Following the speculative frenzy of 2020 and 2021, numerous penny stocks have lost their gains. Additionally, many former high-performers have also joined their ranks.

Almost all retailers have been using AI or machine learning in some form or another for years, but we’ve recently seen some of the top e-commerce stocks utilize the technology front and center to boost their offerings.

The biggest theme of 2023 is easily the emergence of artificial intelligence. It’s a little strange since AI in various forms, such as Alexa, has been around for years, but it’s really the development of ChatGPT that has put imaginations into motion.

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.
