Full disclosure: In my Innovation Investor portfolio — which is aimed at investing in the most innovative, disruptive technology companies that are fundamentally changing the way the world works, with the goal of achieving 2X, 5X, even 10X returns — we own Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock. But I’ve been putting some serious thought into a very big
Stocks to buy
While a lot of stocks are expensive, many were beaten down this spring and look very affordable as we head into summer. The rotation out of technology growth stocks, dubbed the “tech wreck on Wall Street,” and market volatility have pushed down the share price of many well-performing stocks, presenting some great cheap stocks to
Digital banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) completed its SPAC merger with Social Capital Hedosophia Corp today, meaning that SoFi — which formerly traded under the ticker symbol ‘IPOE’ — is now officially a public company trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SOFI.” Wall Street cheered the news, and sent SOFI stock up more than
For an individual portfolio, the key objective is to beat inflation. At the same time, the target should be to consistently beat the index. If an investor is unable to beat the index, it makes sense to invest in the index. Without having growth stocks in the portfolio, it might be impossible to beat the
One of the key plays right now in the market is the so-called “re-opening” stocks. A lot of the stocks hated by investors last year due to the pandemic have now become compelling investment opportunities. One such company is Carnival (NYSE:CCL). The company has seen a remarkable recovery in its stock from the lows of
Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) saw its shares hit all-time highs early this year. With a series of missteps behind it, consumers buying more EVs in China, and its factories churning out record numbers of vehicles, Nio was on fire.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) has had an excellent 2021 and investors are enjoying the growth of the company.

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,
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.

We may be on the verge of heavy deal-making among media stocks. AT&T’s proposed spin-off of its WarnerMedia unit, via a reverse merger with Discovery Networks (NASDAQ:DISCA, NASDAQ:DISCB), could be largely about the telecom giant unwinding a failed diversification effort. But, it could signal something else that’s brewing among the more “old school” media companies:

Investors in the live-sports streaming platform FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock have had a volatile 2021. Year-to-date, FUBO is down about 25% to near $20.

The continuing sell-off of high-growth speculative stocks has been rough for investors. However, a subsector that seems to be holding on to its gains quite well is the crypto-currency industry and its associated miners. Marathon (NASDAQ: MARA) is one such company.
