2022 has been a rough ride for bank stocks. Recession fears continue to drag financial shares down, leading to significant buying opportunities. For instance, the Dow Jones U.S. Financial Services index has fallen more than 23% year-to-date (YTD). Similarly, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSEARCA:XLF) has declined around 23% in 2022.

Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB), a leading platform that enables hosts to offer stays and experiences to guests worldwide, has made a 1-month rally of 6.75%.

We’ve seen a chip favorite get demolished, as Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has not been able to fight off the selling pressure in the stock market. While Nvidia was hitting new highs in November 2021, the selloff eventually hit this name too. At its recent low, NVDA stock was down 55% from the highs. Does that make
Things are not looking good for Canadian e-commerce company Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock.

Headquartered in San Francisco, installment-payment broker Affirm (NASDAQ:AFRM) is also considered a specialist in the “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) niche market. As this market becomes increasingly crowded – and a famous tech company enters into the space – AFRM stock should be monitored but not owned. There’s nothing wrong with rooting for a small
How should interest rate changes affect your decision to refinance? That, of course, depends on the interest rate you are currently paying on your mortgage.
