon seemed like it was over and done with. But, as seen from the latest movement from GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock, it’s not over just yet.
