A Wealth of Common Sense’s Ben Carlson posted an interesting article on his site in early June highlighting how America’s piggy banks are full. Thanks to the pandemic, Americans are sitting on home equity of $31.79 trillion, up from $6 trillion in 2008, a compound annual growth rate of 11.03%. That’s a tremendous return over

Even with a small allocation, penny stocks can be game-changers for the portfolio. If the business grows and the markets like the overall narrative, 20x or 30x returns from penny stock ideas are not a big mountain to climb.

Since CEO Lisa Su’s Taiwan CompuTex keynote on June 3, stock in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has gone nowhere. CompuTex was supposed to be Su’s big homecoming. She was born in Tainan, once the island’s capital, and emigrated to the U.S. at age 2. But the company’s key AI demo crashed, live on stage.
Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock is rising because of rumor and conjecture. Don’t buy it. The electric vehicle manufacturer still has poor financials amid an ailing industry. With EVs likely to report lower growth this year than last year, there is little reason to expect Rivian to buck the trend. Although the EV stock is generating
Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) rallied alongside other meme stocks when Roaring Kitty returned to social media. The meme lord Keith Gill reiterated his support for GameStop (NYSE:GME) despite all signs a trade in the video game retailer will be a disaster.

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) has waned considerably, sinking from around $50 to just over $30 per share. Yet while the chip stock may be starting to hold steady, don’t assume that it’s time to “buy the dip.” More downside may be coming.
