Reading Time: 3 minutes Over the past few weeks, the theme in the stock market has been a selloff in the tech sector. Several high-fliers from 2020 and early this year have taken a beating. While many buzzworthy tech names seemed to be overvalued, they didn’t look like they would experience a pullback…that is, until they did. Perhaps the […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes It’s no secret that investors love tech stocks. After all, the most exciting innovation takes place in tech. (When’s the last time an exciting innovation in supply chain management caused a stock price to spike?) Of course, innovation often leads to growth. And growth… well, it makes shareholders money. No company has tapped into the […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Solar stocks have been some of the hottest opportunities on the market. Look at SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) for example. Over the last few weeks, the SEDG stock price jumped from a Nov. 2020 low of $220 to a recent high of $326.66. From here, the stock could potentially see higher highs on a few big […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Recent stock split announcements by Apple and Tesla have lit a fire under the companies’ share prices. I suspect that many investors scooping up the shares are not aware of exactly how the splits will work. I am curious about how new-to-the-stock market investors will react when they discover that post-split their holdings are not […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Since the late 90s there has been one constant in the semiconductor world. I knew that anytime I looked at a chart of Intel (INTC), I could also pull up a chart of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)…and it would be priced below Intel. As the rental car ad says, I don’t know if they were […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes In a year of unpredictable market action, perhaps the most eye-opening moves are occurring in electric vehicle (EV) stocks. EV companies like TSLA are all the rage right now. Just about any stock that has some relationship to electric vehicles sees a ton of action (in the stock and the options). Just look at what […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes Before the pandemic, the U.S. was already on a path to becoming a cashless society. Each year, more and more Americans come to rely solely on credit cards or smartphones to make payments. But, there is always that one place: the small store that is “cash only,” the gas station that charges less if you […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes The White House has put forth a preliminary proposal for an infrastructure bill that could add fuel to the fire the Federal Reserve is stoking in the stock market. Stocks like Apple (AAPL), already trading at all-time highs, should get an additional boost from spending. Under the $1 trillion plan, some of the money will […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Despite a global pandemic and worldwide civil unrest, stocks have mostly gone up. The exuberance of investors is impressive, if perhaps misplaced. It certainly remains to be seen if the gains can hold up when the expected second wave of COVID-19 hits in the fall. Despite the large move in stocks (the Nasdaq just hit […]
Reading Time: 5 minutes The Great One took home the victory. And then, the Great Eight evened the score. An epic battle took place a few weeks ago between the greatest hockey player ever, and the upstartchasing his record. Fresh off of winning the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals, Alex Ovechkin took on Wayne Gretzky in a one-on-one […]
