Churchill Capital Corp IV (NYSE:CCIV) possibly marked the peak of the frenzy surrounding special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) this past year.

Before the novel coronavirus pandemic upended our paradigm, financial advisors bemoaned that millennials and Generation Z were falling behind prior generations regarding achieving certain financial milestones. Suddenly, though, the public health crisis incentivized everyone to look to the market for wealth enhancement. Amid this baptism of fire, one trading tactic has been emblematic of this

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) could reach $400 per share and have a $3 trillion market capitalization. This forecast for MSFT stock to rise over 41% is based on its huge free cash flow (FCF) and high FCF margins. Investors will get a better sense of this when Microsoft releases on July 27 its fiscal Q4 earnings ending

Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) stock popped nearly 3% in early morning trading on Jul. 15. The leap came after the video-streaming leviathan solidified its plans to enter the video-game space.

As I put it a few weeks back, it’s a matter of when, not if, the Reddit/short-seller standoff with AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock comes to an end. As seen from the “meme stock” favorite’s performance since publication of my last article on it, this “when” may have already started. Source: rblfmr/Shutterstock.com On July 1, the

Although Coupang (NYSE:CPNG) is one of the most intriguing names in business because of its remarkable ascent, I had reservations about the company when I last wrote about in April of this year.

My view of IBM (NYSE:IBM) stock is quite mixed right now. The tech giant’s cloud business has rebounded under its new CEO, Arvind Krishna, but my positive thesis on IBM stock has a second component: the strong management and sales skills of Jim Whitehurst, the former CEO of the highly successful start-up Red Hat.

Two days ago, the world changed forever. Following 17 grueling years of trial-and-error with some of the most advanced technology in the world, Richard Branson finally flew into space on Sunday, in what was the first successful commercial passenger spaceflight in human history. The billionaire entrepreneur took off in Virgin Galactic’s spaceship Sunday morning, flew

The short-squeeze rally in meme stocks like GameStop (NYSE:GME) and AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is poised to go down in financial history books in terms of shareholder gains. However, a short squeeze is only a temporary phenomenon if the underlying business lacks solid fundamentals. This would be true even for GameStop and AMC if their sky-high

Covid-19’s disruptive influence wasn’t limited to publicly traded securities already trading on the market. The schedule for initial public offerings, or IPOs, was also thrown for a loop. However, a dramatic decrease in Covid cases set the stage for a rush of new stocks. To understand the dynamics of IPOs, I highly recommend reading books

One of the key questions in the Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN) growth story is: How does it compare to the historical McDonalds (NYSE:MCD) growth trajectory? And can it ever duplicate that growth?

Previously, I’ve taken a cautious view of FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock. The company, a combo streaming/sports betting play, appeared to be at a long-term disadvantage, due to the high competition from larger, deeper-pocketed rivals.

Short and fast, it was good while it lasted. That’s what the tombstone for the so-called “inflation trade” should read because, folks, it is dead. Once again, it’s time to look at strong growth stocks to buy, before they ride a wave of bullish macro sentiment higher. You heard that right. The great “value rotation”

For a brief moment in June, the Reddit trader army set its sights on Wendy’s (NASDAQ:WEN) stock. Chalk it up to an inside joke among r/WallStreetBets subreddit posters. Or perhaps a love of the fast food chain’s chicken sandwiches motivated the meme crowd. But, whatever the reason was, the short-lived rip, which took WEN stock

Clean energy and software firm Stem (NYSE:STEM) bottomed at below $20 in the last month. Since that time, investors accumulated shares steadily.
