Dear Quentin, My mother and stepfather just cosigned for a mortgage for my brother. My mom said their house is being used as collateral. If my brother can’t pay his mortgage, our mother will have to pay it for him, or the bank will take her house, right?  Also, what happens if my mother and

Nio (NYSE:NIO) has been on a rollercoaster ride in 2023, with massive price fluctuations seen in recent months. Naturally, investors may wonder whether Nio could generate exceptional returns like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDF) over the long-run. In my opinion, Nio certainly has considerable upside potential over the next 5-10 years. However, it also faces

PayPal Holdings (NASDAQ:PYPL) may tempt contrarian investors. Right now, PYPL stock trades for only 10.8 times earnings. A very low valuation, when compared to their competitors’ valuations.

A few weeks back, I wrote an (admittedly early) earnings preview for QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). I argued that while a post-earnings surge for QS stock was possible in theory, shares would not spike.
