Although the hedge fund business is merely an enclave of the financial markets, its activities provide valuable insights to market participants. Hedge fund trades fuel any investment analysis; however, they should be placed into perspective. For those unaware, hedge

There was a time when investors used to avoid heavily shorted stocks. Building-up of short interest indicates a bearish view of the stock, translating into a sustained correction. However, things changed in 2021 when retail investors targeted heavily shorted stocks in anticipation of a big short-squeeze rally. At least for some time, the results were

Cybersecurity is a fast-growing industry, so it can be intimidating to come to terms with cybersecurity stocks to sell for fear of making a wrong decision. As more people work from home and businesses switch to cloud-based platforms to better serve customers or harness the power of generative artificial intelligence, cybersecurity will become even more

Certain stocks begin to lose their luster in the ever-evolving world of stock investing, marked by businesses consistently impressing with powerful earnings, cutting-edge technologies, and growing customer bases. This shift positions stocks to sell before 2024, especially as they navigate and sometimes stumble in their corporate journey. Furthermore, The Federal Reserve’s inclination to cut interest

You should never buy or sell a stock simply because the share price has gone up or down. The price tells you nothing about the business. Too many investors sell a stock too early only to miss out on extraordinary gains to come. Or they buy a stock because it is rising only to see

Despite a strong economy and stock market rally, 2023 saw its fair share of bankruptcy filings. Notable companies ranging from pharmaceutical chain Rite Aid to former gig economy darling WeWork filed for Chapter 11 protection from their creditors over the past year. There was also the bankruptcy filing of American trucking company Yellow that seemed

While the topic of stocks to sell immediately generates controversy, it’s similar to the wacky off-season transactions that occur in baseball. At the end of the day, an organization must make the best decision to ramp up its chances of success. That means you can’t get too sentimental about your roster or in this case

PayPal‘s (NASDAQ:PYPL) investors have had a less-than-stellar year in 2023. Will 2024 be a turnaround year? Anything’s possible, but we’re assigning a “D” grade to PYPL stock and don’t consider it a compelling value right now. If the bullish argument for PayPal stock is based on the company’s value proposition, that argument will quickly fall apart.

InvestorPlace contributor Tomas Levani recently recommended Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) stock, along with two others, as the best flying stocks to own in December. There are more than three? With all the recent talk of an electric vehicle sales slowdown, it seems odd that investors would be interested in flying car companies. Yet they are, or I wouldn’t

For many investors, 2023 was a time to take risk off the table. However, the recent musings by Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell have investors going to sleep with visions of rate cuts dancing in their heads. If you’re looking to put some capital to work in the market, meme stocks could be a popular

When it comes to retail stocks, one area that investors should pay attention to is what they call “Organized Retail Crime,” or ORC for short.  In 2023, retailers nationwide have been whining about the level of ORC in their stores. Financial blogger Barry Ritholtz, a very successful financial planner, discussed this subject in a mid-December

Every sector has clear winners and losers, a reality that holds even in the dynamic realm of artificial intelligence (AI). With the release of groundbreaking technologies, including ChatGPT, earlier this year, AI has taken the market by storm. This surge has made it challenging to sift through the hype and identify stocks that offer sustainable

The New York Times published an article on December 11 about how Corporate America is testing the limits of its pricing power. I love the premise.  Here in Canada, where I live, the common refrain from the media and anti-poverty groups is to blame grocery stores for the high cost of goods. The federal government

Electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) had a challenging year in 2023. China’s uneven recovery from Covid-19, waning EV demand and fierce competition in the new-energy vehicle space created problems for Nio. Looking ahead to 2024, investors shouldn’t expect any miracles and NIO stock only deserves a less-than-stellar “D” grade. As you may recall, Nio posted a 4,556.7 million RMB

This wasn’t a blockbuster year for folks who invested in Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. The prospects for Lucid Group next year aren’t promising. The best grade we can give it is a “D” and we’re not recommending it for the new year. Lucid Group is testing its investors’ patience. Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro argued that Lucid is “two

The future of the U.S. economy appears to be optimistic. The Federal Reserve has signaled a potential shift towards interest rate cuts in the coming year, providing relief to American households grappling with high inflation. Additionally, the Biden administration’s hope for a “soft landing,” characterized by decreasing inflation without a significant increase in unemployment or

At first glance, electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) might sound like a great business to invest in. After all, QS stock moved higher in November and early December. Yet, caution is definitely advised as QuantumScape’s financial shortcomings can’t be ignored. Besides, as we’ll explain today, a prominent analyst firm published a low price

SmileDirectClub (OTCMKTS:SDCCQ) ceased operating on December 8 after it could not restructure through bankruptcy proceedings. The once high-flying provider of dental aligners was one of many at-risk companies entering the final quarter of 2023.  Do you remember all the articles pitting SmileDirect against industry leader Align Technology (NASDAQ:ALGN)? I sure do.  As recently as 2020,

Since the end of October, stocks have rallied tremendously, with the S&P 500 soaring 15% and the Russell 2000 jumping 21%. This huge rebound, brought about by greater confidence in the economy and less trepidation about interest rates, resulted in many drastically overvalued stocks. For long-term, risk-tolerant investors, the latter situation created a good opportunity.

As 2023 comes to a close, investors have warmed back up to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock, which has surged back to the low-$20s per share following a November tumble. There is not one set reason this EV play has experienced this latest surge in price. Developments and news that are both company-specific, and more macroeconomic
