The three EV stocks: Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), and Arrival (NASDAQ:ARVL), all have developed electric vehicles that end users have found highly appealing, and all three are effectively using technical innovations to enhance their EVs and manufacture them more efficiently.

Earlier this year, Sony Entertainment released God of War: Ragnarok, a masterpiece for the PlayStation 5. In it you play as Kratos, a god tasked (among other things) with killing another god with the power to foresee everything.

The 2023 Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock rally continues, thanks to the electric vehicle company’s latest quarterly earnings report.

Toyoda is the grandson of Toyota’s founder, and he’s

Today, few are holding out on Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) as a possible Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) in the making. As you may recall, the SPAC predecessor to LCID stock hit prices nearing $65 per share around two years ago, on expectations that this EV startup was going to be the ultimate Tesla killer. Since then, changing economic

The dust seems to be settling when it comes to Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN). Thus far in 2023, RIVN stock has moved down just 2%. In the eyes of investors, the worst may appear to be priced in.

As we get into earnings season, the investment calendars are starting to fill up. That has investors wondering what the hot stocks for tomorrow will be.

After a rough 2022, smart investors know when to make the most of an opportunity. Look no further than beaten-down fintech companies, for example. At the moment, there’s a growing need for contactless payment solutions. Plus, there’s rising demand for “Buy Now Pay Later” services. Leading BNPL provider Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ:AFRM), for example, is in focus

In 2018, one of my financial advisory clients asked me a point-blank question: “Do you think buying this house is a stupid investment?” He was clearly still troubled by his experience from the 2008 financial crisis — a period where the average American lost 42% of their homeowner equity.
