When investors hear the words “electric vehicles,” they most often think of Tesla (TSLA) — and rightly so: the TSLA stock price is up 635% over the past year and 485% year-to-date.It’s up about 6,600% since it came public! The TSLA stock price is up even more because the latest earnings report was stellar. As […]
There was great news this week about the novel coronavirus vaccine being developed by Pfizer (PFE) and Germany’s BioNTech (BNTX). The vaccine has been found to be more than 90% effective, and, if approved, it will be the first vaccine ever that uses novel mRNA technology. These results (although early and not independently vetted) far […]
It was just last week when I told you that Intel’s deal to sell its loss-making NAND flash memory unit was the beginning of a move toward greater consolidation in the semiconductor industry.

On October 20, the struggling chipmaker Intel (INTC) announced it would sell its money-losing NAND flash memory business to South Korea’s SK Hynix for $9 billion.

No matter who wins, there is little reason for economic optimism over the short term. The lack of a coordinated Federal response to the coronavirus […]
Shares of Enphase Energy Inc. (ENPH) have been incredibly explosive. Since the beginning of September the ENPH stock price ran from a low of $65 to an all-time high of $111.27. The stock has been thriving on two catalysts. One, investors believe a potential Joe Biden win and the potential for the Green New Deal […]
There is no doubt there is a conflict brewing between the United States and China. But I don’t expect this fight to play out on the battlefield. Instead, it brings to mind the Cold War between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. This new cold war has one major similarity with the old one: the […]
One look at Tesla’s (TSLA) stock in 2020 tells you that Wall Street loves electric vehicles (EVs). However, Tesla is not the entire EV market. There are other companies in the space that are just as exciting. A great way to invest in these other opportunities is through the use of a couple of special […]
Let’s say a successful coronavirus vaccine is created. Great, right? Yes, of course. But it turns out that is the easy part.
