Is now the time to “buy the dip” in Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock? Not so fast! Earlier this year, the Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker seemed headed for disaster. But,a partnership deal with a Chinese municipality put bankruptcy concerns to rest. Add in the mania in EV stocks driven by Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), and this stock has

Genius Brands International (NASDAQ:GNUS) is down over 38% in the past month. In fact, since July 22, GNUS stock has dropped 46% from $1.93 to $1.04.

Back in June, Inovio (NASDAQ:INO) more than doubled in three sessions. The catalyst was the receipt of a $71 million contract from the U.S. Department of Defense. The move was all the more impressive given that INO stock had gained 364% in 2020 even before the announcement.

It’s quite hard—impossible, in fact—to forget that many of the initial news stories coming out of the novel coronavirus outbreak involved cruise ships. And they’re still waiting, at least in America, to set sail again: a hoped-for outcome slated for October. But that’s at the earliest and it doesn’t help that just a few days

Aurora Cannabis (NYSE:ACB) stock has been on a terrifying roller coaster since its 2018 debut on the New York Stock Exchange.

Though some sectors are slowly making a comeback from the novel coronavirus catastrophe, this optimism doesn’t apply to the oil market. Indeed, it’s hard to imagine if “black gold” will ever be the same. Certainly, prospects look particularly dim for embattled organizations like Occidental Petroleum (NYSE:OXY). On a year-to-date basis, OXY stock is down 72%,

Some companies have trouble written all over them. One such example is biopharmaceutical firm Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN). Even before the novel coronavirus upturned the world, OCGN stock was a struggling unit, with the issuing company facing bankruptcy. Overall, this fundamental assessment hasn’t changed. What has shifted, though, is the surrounding ecosystem. Source: Shutterstock As the Wall

With its whisper-quiet driving experience, environmentally friendly profile, and inherently superior reliability due to fewer moving parts, it’s no wonder why modern drivers have elected electric vehicles over their combustion-powered counterparts. But no matter how hard I try, I don’t have the same understanding for Electrameccanica Vehicles (NASDAQ:SOLO). SOLO stock is an example of the

As I write this, the day after Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL) emerged from Chapter 11, WLL stock is up more than 3,000%. But there’s a catch.

There is a lot of chatter on Wall Street right now about how tech stocks may be in a bubble, with many comparing the current surge in tech stocks to the dot-com bubble of 1999-2000. Broadly, I don’t think this chatter is warranted. We aren’t in a tech stock bubble, for two big reasons: 1.

The persistent trading of Luckin Coffee (OTCMKTS:LKNCY) shows some folks will buy anything. Luckin stock is destined to linger like unwanted nuclear waste.

Marathon Patent Group (NASDAQ:MARA) stock is one to avoid. At its inception in 2012 it was a patent company founded on a portfolio of three patents and one application. In August 2017 Marathon announced it intended to also pursue potential alternative businesses. Then, in November 2017, it acquired Global Bit Ventures, cementing its current direction

The race to develop a vaccine to fight the novel coronavirus is like any other competition. There are going to be winners and losers.

I pounded the table for Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) six years ago, when it named Dr. Lisa Su as CEO. I liked AMD stock at $20, and even $40. It’s a great company. She’s a great leader.

The steep decline of Inovio (NASDAQ:INO) stock is continuing. Earlier this year, Inovio electrified traders when it announced that it had a potential vaccine candidate for the novel coronavirus.
