There was a time when investors used to avoid heavily shorted stocks. Building-up of short interest indicates a bearish view of the stock, translating into a sustained correction.

Dear Big Move, My fiancée and I agreed to buy a house that was more than what we expected to pay, but we both liked it. We agreed that I would make the mortgage payments, and she would pay the taxes every year. When we bought the house, we decided to pay the taxes separately
Hydrogen is positioned to play a fundamental role in the global energy transition. It provides a pathway for decarbonizing “hard-to-electrify” sectors such as aviation, shipping, and heavy industry, where battery alternatives remain impractical. Fuel cell markets directly linked to hydrogen adoption are rapidly expanding. According to Mordor Intelligence, the global fuel cell market, valued at
Cybersecurity is a fast-growing industry, so it can be intimidating to come to terms with cybersecurity stocks to sell for fear of making a wrong decision.

The outsized returns of the S&P 500 this year were driven by the returns of just a handful of stocks. Remove the so-called Magnificent 7 from the equation and the benchmark index’s performance was relatively flat. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, on the other hand, enjoyed a much more broad-based movement higher. This is what
Almost as predictable as the big jolly man himself, many on Wall Street are eagerly waiting for the so-called Santa Claus rally to further fuel stock-market gains that have already put investors in a holiday mood.

To qualify for this designation, a company must achieve at least 50 years of consecutive annual dividend growth.
When it comes to retail stocks, one area that investors should pay attention to is what they call “Organized Retail Crime,” or ORC for short. In 2023, retailers nationwide have been whining about the level of ORC in their stores. Financial blogger Barry Ritholtz, a very successful financial planner, discussed this subject in a mid-December
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear thus far in December. After making a relatively big move during November it continues its assent. As a result, this AI chip contender has hit a new 52-week high. To many, it may seem as if shares could keep rallying, with the stock re-hitting its
It’s a seasonal ritual that countless families enjoy — getting dressed in their holiday finest and heading off to see a local production of the “The Nutcracker,” that candy-coated ballet that celebrates all things Christmas. It’s also a ritual that’s critical to the bottom line of many dance companies, which depend on those solid “Nutcracker”
Wall Street analysts can get a bit optimistic with their price targets. So when I see calls for triple-digit upside, I take them with a grain of salt.

PayPal’s (NASDAQ:PYPL) investors have had a less-than-stellar year in 2023. Will 2024 be a turnaround year? Anything’s possible, but I don’t consider it a compelling value right now. If the bullish argument for PayPal stock is based on the company’s value proposition, that argument will quickly fall apart. As Bank of America analyst Jason Kupferberg points
The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6
