Penny stocks can be likened to the crazy world of cryptocurrencies where multibagger returns come at the blink of an eye. As an example, Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) stock was trading at $2.5 in March 2020. In a euphoric rally that followed, TLRY stock peaked out at $63.9 in February 2021. More recently, Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT) stock

Most of the companies that have achieved the latter milestone have had strong, growing businesses, excellent balance sheets, and sound fundamentals during most or all of the last 50 years.

Equities markets have been through some turbulent weeks. The S&P500 and Nasdaq are only returning 10.0% and 26.8% since the start of the year. For context, in September, these indices returned around 34.1% and 17.6%, respectively, which speaks to the volatility markets have experienced recently. This has led to stocks to sell.

Bank stocks have danced to a relatively volatile rhythm over the past year, with market downturns and growing withdrawals having orchestrated a rather challenging environment. However, there’s more to the U.S. banking sector’s symphony than meets the eye. Despite facing a myriad of challenges, including slowing loan growth due to pricey borrowing, rising deposit costs,
It’s an understatement to say that Block (NYSE:SQ) stock has gotten clobbered in recent months.
