Will Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) demonstrate powerful growth in 2023? Anything is possible, but there isn’t strong evidence that MSFT stock will be a big winner this year.

Investors of neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) have suffered for a long time. They deserve a break, and it looks like 2023 will be a turnaround year for SOFI stock.

At the start of the year, I noted Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) as one of seven stocks about to get absolutely crushed. Put simply, this call on TSLA stock is cringe-inducing in hindsight.

As we look to round out a very busy week, investors are looking at the hot stocks for tomorrow, Friday, Feb. 3. “Busy” seems like an understatement when it comes to describing the last three days of this week.

Shares in Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) have rallied since the start of the year, but the GOOG stock rebound is losing momentum and could soon reverse course.

It might tempt some investors to go long on Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) now, as many think the company invincible.

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 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.

As we get into earnings season, the investment calendars are starting to fill up. That has investors wondering what the hot stocks for tomorrow will be.
