Stock Market

But with the very positive session across the board for major indexes on March 26, tech might be making a

I’ve been following Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) stock since not long after it joined the public markets. It’s been a bumpy ride.

Investing in a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC that has yet to announce its merger target is always a gamble. After all, you’re completely unaware of the type of business you’re investing in. Investing in such a scenario is a bet on the SPAC’s sponsor. Enter legendary investor and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman’s

Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) about even with its mid-September $240 initial public offering but it’s far below peak prices in the last six months. For example, SNOW stock closed at $325 a share on Nov. 30.

Castor Maritime (NASDAQ:CTRM) stock is fairly alluring. The company is a shipping operator that is aggressively growing its fleet.

I’ve been handed another assignment to cover a stock I’ve never heard of. Apparently, Gevo (NASDAQ:GEVO) specializes in next-generation zero-carbon-emission fuels for planes, trains and automobiles — I made that last part up because I love John Candy movies — and is a business I ought to know about. More importantly, GEVO stock is up more

I am often asked when one should sell stocks and get out of the market. Source: Sergii Gnatiuk/ShutterStock.com Longtime MoneyWire readers already know my answer. But let me remind you … If there is ever a time when you feel like giving up, selling your stocks, and waiting for the “bottom” in order to buy

Despite some warning signs that the market may be stretched, most traders don’t seem to care. In a way, they have justification for their bullishness. Thanks to the power of coordinated trading on social media and the easy access to equities that mobile trading apps like Robinhood provide, it’s never been easier to speculate on

The stock market has bounced around quite a bit this week, up on Monday, and then down on Tuesday, Wednesday and again today. The reality is the market continues to oscillate, which is why stocks will be up one day and then down the next. This is the oscillating market I have referred to several

Luckin Coffee (NASDAQ:LKNCY) just announced that it might exit bankruptcy if it can raise capital and secure an agreement to a new restructuring deal.

There aren’t many better growth stories in the market than The Trade Desk (NASDAQ:TTD). But the TTD stock price suggests investors have forgotten that fact.

There are often frequent comparisons between Penn National Gaming (NASDAQ:PENN) and Draftkings (NASDAQ:DKNG). However, the companies couldn’t be more different. Penn National owns or has interests in some 40 gaming properties across 19 states, under well-recognized brands such Hollywood Casino and Boomtown. Draftkings, on the other hand, has an app — and it’s a money-losing

GameStop (NYSE:GME) exists in a world of its own. Trading at nearly $200 per share, GME stock is valued at more than 10x what it was priced at to begin the year.

With Nokia (NYSE:NOK) stock down 39% from its January highs, many investors have started asking if it’s time to buy into the 5G revolution. 5G is clearly one of the biggest cycles of the decade, and Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) can’t single-handedly build out every Western 5G network. At the same time, Chinese telecom behemoth Huawei is

It is good news and bad news that those who invest in publicly traded stocks have access to early-stage, unprofitable companies like Romeo Power (NYSE:RMO).

A generation ago the Dow Jones Industrial Average was filled with stocks like United States Steel (NYSE:X) and O-I Glass (NYSE:OI), known then as Owens-Illinois.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) shareholders are discovering that it’s difficult to carry the weight of expectations. NIO stock is down about 11% in 2021. And for now, the bears appear to be in control. To be fair, Nio has been in a far worse situation. But this time investors expect more. And for Nio to reach the

The rise and proliferation of special purpose acquisition companies or SPACs may itself be in a bubble. Though SPACs have been around for a while, they’ve garnered tremendous popularity over the last several months.
