ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC) should be a wildly profitable investment. It isn’t one. The best trade on this stock over the last year was a short.

As longtime readers know, I’m a huge electric vehicle (EV) stock bull. I’m 100% confident that electric vehicles will entirely replace gas-powered by cars by 2040, thanks to improving EV technology, falling battery costs, shifting consumer demand to eco-friendly products, and increasing supply of EVs. At this point, the EV Revolution is inevitable, and EV
In an equity valuation theory and practice, there are generally two valuation approaches: discounted cash flows (DCF) and comparables. The DCF Model The DCF model refers to a group of approaches that are also called “present value models.” These traditionally assume the value of an asset equals the present value of all future monetary benefits. This
Sales growth is nice but at some point, it has to translate into real profits or at least positive cash flow. Moreover, with a $37 billion market value, at some point investors will want to see something for their money. That’s the quandary Cloudflare (NASDAQ:NET) currently finds itself in following the release of its Q2

Many AT&T (NYSE:T) investors may wonder whether it’s time to cash out, as the company is anticipated to cut its dividends.

In addition, investors
Putting it simply, Vinco Ventures (NASDAQ:BBIG) is the kind of penny stock that’s a hard pass in normal market conditions. But, of course, what we have seen play out in the past year has been anything but normal. With phenomena like “meme stock madness,” rolling the dice on something like BBIG stock has become a
Investors seeking exposure to the Hong Kong stock market might consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
