Canada-based cannabis companies have by-and-large had a rough past couple of years, but this has been especially the case for Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQ:ACB) stock. Issues with growth and profitability have weighed on ACB stock in a big way. Over the past five years, this cannabis stock has declined in price by over 99%. Yet while

Blue-chip stocks are considered a more conservative way to invest, relative to more speculative names like early-stage growth stocks or penny stocks. However, that doesn’t mean owning them offers a guaranteed path to solid returns. At any given time, there are stocks in the blue-chip category that are not worth owning, at all. In some cases,
The energy market is currently difficult to read, but finding energy stocks to sell is not challenging. On the one hand, investment banks are signaling that oil prices will increase for the remainder of 2023. Yet, on the other hand, the International Energy Agency recently adjusted its global oil demand forecast downward on macroeconomic headwinds. Despite those
August is a tough month for tech investors, particularly as many expected July’s climbing prices to continue. But the past few months may have been a bull trap, as stocks are falling back in a massive correction, shaking investors. The S&P 500 already fell 5% this month, with the prospect of more pain to come.
If any company is a darling on Wall Street in 2023, it’s definitely Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). Analysts scrambled to lift their ratings and price targets on NVDA stock after its spectacular rally this year. Now, a call for clear-minded thinking is needed as a major near-term event could shut the party down. There’s no disputing that Nvidia
So far this month, Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) has popped back on the radars of many investors. A big reason for this is several major developments directly related to MULN stock. These include announced progress with some of the early-stage electric vehicle maker’s growth efforts. A reverse-stock split, which will enable Mullen to keep its Nasdaq
With Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) shares slumping back to their 52-week low, plenty are curious whether LCID stock could soon make a comeback. This is due largely to LCID’s high short interest. In the eyes of risk-hungry traders, this factor points to an increased potential for a “short squeeze,” or a big run-up in shares caused
Whether you’re risk-inclined or not, Tilray Brands (NASDAQ:TLRY) isn’t a promising investment as a cannabis stock, let alone an alcohol play. The company has made some moves within the alcohol sector,which I’ll get to in a minute, but its core business continues to underperform. The company’s recent earnings reinforce the view that this is likely
Dividend stocks have become investors’ favorites in recent months. Tech turbulence and high-interest rates combined to make high-yield stocks an alternative to riskier equities while still beating the yield on fixed-income investments like treasuries. Unfortunately, many investors chase the bottom-line yield stat without looking too closely into the underlying company. Dividend stocks are usually seen
When a company issues a quarterly press release, typically it will put a positive spin on the company’s recent performance. That’s fine, but it means that investors should view Plug Power’s (NASDAQ:PLUG) latest earnings letter with a skeptical eye. After delving into the data, financial traders should seriously think about avoiding PLUG stock. The point
There is little doubt about the bull story for electric vehicles. With global penetration still at a low level, some of the best EV companies will continue to grow at a healthy pace. Given the bright outlook for the industry, competition has intensified in the last few years. This means there are some EV stocks
We’re back to the bear/bull seesaw in August, but bears seem to be winning. The market’s dropped sharply since the end of July, bringing more pain each day. Furthermore, signs point to much of the touted “soft landing” victory cries being premature. Total Federal public debt hit an all-time high at $31.46 trillion in May. Consumers are
With stocks with high exposure to the artificial intelligence mega-trend pulling back recently, now may be the time to make an exit from overvalued AI stocks. Since late last year, when the launch of OpenAI’s generative AI chatbot ChatGPT kicked off a massive move by big tech into this new digital frontier, investors responded by
Renewable energy trends may bode well for Bloom Energy (NYSE:BE) in theory, but as you can see from any BE stock chart, this has failed to translate into gains for investors. In fact, if you have owned shares in this producer of hydrogen fuel cell systems for power generation over the past year, you are
It wasn’t very long ago when QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock was flying high. The party didn’t last long, however, and some of QuantumScape’s investors are seeing red on their screens now. Unfortunately, I expect the shares to lose more value in the coming weeks. It may be discourteous to call electric vehicle battery technology specialist QuantumScape a
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) stock gets more and more complex by the year, as does the rest of the electric vehicle market. Despite its remarkable growth, investors have much to anticipate in the coming years. In 2022, EVs represented under 10% of total U.S. car sales, leaving substantial growth potential, with 48% of Q1 2023 revenue from
WeWork (NYSE:WE), a workspace leasing company, was a buzz worthy “unicorn” startup business in 2021. That was a while ago, but WE stock still rallies sharply sometimes. Take a closer look at WeWork, however, and you’ll see why financial traders should be wary of this volatile stock. Even if a company looks like it might go
If you are a public equities investor betting on the digital economy, semiconductor stocks would have to be in your portfolio. Semiconductors are tiny electronic devices powering everything from our smartphones and personal computers to cars and commercial airplanes. If you take any run-of-the-mill semiconductor exchange-traded fund (ETF), say, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:SOXX), many
I’ll start by noting that I’m by no means a critic of the cryptocurrency market in general – although some cryptos I believe investors should sell. The promise of decentralizing authority connected to finance and money is as appealing to me as it’s ever been. The more one learns about traditional finance the more apparent
Adam Aron, the CEO of global movie-theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), cited the new Barbie movie in the company’s latest quarterly earnings report. I suppose we should have expected Aron to be enthused about Barbie‘s success. But will it be enough to bring AMC stock back to its former glory? Not likely. AMC Entertainment’s second-quarter results weren’t
