Based on Qualcomm’s (NASDAQ:QCOM) recent price performance, it is clear that growing optimism is helping to counter more negative aspects to the QCOM stock story.

Even from its name, the metaverse seems like a science fiction dream come true. A world of infinite possibilities that anyone can plug into from the comfort of their own home.

Even if you have a bullish outlook on electric vehicle (EV) battery technology company QuantumScape (NYSE:QS), be careful.

As an investor in 2023, the relatively encouraging numbers might lure you into a false sense of security.

There’s good news and bad news in July to report for electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID). The optimists will choose to see the glass as half-full, but LCID stock is vulnerable to a near-term decline.

QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock has defied expectations by rallying to impressive levels in recent days. However, I’m not so sure that these higher stock prices mean that this is a battery stock that’s free and clear just yet. There’s certainly reason to have a bearish outlook on the company.

FOMO is carrying the day, week and month on Wall Street. And the rally is starting to spread beyond the tech sector. This means some blue-chip stocks are beginning to catch a bid.

Warren Buffett famously said that investors should be “fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” So with many on the Street starting to get greedy, as demonstrated by the market’s huge rallies in recent months, a case can be made that investors should start to become more fearful than they were
The hype surrounding meme stock investments has died down considerably from its 2021 heydey. We largely have 2022’s bear market to thank for that. Well, that and the decline in retail trading as things got back to normal following the coronavirus pandemic.

As I write this article, the S&P 500 is trading at its 52-week high.

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock has faced both negative and positive developments. A notable investment fund has sold its entire stake, but an analyst sees growth potential driven by expected box-office revenues. The theater chain continues to see outsized attention from meme-stock traders, leading to interest among retail investors. However, despite AMC’s apparent recovery, this meme
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained” is clearly the current mantra at Intel (NASDAQ:INTC). As you may have heard, the chip maker is making a big gamble on chip foundries.

China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) needs a positive catalyst – the sooner, the better. Otherwise, it will to be hard to justify the NIO stock rally that’s been in progress since early June.

The strength of growth stocks continues in 2023, with the Nasdaq 100 index approaching its previous high from November 2021.

If you’ll excuse the pandering to the SEO algorithm overlords, investors must start seriously considering the impact of interest rates on housing stocks to avoid. Basically, all eyes center on the Federal Reserve. While the June jobs report saw the headline employment print run lower than expected, certain nuanced details – such as declining unemployment
Recent months have brought struggle to many well-known, blue-chip stocks as the broader market has been lifted higher. This is disappointing, especially as many of the biggest under-performers are stocks that have traditionally been long-term winners for investors.

Holding Carvana (NYSE:CVNA) stock now is a dangerous proposition. Sure, it could go higher if there’s an epic short squeeze, but the hype fuel could run out anytime.
