In November 2021, I made an outlandish effort to pick 5 cheap stocks that could double within a month. Few companies rise 100%, and even fewer can do it in the time it takes to properly pickle a cucumber. Nevertheless, my five-stock portfolio did land winners.

With a stressful year behind us, it’s time to buy undervalued stocks, including the seven bargain financial stocks we’ll discuss today.

The financial sector fared poorly in 2022. However, investors of California-headquartered neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) really took a beating last year. Does it make sense to short-sell SOFI stock, then? Some institutional-grade investors seem to think so, but that’s a risky bet as certain significant events are coming up soon. For folks who like to

The company still doesn’t have positive earnings, and Nio’s “prudent” warning about vehicle

Although the housing market soared through the first two years of the post-pandemic new normal, the challenge now is that the paradigm shifted, necessitating a discussion about real estate stocks to sell. Understandably, the topic of dumping publicly traded companies rarely sparks the warm and fuzzies. However, please note that this narrative centers on self-preservation.
While it’s always risky to go against the masses, certain short-squeeze stocks for contrarians to consider may perform surprisingly well. Invariably, even the collective sometimes gets things wrong. Certainly, if everyone bets on the same horse, the subsequent individual reward (if any) would be significantly limited. And that’s part of the reason why going against
