The most popular cryptocurrency is undoubtedly Bitcoin (BTC), but for a very low-priced alternative, many traders tend to prefer Ripple (XRP). It’s a crypto coin with plenty of trading volume, and Ripple is widely respected by individual investors and some banks.

The calendar says we’re about to change over from 2020 to 2021. Source: Shutterstock It’s about time. In many ways, this whole year feels like we’ve been in a time warp. So maybe it doesn’t sound so strange to say that the calendar could also show that we’re changing over from 1990 to 1991 —

The current year has been active for the initial public offering (IPO) market. As a matter of fact, three of the ten biggest technology IPOs have happened in fiscal year 2020. That said, this includes the December 2020 IPOs of DoorDash (NYSE:DASH) and Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB). And they are some of the best IPOs of 2020.
Data analytics firm Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) is one of the most fascinating tech companies on the market today.

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
Of the five so-called “Cloud Czars,” or tech companies that own their own cloud computing centers, the quietest is Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Microsoft stock.

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

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
