When Wish parent ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) stock had its IPO on Dec. 16, many expected shares to pop. Investors have been so starved for pandemic-proof investments that even weaker tech firms have managed 80% first-day gains. Imagine their surprise when Wish instead sagged 10% on opening day.

I know we haven’t flipped the calendar to 2021 yet, but I have a pretty good idea what the big story next year will be. Source: Shutterstock You probably do, too, if you think about it. The devastating pandemic has to be the story of 2020. And from it comes what has a good chance

Without a doubt, 2020 could easily be called the “year of electric vehicles.” Yet not all companies in this space have been treated equally. Hyliion (NYSE:HYLN), which is seeking to commercialize long-haul electric trucks, seems to get left out of the conversation as HYLN stock can’t get steady respect from traders.

I’ve been skeptical toward Landcadia Holdings II (NASDAQ:LCA) stock for some time now. Of late, the market has disagreed. Indeed, LCA stock has posted a nice rally since late October. It’s nearly doubled over that stretch, from under $12 to a current price over $23. Source: Stokkete/ShutterStock.com From a distance, there’s some logic to the

In a year filled with amazing revelations, Wall Street managed to steal some of the spotlight. Specifically, 2020 saw the rise in popularity of special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). These corporations look for budding opportunities. In the process, they bring private companies to Wall Street without the hassle of an IPO (more on that later). This

After its recent IPO, you can say DoorDash (NYSE:DASH) stock is turning into a case of Main Street bulls versus Wall Street bears. That is to say, many may be interested in buying the food delivery company’s shares, given its novel coronavirus tailwinds.

By now, most investors are probably inundated with information regarding special purpose acquisition companies or SPACs for short. I’ve mentioned this before and I’ll mention it again: I’m tired of writing about them. But Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp IV (NASDAQ:HCAC), which is scheduled to merge with electric vehicle firm Canoo, is worth examining. Yeah, HCAC

Too often, the burgeoning technology sector gets a bad rap for its disruptive tendencies. Most commonly, we hear tales of e-commerce firms displacing brick-and-mortar businesses. Typically, we don’t hear the other side of the coin, where companies like PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) leverage their innovative platforms for the greater good. This is one of the key, underappreciated

Cyberattacks are no longer the result of clicking on a rogue link in a suspicious email. Now they occur on a global scale, and they are the subject of coverage from all major news outlets. In

CIIG Merger Corp (NASDAQ:CIIC) will close its SPAC (special purpose acquisition company) merger with Arrival Group, a UK electric vehicle (EV) company, sometime in Q1 2021. CIIC stock has slowly been rising in anticipation of this event. I suspect it will continue to rise, like so many other EV stocks recently, especially those involved in

AMD’s (AMD) shares are hovering close to their all-time highs but the rally could still continue. Latest data reveals that the chipmaker’s supply chain partners registered strong sales growth in October and November. This suggests that AMD is en route to posting a strong set of Q4 results which, consequently, can catapult its shares to

If you’re keeping track of all the antitrust suits against Big Tech, you’ve had a busy month.

Investors in Boeing (NYSE:BA) stock have not had a good year in 2020. Year-to-date, BA stock is down about 32%. However, Boeing shares have recovered over 115% since the lows hit in early spring. A large part of these gains has come since early November and BA stock is up about 47% in the past six

If you’re getting tired of this year’s market phenomenon — the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) — you’re far from the only one. In fact, if it makes you feel any better, I’m tired of writing about it. But for the sake of thoroughness, we have to talk about CIIG Merger (NASDAQ:CIIC). Over the past few

I am lucky that I get to write about investing in Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) stock on the day after the FDA panel approves its Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use. I expected to be writing about a buying frenzy this morning, but it’s not so much. In fact Moderna stock fell after hours on the headline. Source:

On principle and devoid of any other context, Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX) offers a compelling concept. As a business conglomerate investing in the electric-vehicle (EV) and battery-charging markets (along with exposure to the raging hot blockchain sector), the organization is certainly relevant. But the main challenge for IDEX stock is that it’s a narrative play. Source: nrqemi
