What was once a blip on the radar that many analysts viewed as a passing fad became one of the most consequential developments on Wall Street. I speak of course of the phenomenon that is meme stocks, loosely defined as publicly traded securities that have an incredible following on various social media platforms. But while

Just a year ago, Gamestop (NYSE:GME) was widely considered nothing more than an old-school, brick-and-mortar video-game retailer. As a result, there was not much interest in GME stock. Yet there was a groundswell of support for Gamestop which was growing quietly, on an Internet forum known as Reddit. A sub-forum on that site, r/WallStreetBets, was preparing

With cryptocurrencies posting blistering performances recently, those on the sidelines are increasingly tempted to jump in. At the same time, direct exposure to individual blockchain coins and tokens has its own set of risks outside of market volatility.

It was recently announced that Swedish electric car maker Polestar Performance AB will be going public via a merger with special purpose acquisition company Gores Guggenheim (NASDAQ:GGPI).

Earlier this year, trading shares of New York-based virtual content provider fuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) was a risky proposition. The price action of FUBO stock was like a roller-coaster ride, and not ideal for cautious investors.

After languishing below $20 per share since late June, SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) is coming back, including today’s post-earnings pop that took shares to just below $23. With SOFI stock up more than 40% in just over a month, it appears my take from Oct. 6 (that shares were a buy as they traded sideways) was the right

On Oct. 13, GitLab (NASDAQ:GTLB) had a successful IPO, with the stock priced at $77 per share. Now almost a month later, GTLB stock is now at $121.27.

In the last two months, Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock has witnessed a strong rally. This came after an extended period of correction and consolidation.

Gores Guggenheim (NASDAQ:GGPI) is the latest SPAC (Special Purpose Acquisition Company) stock to start revving its carbon-free engine. The blank check company completed its initial public offering (IPO) in March and announced its reverse merger with Electric Vehicle (EV) maker Polestar in September. GGPI shares are now trading at a roughly 7% premium to trust

Among the most disappointing initial public offerings (IPOs) of 2021, without a doubt, has been Chinese ride-hailing giant DiDi Global (NYSE:DIDI). Not long after DIDI stock debuted on the New York Stock Exchange, the share price declined and it hasn’t recovered yet.

So long as investors are only buying growth, CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) stock should keep performing. Source: VDB Photos / Shutterstock.com Even so, its market cap, which is more than 50 times revenue, is ridiculous. CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity company, opened for trade Nov. 9 at $285.68 share. The market cap at that price is $65.22 billion. The expected

In 2021, biopharmaceutical company Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) has been a paradise for well-timed, short-term traders. On the other hand, long-term OCGN stock investors have been through a virtual roller-coaster ride.

Swing traders could potentially profit (no guarantees, of course) from a simple rinse-and-repeat strategy.

Canadian marijuana producer and processor Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) made history in July 2018 when it became the first pure-play cannabis company to trade publicly on a major U.S. exchange. Just three months later, the Canadian government legalized marijuana for recreational purposes, in addition to the already legalized medical use. TLRY stock, which went public at $17

Shiba Inu (CCC:SHIB-USD) is in the headlines for mouthwatering gains in 2021. Social media influencers are becoming more active in voicing their opinions on volatile cryptocurrencies.

Although all eyes have been on the searing path that benchmark equity indices have blazed in 2021, initial public offerings (IPOs) have had their own impressive bull market. In fact, Reuters reported in mid-June that U.S. IPOs hit an annual record in less than six months. So if 2020 was the year of the novel

I first came in contact with Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock earlier this year and immediately knew it was something special. The underlying bullish thesis was clear, so I traded it successfully in the past few months. The easiest opportunities came when it fell in sympathy to other small-cap stocks.

When I last wrote about QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) in late September, I argued that if you could afford to lose it all, QS stock at $23.50 was in the buy zone. As I write this, it’s up 33% in the past month, trading above $30 for the first time since late June.  Source: Michael Vi /

If special purpose acquisition companies have jumped the shark, they may have done so with Digital World Acquisition (NASDAQ:DWAC). The so-called Trump special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), Digital World is the blank-check firm that will take the former president’s media firm Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) public.
