Today, few are holding out on Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) as a possible Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in the making.

Earlier this year, Sony Entertainment released God of War: Ragnarok, a masterpiece for the PlayStation 5. In it you play as Kratos, a god tasked (among other things) with killing another god with the power to foresee everything.

On Friday, Italian e-scooter firm Helbiz (NASDAQ:HLBZ) joined Genius Group (NYSEMKT:GNS) in cracking down on short sellers. “The recent underperformance of our shares compared to the market is a clear indication of the illegal short selling activities that have taken place,” said CEO Salvatore Palella in his strongly worded press release. “We will not tolerate

The dust seems to be settling when it comes to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Thus far in 2023, RIVN stock has moved down just 2%. In the eyes of investors, the worst may appear to be priced in.

On Tuesday, shares of Grom Social (NASDAQ:GROM) spiked 60% on a short squeeze. According to data from Fintel, short share availability dropped from 80,000 to 0 within several hours. At first glance, Grom Social’s rise looks much like a run-of-the-mill meme pump. The company had around 58% of its free float sold short at the

Did a rough 2022 make you afraid to invest in China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO)? Don’t be fearful, as NIO stock could turn a corner this year.

Without a doubt, Ark Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood has received criticism for sticking to her optimistic position in electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA).

With Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) once again making headlines, you may be “mulling” whether now’s the time to make MULN stock a buy.

After a rough 2022, smart investors know when to make the most of an opportunity. Look no further than beaten-down fintech companies, for example.

Leading BNPL provider Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ:AFRM), for example, is in focus

Could China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Kandi Technologies (NASDAQ:KNDI) be a hidden gem in your portfolio for the next three years?

In 2018, one of my financial advisory clients asked me a point-blank question: “Do you think buying this house is a stupid investment?” He was clearly still troubled by his experience from the 2008 financial crisis — a period where the average American lost 42% of their homeowner equity.

New Jersey-headquartered party supplies retailer Party City (NYSE:PRTY) has been in the headlines lately but not for reasons that investors would want to celebrate.

The carnage of META stock was considerable, though some investors may choose to stand by CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse-centered vision for the company. All things considered, however, it’s wise to stay out of the trade

Without a doubt, 2022 was a tough year for Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock. Will this year be any better?

The S&P 500 was trading up against resistance, as was the Nasdaq. But because it had resolved higher out of a multi-week consolidation window, bulls were feeling good about their prospects.
