In early April, prominent Wall St analysts predicted that oil prices could go beyond $100 per barrel as OPEC+ cut output while demand was supposed to surge due to China’s reopening.

But on the
Timing the market is a futile endeavor, but I’d wager plenty of investors are wishing they did just that with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock earlier this year.

It’s been a downhill ride for long-term investors of electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). However, LCID stock caught a bid recently because of a much-touted partnership with another automaker. This doesn’t change our “D” rating on the stock, however, as the collaboration isn’t enough to make Lucid Group a high-confidence pick. We’ve warned prospective investors
AI stocks may look as if they’re never slowing down, but that’s not true. OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, actively lobbied the European Union to impact upcoming AI regulations.

Knowing when to sell a stock can be as important as knowing when to buy it. This can be especially difficult with dividend stocks.

A pair of recent headlines with Nio (NYSE:NIO) have resulted in a moderately-sized rally for NIO stock.
