If big, boring banks aren’t worried about the rise of Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ:HOOD), they ought to be.

A term popularized by legendary investor Peter Lynch, these stocks are innovators with the potential to grow exponentially. Indeed, 10x stocks are market disrupters and innovators. And they create products people love.  Today, I’m on the hunt

Social media stocks will continue to attract attention because of two critical factors: the 2024 election cycle and this year’s $251 billion market opportunity. I take every forecast with a pinch of salt — however, an estimated 7.30% annual growth rate in total revenue (CAGR 2022-2027) is anticipated, translating into a projected market volume of

Finding game-changing stocks in today’s relatively overvalued and volatile market isn’t as straightforward as it was when initial rate cuts drove top stocks to rock bottom prices. While many quickly point to tech stocks as the main wealth-unlocking stocks in today’s economy, forward-thinking investors recognize the importance of diversifying across industries, geographic locations, size, scale,

Palantir (NYSE:PLTR) stock has been a subject of fascination and debate for retail and institutional investors.

It’s no secret AMC (NYSE:AMC) stock is not doing well right now. It’s down 47% year-to-date (YTD) and 93% in the last 12 months. Now, AMC is down 94% in the past five years. Its stock declined after Q1 results were released last week. This happened despite it exceeding consensus estimates for revenue, adjusted EBITDA,

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has yet to make its move in artificial intelligence and Apple stock is suffering for it. Shares were $165 before its most recent earnings announcement. Those numbers weren’t great. Sales and net income were both down slightly. A $110 billion buyback and a 25 cent/share dividend, the stock still rose, trading above $183.
