China’s retail sales and industrial output data for August were definitely encouraging. Retail sales grew 5.4% year-over-year (YOY) in August, while industrial production was up 4.2%.

Big-box retail chain Bed Bath & Beyond (NASDAQ:BBBY) has been the target of eager meme-stock traders. However, the company’s financials will matter soon, as Bed Bath & Beyond has scheduled an earnings report and conference call for Sept. 29. The company needs to prove its value proposition to BBBY stock investors, as it’s undergoing a CEO

Sometimes, it’s hard to know who or what to believe. Such is the case when it comes to the ongoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) probe into Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA). As the biopharmaceutical company contends with data-manipulation allegations, traders have to figure out what to do with SAVA stock. There may be evidence that the

It seems odd to be analyzing the best shipping stocks on a day when the second read of second quarter GDP should convince nearly any lingering skeptic that the U.S. economy is in a recession. Furthermore, that recession is likely to last well into 2023 and come with a much harder landing than the Federal

Dallas-headquartered telecommunications giant AT&T (NYSE:T) now has a deal with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This should help solidify AT&T’s status as a 5G leader. This also bodes well for T stock, which is ideal for value seekers and dividend collectors alike. When dollar inflation gets to a fever pitch, stubbornly staying in an all-cash position

Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN), a company based in Southern California that wants to make electric vehicles more accessible to consumers, has announced several important pieces of news lately. A couple of months ago, in March 2022, I had been very bearish on MULN stock. Is the recent news enough to start buying the shares of this

After the coronavirus pandemic, many penny stocks became bubbles due to the sudden increase in liquidity through stimulus packages and trillions in bailouts. The excitement in the market caused users of different platforms, mainly Reddit, to aggressively invest in risky penny stocks. Of course, the recent economic slowdown and inflation have caused most of those

Stock traders, mark your calendar for July 12. That’s when shareholders of San Francisco-headquartered neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) will vote on a potential reverse stock split. This event could prove to be a pivotal moment for the company, and for the future trajectory of SOFI stock. 2022 has been a tough year for banks, both

It goes without saying that 2022 has been brutal for growth stocks, but Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) is a name that in particular has been hard hit. Year-to-date, CVNA stock is down 88.5%. What’s behind this stunning plunge in price for shares in this automotive e-commerce company? Rising interest rates, and their impact on stock market valuations,

Today, I have chosen six stocks hedge funds love. To simplify this, I decided to pick the top three stocks of two of the most watched hedge funds that are the most popular in the market. One of those funds is Michael Burry’s Scion Asset Management. We use the company’s 13-F holdings report from the

Just when things couldn’t get any worse for Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD), a report from the United States House of Representatives Financial Services Committee shows that the retail brokerage had far less liquidity than it suggested at the height of the meme stock phenomena. In the aftermath of that announcement, HOOD stock dropped about 5%, throwing

The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the growth of several e-commerce players as consumers moved to online shopping channels amid lockdowns. However, with the reopening of the economy, spending has shifted back to brick-and-mortar stores and to experiences like travel. Further, high inflation and fears of a recession are impacting consumers’ purchasing power. That said, the long-term

It turns out investing in a vacuum can be a poor idea, even a really strong sounding one. But in today’s current market and as that relates to Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), investors may have a less challenging time cleaning up as profitable buyers in GOOG stock. Shopify (NYSE:SHOP), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Alphabet are

I have chosen six recession-proof stocks to buy as the market boom ends. They pay dividends, have low payout ratios, low price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples, and good growth. As a result, these stocks have a good chance of surviving the oncoming recession, if, indeed, we aren’t already in one. Investors will stick with stocks that can

Fed-up investors who dumped Alibaba Group (NYSE:BABA) stock in March will regret it. BABA stock bottomed at $73.28 in mid-March 2022. The following month, Premier Li Kequiang said it would pause its crackdown on the sector. The shift to promoting economic growth proved helpful to BABA stock. Shares are up by around 60% from the

Can electric vehicle maker Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) survive the current market downturn? The Newark, California-based company’s life as a public company has gotten off to a rocky start. The company went public in January 2021 via a reverse merger with a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC) at the height of that craze only to see its share price

Source: helloabc / Shutterstock.com A negative report recently came out, and it’s replete with allegations against Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO). Consequently, traders should avoid NIO stock for now, or at least not add to any existing positions. In recent weeks, things had really been looking up for Nio shareholders. After making a 52-week low, in

The last time I wrote about Snap (NYSE:SNAP) was in late May, just after it gave shareholders a lump of coal, warning that revenue and earnings would be lower than initially expected. SNAP stock lost 40% in five trading days on the news.  My take on the warning was that its financials weren’t nearly as

After surging higher in late May, shares in video-game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) are holding steady at just over $120 per share. GME stock remains seemingly unsinkable right now. With the long side holding with diamond hands, and the short-side possibly getting carried away with their big bets against it, the “meme stock saga” continues. Yet
