Recently released macro economic data is indicating that the United States economy is heading for a “soft landing.” Specifically, according to the Department of Labor’s  Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) for July, “2.3%  of nonfarm payroll workers quit their jobs” last month, versus the high of 35 during the “Great Resignation.”   The “soft-landing”

With the warmer weather season coming to an end, I wanted to take a look back at some of the hottest summer stock winners of the last few months. While some stocks didn’t have the best quarter (thanks to earrings and a host of other blistering issues), many soared. In fact, let’s take a look

Following its recent earnings report, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock initially surged, but has since retreated. Despite the pullback, the overall story on this formerly speculative stock remains positive.

In fact,

The race to “net-zero” is getting a lot of press these days. Governments around the world are making pledges to have a net-zero world by 2050. Aside from the environmental impact, it’s expected to be big business. According to Oxford Economics, an advisory group, this is a $10.3 trillion opportunity. Hydrogen will play a significant

For all the hubbub about the legitimacy of crypto, stock in crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) stock is matching the market. Over the last year, the S&P 500 is up 8.5%. Coinbase stock is up 10.4%. On the other hand, COIN stock has been a wild ride, trading at $50 in mid-June and at $100 barely

Plenty of “hot stocks” from the 2020/2021 runaway bull market have bounced back in a big way so far in 2023, but few have done it to the extent Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) has year-to-date. As you may recall, at one point CVNA stock was changing hands for as little as $3.55 per share last December. Since

Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) is a speculative aviation stock that holds a $1.78 billion market cap, ranking 70th in the Aerospace & Defense sector. That’s relatively impressive, considering the company provides investors with negative earnings, zero revenue, and no profit margin. Of course, with plenty of speculative upside, the question is whether Archer Aviation has what

This helps to explain why the Oracle of Omaha’s portfolio is concentrated in only a handful of stocks. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Buffett’s biggest position, accounts for nearly half (46%) of his $354 billion investment

During the 2010s, Block (NASDAQ:SQ) stock benefitted as the company innovated itself to the top among America’s transaction processors.

It offered simple pricing, and a dongle that worked on a mobile phone. It

Investors are aware that the same pressures facing the automotive industry also affect the aviation industry.

Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) stock hit a peak early this month after announcing earnings, at over $46 per share. Since then, shares of Li are down 14%. Li stock bulls may be asking why. I offered some glib answers last week. China’s recovery is unstable. Many American investors fear its government. But there’s more going on under

Buying dividend stocks can be tricky. Oftentimes, stocks that pay exorbitantly high dividends have underlying financial problems, and their share price is languishing. The dividend is used as a carrot to keep shareholders hanging on in what is known as a “dividend trap.” This is a situation best avoided. That said, there are a number

Yiren Digital (NYSE:YRD) is up by nearly 75% year-to-date. Over the past twelve months, YRD stock has gained by more than 134%. With such a strong performance, many questions emerge.

From early to mid-August, shares in Facebook and Instagram parent Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) experienced a slight pullback in price.

Certainly, there are pros and cons to holding Mastercard (NYSE:MA) stock. The company’s dividend payments are minuscule.
