I have been wrong on Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) thus far. I kept expecting the “Dogs of the Dow” theory to come into play, where underperforming, high-quality tech stocks would fetch a bid.

Many people enter retirement with the plan to relax — and that’s a normal, natural approach to this next phase of life — but they should maintain or even add to their skills after they’ve left the workforce.

Although special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, gained notoriety over the trailing year-and-a-half period, they do offer a clear advantage to retail investors. Without these blank-check firms, regular folks may not have a chance to buy names like Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) stock.

If the fund sells investments that have gone up in value since they were acquired, the resulting gains will be

As data from the U.S. Census Bureau confirms, the portion of retail transactions conducted via e-commerce channels has exploded. It only makes sense for financial requests to shift online too, bolstering the already-promising case for SOFI stock.

In its second concession with developers and regulators in less than a week, Apple Inc. late Wednesday said it will allow developers like Netflix Inc. and Spotify Technology to provide customers a link to create a paid account that sidesteps Apple’s in-app purchase commissions of up to 30%.

When I was younger, we had a saying on our vacations. “That was scary but not dangerous.” This meant it was fun. Right now, Carnival Corporation (NYSE:CCL) stock is both scary and dangerous.

Home builders and other construction companies increase spending in July, reflecting both higher demand and higher prices for materials.
