Water is not usually thought of as an exciting or innovative industry. It’s a basic good typically sold at a fairly low cost. And, yet, investing in the best water stocks on today’s list just may change your mind. With economic troubles mounting, it’s not a great time to be taking risks. Water stocks are
As a sensible investor, the last thing you need is drama. Yet, there’s no shortage of it when it comes to electric vehicle (EV) startup Faraday Future (NASDAQ:FFIE) stock. The company is, as we’ll discover, in a capital-poor financial state. Granted, FFIE investors responded well when Faraday Future apparently managed to avoid a lawsuit from a

In December 2021, I chose Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) for InvestorPlace’s Best Stocks for 2022 contest. Since then, it’s been an unmitigated disaster. Shares are now 88% off the all-time high and Roku stock is down 75% in 2022. This is the complete opposite of “stock of the year.” I’ll be completely honest, I just didn’t see
Headline inflation numbers continue to run near their highest levels in 40 years. The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 more basis points in September.

Interestingly, much of the news surrounding global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) lately has nothing to do with films. Recently, AMC stock declined after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) revealed it wouldn’t ban payment for order flow (PFOF).

To investors bullish on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, the recent performance of its shares may seem irrational. In their view, the market is failing to factor in the potential tailwind stemming from the lifting of the student loan moratorium starting Jan. 1, 2023. After this happens, this fintech firm will supposedly benefit from a big
From 2009 to the late 2010s, Bitcoin’s lack of correlation with the broader economy proved a mixed blessing. It acted as a haven for investors interested in an asset class independent of the turmoil that afflicts stock markets.
