The first half of May was anything but good for UWM Holdings (NYSE:UWMC). Better known as United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM), the wholesale lender of residential mortgages saw UWMC stock fall almost 25% earlier this month. Since then, it’s gained back all of its losses and then some. Source: Shutterstock Up over 40% since May 11,
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has had an excellent 2021 and investors are enjoying the growth of the company. AMD stock saw the biggest highs over the past year and was very close to hitting triple digits. The stock hit an all-time high of more than $99 in 2020. However, thanks to volatility the stock is far
I have decided to change my mind about Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) stock. I no longer think it’s so wildly overvalued. What changed my mind? The company’s latest quarterly results came out on May 26, showing that Snowflake is now generating free cash flow (FCF). As a result, I suspect that SNOW stock will continue to perform
Hydrogen fuel cell player Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) seems to have gotten its mojo back. At the time of writing, this company has taken out its high for the month, and has broken the $30 per share level for the first time since late-April. Indeed, all seems to be going well for investors in PLUG stock right now.

After investigating Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) further, I’ve found more reasons to be worried about PLTR stock. Despite the company’s large year-over-year (YOY) growth rates in the first quarter, there are signs that Palantir’s top-line expansion is stagnating. Its net losses rapidly increased on a YOY basis last quarter and in all of 2020. Source: Sundry Photography
In the last ten months or so, electric vehicle (EV) stocks have had quite a ride. In the second half of 2020 and the first six weeks of 2021, virtually the entire sector rallied tremendously. Then, from mid-February until mid-April, most EV stocks tumbled a great deal. Now, I believe the market is trying to
FuelCell Energy (NASDAQ:FCEL) peaked on the close of Feb. 9 when it reached $27.96. As of May 26, it was at $9.41. If you didn’t sell your FCEL stock shares in February, there was plenty of time to do so as it fell further. And if you’re still in it for some ridiculous reason, you
Thursday was an incredibly bullish day for wild stocks. The small-caps were strongest adding 3% in two days. The best example was the explosion in AMC (NYSE:AMC) up 35% Thursday alone. That tornado included most EV stocks like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Nio (NYSE:NIO) rose 2% and 3% respectively. You had to look hard to find

When Was the First Swap Agreement and Why Were Swaps Created? Swap agreements—derivative contracts by which the parties exchange cash flows or liabilities from two financial instruments—originated from agreements created in Great Britain in the 1970s to circumvent foreign exchange controls adopted by the British government. The first swaps were variations on currency swaps. The British government

Space tourism company Virgin Galactic (NYSE:SPCE) had its single best trading day on Monday, after its successful spaceflight test. Its oft-delayed test flight finally reached its pre-ordained altitude after its December attempt was cut short. As a result, analysts were quick to jump on Virgin’s bandwagon and have hiked its price targets by over 50%. However, it
Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) stock has surged by over 2,600% in the last year. This rally is not surprising, since Ocugen and Bharat Biotech have signed a deal to co-develop a novel-coronavirus vaccine candidate, Covaxin. However, it’s also worth noting that OCGN stock is well below its recent high of $18.80. Source: Shutterstock After a deep correction,
The meme stock phenomenon seemed like it was over and done with. But, as seen from the latest movement from GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock, it’s not over just yet. Looking to beat the so-called “smart money” at their own game once again, retail investors, such as those active on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets subreddit, are back in the
As most people spent the majority of 2020 stuck at home, many realized that they wanted to spruce up their surroundings. If they were going to spend so much time at home, why not take some of that extra free time from not commuting and add some upgrades into their homes. This created a strong
