After a bruising 2022, how will electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) treat its loyal investors during the next 12 months? It’s hard to envision a strong bull case for LCID stock as there no clear positive catalysts. Lucid did raise capital recently, but it wasn’t “free money” by any means. Moreover, the automaker’s

Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) stock was a popular meme play during 2021, falling off the radar of the investing public as the “meme craze” came to a close. However, in recent months, MMAT stock has again been making headlines in both a bad way and, more recently, in a good way. In December, the materials technology company

Excitement over recent insider buying has cooled down, but there’s something else that may have some investors interested in SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock. SOFI has been affected by many factors, but the continued “student loan saga” has played a major role in the fintech stock’s slump over the past six months. This “saga” will come

To put it bluntly, Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) investors got the ground-and-pound treatment last year. It certainly didn’t help to lift anyone’s spirits when a notable stakeholder divested tens of thousands of shares of MMAT stock. On the other hand, it’s still a good idea to start a small position in Meta Materials. If all goes according

The S&P 500 generated a total return of -19.44% in 2022, its worst calendar-year performance since 2008. Not surprisingly, given that the energy sector was the only sector in positive territory this past year, up 59%, nine out of the 10 top stocks in 2022 were oil and gas-related businesses. Very early in the new year, investors

There’s no denying it: California-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) will have to prove its value to the shareholders in 2023. MULN stock could still have powerful upside potential, but financial traders must be nimble. In light of certain developments surrounding Mullen Automotive, it’s wise to time your entry point carefully. On one

In recent coverage of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL), I’ve taken a downbeat view on the tech giant’s near-term prospects. For instance, as I argued on Dec. 21, current economic headwinds, plus rising competition, could continue to impact the company’s growth, resulting in subpar returns for GOOG stock in 2023. That said, there’s a possible path Alphabet’s management

It’s no secret that investors of California-based neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) have struggled in 2022. Yet, now is a time to hold SOFI stock, not dump it. If you need a real confidence-booster, check out the insider buying activity and you’ll be convinced to stay in the trade with SoFi Technologies. Is it possible

After getting burned by the latest with the “student loan saga,” SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) investors have found a new reason to remain bullish on SOFI stock. That would be news of insider buying of the fintech firm’s shares, by CEO Anthony Noto. As InvestorPlace’s Eddie Pan reported last week, Noto has purchased $7.4 million worth

The last thing United Airlines (NASDAQ:UAL) stock needs now is controversy. However, it seems that the carrier is involved in a scandal that’s grabbing the headlines. Still, this probably won’t have a long-term negative impact on UAL stock. Indeed, the shares are worth a “B” rating because United Airlines offers an interesting clean-energy angle for

There’s no denying it: Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is, like many other technology names, out of favor on Wall Street. However, this isn’t a valid reason to give up on GOOG stock. Alphabet’s still a tech leader and innovator, and if you don’t take a share position now, you’ll probably regret

Although geopolitics and brewing ideological directives (such as initiatives to combat climate change) cloud the longer-term trajectory of hydrocarbons, the reality is that investors can reasonably have confidence in the top oil stock predictions for 2023. Essentially, the underlying resources offer a mixture of infrastructural support and high energy density. Therefore, getting rid of fossil

The markets faced a big shock because of the black swan event of the pandemic. As economies were crawling back to normalcy, the Russia-Ukraine war triggered fresh concerns for several sectors of the economy. The war catalyzed an increase in the list of battered stocks in 2022. With the Russia-Ukraine war, oil prices surged, translating

Last Wednesday, executives at Meta Materials (NASDAQ:MMAT) finalized a bizarre transaction. In a single stroke, they converted the firm’s entire listed block of preferred MMTLP shares into untradeable common stock of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons, Inc. At first glance, the transaction seems like moving cash from one pocket into another. Meta Materials maintains full control of

A growing number of stock market commentators are arguing that a big recovery for Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) will happen in the coming year. Yet while at first glance GOOG stock may seemingly have many of the ingredients in place to make such a comeback, it’s far from a given. Sure, despite all the doom and gloom

At long last, there are two pieces of positive news concerning California-based neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI). First of all, a high-level executive at the company reportedly purchased a very large number of SoFi Technologies shares. Furthermore, SoFi Technologies is working with Mastercard (NYSE:MA) to offer a buy now, pay later (BNPL) service. These developments suggest it’s

[embedded content] Let’s check in on a stock we haven’t mentioned in a while – Tesla (TSLA). We’ve been bearish on this one for a while. It was the first mover and, really, the only viable competitor in the EV space for years. But since its production ramp in 2019, a lot of competition has

Recently, I begged people not to invest in video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) yet. I suggested that GME stock needs to hit $20 before anyone should jump into the trade. Even after a post-earnings rally, I’m standing by the wait-for-$20 strategy as GameStop’s financials aren’t as stellar as some perma-bulls might assume. Don’t get me wrong

It’s not an exaggeration to say that Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) navigated rough economic waters in 2022. That’s good news for GOOG stock traders, however. You now have a prime opportunity to get exposure to a search-engine giant as well as a major competitor in cloud computing and cyber-defense. Even the most

Streaming stocks and the surrounding industry is learning what those of us on the printed web learned over 20 years ago. In a world of unlimited content, the limiting factor is time. The hope was that the cable packages of the past might be resurrected online, consumers paying just as much as they formerly did,
