Three of the favorite words to meme-stock investors are “short-squeeze stocks.”  These are stocks where short sellers, betting for a fall in the company’s share price, are squeezed out of their short positions due to an unexpected, rapid increase in the share price.   The higher the short interest, the greater the potential short squeeze. As

Wendy’s is taking an ”always on” approach to breakfast advertising. Wendy’s Co. Shares of Wendy’s Co. slumped Thursday, after the burger chain reported fourth-quarter profit that disappointed Wall Street, amid higher cloud-computing costs, and provided a 2024 outlook that was below forecasts. The company also announced investments to boost growth, including $55 million in breakfast

Certain companies stand at the edge in the global markets, capitalizing on emerging trends with massive gains. From the relentless push for cutting-edge semiconductor technology to the burgeoning demand for renewable energy resources and electric vehicles, investment opportunities are constantly shifting. In the ongoing market backdrop, three companies hold a decisive moat. The first one

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway trimmed its holdings of Apple in the fourth quarter, while also selling out of a previous stake in home builder D.R. Horton, according to regulatory filings.

However, you have to pick the right assets

Signs of distress at retailers Big Lots Inc., Express and the Children’s Place could spell more trouble for the reeling commercial-real-estate market, according to Barclays Research.

Now is a great time for investors to scoop up shares in lithium stocks. The spot price of lithium carbonate and spodumene seems to have hit the bottom. Prices are beginning to return to the upside.

When Lyft Inc. put out its earnings release Tuesday afternoon, the ride-hailing platform forecast a gain this year in an adjusted profit metric. But during the company’s earnings call later in the day, management issued a correction, saying that increase was, in fact, smaller than what it said the first time around. Shares, in the

From a quantitative standpoint, shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) are a strong sell. The company scores an F in the MarketMasterAI stock-picking system, and my most recent February algorithm update only gives NVDA stock 3.5% upside over the next six months. Companies historically sell off after enormous run-ups, and Nvidia’s 400% rise since 2021 lands it

One fund focused on the defense sector — the SPDR S&P Aerospace &

Life is getting more complicated for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Elon Musk as the TSLA stock forecast gets hazier by the day.  Once the darling of the Magnificent Seven, if the stock price keeps up its poor performance throughout 2024 ( it’s down more than 20% year-to-date) it could be kicked out of the prestigious club. 

Dear Quentin, My in-laws helped my wife and me purchase a home that we all live in, including my teenager. They provided $300,000, and we bought the home for just over $500,000. All four of us — my wife and I and my in-laws — are on the deed and the loan. I am currently

Midway through the current earnings reporting period, companies have been delivering results exceeding market expectations. As we forge ahead, now is the right time to discuss which stocks to watch this week.

U.S. oil futures stretched their gains into a sixth consecutive session on Monday, with prices settling at their highest for the month so far, while global benchmark Brent crude finished with a modest loss.

Quantum computing stocks represent the next frontier for computing and the potential for scientific breakthroughs. Due to the disruptive potential of these companies, I anticipate that there’s a solid chance for them to mint new millionaires. However, first people must make a substantial investment in them. This article will reveal these quantum computing stocks that

““I signed and was responsible for the Music Modernization Act for Taylor Swift and all other musical artists. Joe Biden didn’t do anything for Taylor, and never will. There’s no way she could endorse crooked Joe Biden, the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country, and be disloyal to the man

Technology stocks continue to lead the market higher. Especially companies associated with artificial intelligence (AI). So far in 2024, the technology-laden Nasdaq index is up 7%, building on last year’s 43% increase. In fact, it is nearing it all-time high. Despite the bull run, the current rally in technology stocks looks to have legs. With

The Federal Reserve’s pushback on expectations for interest-rate cuts over the past two weeks has investors closing watching inflation data and piling more cash into money-market funds. Investors stashed a record $6.48 trillion away in U.S. money-market funds through the end of January, with the balance growing as euphoria in December over a Fed policy

The trillion-dollar market valuation club is currently dominated by the tech sector. Saudi Aramco is the sole exception. The other six members are all part of the Nasdaq’s Magnificent Seven.
