In early 2019, I made a really bold call that seemed totally counterintuitive at the time. I told investors to buy the dip in Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) after the streaming player’s stock had crashed in December 2018. Amid the collapse, most investors were running away from Roku. But I was running toward it. Specifically, I wrote:

When billionaire George Soros bought a stake in Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN), it may have marked an end to the downtrend. RIVN stock peaked at nearly $180 within days after its initial public offering. The stock poetically took a 180-degree turn to the downside next. Markets corrected for the electric vehicle bubble quickly amid stock market volatility.

With the rise of Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) and other streaming services, AMC (NYSE:AMC) stock has had a rough few years. The iconic movie theatre chain has still managed to stay afloat, though. But it’s not enough for them anymore as they continue down the path to financial irrelevance once again. Source: QualityHD / Shutterstock.com This is

Bionano (NASDAQ:BNGO) stock has tumbled, but it will come back big.

The broad-based selloff in the tech sector has battered several innovative startups. One such name is up-and-coming luxury electric vehicle (EV) company Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). LCID stock has shed 35% of its value over the past three months. Despite its impressive progress and incredible outlook ahead, investor enthusiasm remains at a low ebb. Hence, it’s

Based in California, Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) was able to capitalize on businesses’ shift to remote work in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, for awhile at least, ADBE stock was a darling on Wall Street. Source: r.classen / Shutterstock.com Somehow, though, Adobe lost its luster among investors in recent months. Indeed, late 2021 and early 2022

Headquartered in California, solid-state electric-vehicle (EV)  battery maker QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock is part of the electrification revolution of the 2020s.

It’s been a few days since Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) announced that it wouldn’t be proceeding with its acquisition to acquire Arm Limited. Instead, its owner, SoftBank Group (OTCMKTS:SFTBY), got to keep the $1.25 billion deposit Nvidia gave it as part of the sale agreement. Surprisingly, NVDA stock has not been affected by the news.

Despite suffering heavily due to the pandemic, the real estate industry was one of the quickest to pick back up. It has gone through a prolonged period of falling and stabilizing and then falling again, but the property prices are expected to start rising soon.

The demand for semiconductor chips is tremendous and growing, while the world’s largest chipmakers are rushing to dramatically increase their production. That makes Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) stock a great play here. Source: Shutterstock The company, which makes equipment used in semiconductor production, also has a lot of fans on Wall Street. Multiple analysts are very

Let’s be honest here. Facebook changed its name to Meta (NASDAQ:FB) and is betting everything on metaverse development because it has no other choice. Meta’s social media platforms are dying, especially the core Facebook app (which, for the first time ever, lost users last quarter). Its digital advertising business is disappearing, thanks to privacy law

Well it had to end sometime. The end of 2021 into 2022 was a brutal period for tech stocks. And it may not be a popular opinion, but many of these stocks needed to have their valuations trimmed. However, as is usually the case with market corrections there is always an overreaction. One of my

The housing market is on fire — and I believe the single best growth stock to buy for 10X potential gains in the 2020s is a disruptive housing stock. But more on that later. For now, just look at these housing numbers. Existing home sales hit 6.1 million homes sold last year, the highest mark

The performance of Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock was unimpressive for most of 2021. After a strong listing in September 2020, the stock gained almost 250% by January 2021. However, PLTR stock subsequently retreated on both macro and micro factors. It’s now down nearly 60% over the past 12 months. But is all hope lost for this

Social media stocks have taken a beating lately, and they have had a rocky start to 2022. Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) was once a pandemic darling, but the stock has been declining for the past few months. We spent hours on the social media app while in lockdown, but interest soon started to fade. PINS stock made

After the market’s latest round of volatility, it may not seem like the right time to get into Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) stocks. As inflation, rate hikes and other factors point to more rocky times ahead, some of the most popular stocks out there (many of which are great for first-time investors) could continue to make moves lower.

Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) post-earnings rally and fade is likely due to Nasdaq’s rising volatility.
