There’s no denying that Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) is still an e-commerce giant in China. Yet, at the same time, the current market sentiment isn’t particularly positive towards BABA stock.

I didn’t know there was such a thing as a pet care ecosystem but apparently it does exist. That is illustrated by Petco Health & Wellness (NASDAQ:WOOF) stock.

In my past articles on Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) stock, I’ve focused on the U.S. pot legalization angle. That’s mostly because federal legalization of cannabis would result in large gains by SNDL stock. But Congress’ statements suggest that this development may take a long time.

The investing world has certainly changed in recent decades. If I had proposed to my partners at my former firm in the 1990s that one day we could buy stock in a company that grows marijuana, I would have been fired on the spot. Canadian based Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) is just one of the many

To make a comparison to football, IBM (NYSE:IBM) is the Dallas Cowboys of technology. How do I mean? Well, both IBM and the Cowboys are overrated. They haven’t won a title in a quarter century and they’re not going to do it this year. Their system is stale, yet somehow they still have fans. All

Yesterday, Blue Origin flew Jeff Bezos more than 60 miles above the Earth to allow the billionaire to see the planet from space.

Zomedica (NYSEAMERICAN:ZOM) is the “meme stock” that just can’t take off.

Call me crazy, but I’m an ordinary investor who is always striving to do extraordinary things – to be the best possible version of myself in my daily life and my professional investing life.

Last month, I wrote about Square (NYSE:SQ) stock using a comparison with PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) and concluded it was way too cheap.

Investors are frequently advised to put their emotions aside when buying or selling stocks. However, I believe the problem with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is that too many investors are caught up in their “feels.” That’s the only explanation I can think of for the rollercoaster ride that’s been PLTR stock since its direct listing.  

Churchill Capital Corp IV (NYSE:CCIV) possibly marked the peak of the frenzy surrounding special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) this past year.

Before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended our paradigm, financial advisors bemoaned that millennials and Generation Z were falling behind prior generations regarding achieving certain financial milestones. Suddenly, though, the public health crisis incentivized everyone to look to the market for wealth enhancement. Amid this baptism of fire, one trading tactic has been emblematic of this

Remarkably, the strange dynamic behind the novel coronavirus pandemic sparked an extraordinary rally in cryptocurrencies in the latter end of 2020, sparking a paradigm-shifting credibility boost for Bitcoin (CCC:BTC-USD) and other cryptocurrencies. In theory, this should bolster Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN), basically a secondary market for digital assets. However, a quick look at COIN stock will

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock popped nearly 3% in early morning trading on Jul. 15. The leap came after the video-streaming leviathan solidified its plans to enter the video-game space.

Although Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) is one of the most intriguing names in business because of its remarkable ascent, I had reservations about the company when I last wrote about in April of this year.

My view of IBM (NYSE:IBM) stock is quite mixed right now. The tech giant’s cloud business has rebounded under its new CEO, Arvind Krishna, but my positive thesis on IBM stock has a second component: the strong management and sales skills of Jim Whitehurst, the former CEO of the highly successful start-up Red Hat.

The short-squeeze rally in meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is poised to go down in financial history books in terms of shareholder gains. However, a short squeeze is only a temporary phenomenon if the underlying business lacks solid fundamentals. This would be true even for GameStop and AMC if their sky-high

Covid-19’s disruptive influence wasn’t limited to publicly traded securities already trading on the market. The schedule for initial public offerings, or IPOs, was also thrown for a loop.

Previously, I’ve taken a cautious view of FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock. The company, a combo streaming/sports betting play, appeared to be at a long-term disadvantage, due to the high competition from larger, deeper-pocketed rivals.
