On Friday, Italian e-scooter firm Helbiz (NASDAQ:HLBZ) joined Genius Group (NYSEMKT:GNS) in cracking down on short sellers. “The recent underperformance of our shares compared to the market is a clear indication of the illegal short selling activities that have taken place,” said CEO Salvatore Palella in his strongly worded press release. “We will not tolerate

As we get into earnings season, the investment calendars are starting to fill up. That has investors wondering what the hot stocks for tomorrow will be. While it helps that the Federal Reserve has entered its blackout period, it doesn’t help that we will have a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in early February.

With Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) once again making headlines, you may be “mulling” whether now’s the time to make MULN stock a buy. Yet while this risky electric vehicle stock may at first glance seem worth adding to your portfolio as a small, speculative position, a closer look suggests otherwise. Sure, maybe you don’t have any

After a rough 2022, smart investors know when to make the most of an opportunity. Look no further than beaten-down fintech companies, for example. At the moment, there’s a growing need for contactless payment solutions. Plus, there’s rising demand for “Buy Now Pay Later” services. Leading BNPL provider Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ:AFRM), for example, is in focus

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI), like other speculative growth stocks, has rallied thanks to the latest signs that inflation is easing. In recent trading days, SOFI stock has climbed back out of “penny stock territory,” (under $5 per share). Shares could also continue to inch higher over the next two weeks or so, ahead of the fintech

Countless firms across America have begun to fire workers after two years of generally robust labor force growth. Firms had largely been reluctant to fire workers despite weaker-than-expected economic momentum in the first half of 2022 due to the difficulty of finding qualified workers, as the pandemic led to a decline in the labor force.

What will 2023 look like for California-headquartered neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI)? If you’re counting on a rapid recovery for SoFi Technologies, don’t hold your breath. SOFI stock is a buy but only for a tiny position as lower prices are probably on the horizon. Therefore, it’s wise to wait patiently and refrain from investing

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is implementing a big round of layoffs. This is, apparently, supposed to be a sign of Microsoft showing fiscal discipline. At the same time, the company is in talks to spend $10 billion on an an artificial intelligence chatbot. These developments should be a cause for concern among MSFT stock traders. Microsoft is facing

If any company could be considered the poster child of the Big Tech wreck of 2022, it’s Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META). The carnage of META stock was considerable, though some investors may choose to stand by CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse-centered vision for the company. All things considered, however, it’s wise to stay out of the trade

Without a doubt, 2022 was a tough year for Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock. Will this year be any better? It’s hard to be bullish about Amazon now, given the company’s vulnerability to a shaky macroeconomic environment. Before you assume that there’s a prime dip-buying opportunity here, take note of Amazon’s problems and challenges. Then, you’ll probably want to

The S&P 500 was trading up against resistance, as was the Nasdaq. But because it had resolved higher out of a multi-week consolidation window, bulls were feeling good about their prospects. It also has them looking at the hot stocks for tomorrow to see if they can find an edge. Unfortunately, neither index was able

Eventually, there may be compelling reasons to bet your hard-earned capital on solid-state lithium-metal battery manufacturer QuantumScape (NYSE:QS). Right now, however, QS stock gets a “D” rating due to the risks involved. The short squeeze potential shouldn’t appeal to sensible long-term investors. Besides, QuantumScape’s financial profile might improve someday, but it’s not particularly impressive right now.

The stock market has been enjoying a nice winning streak lately, as it continues to scratch and claw its way higher. Amid this tough market though, it’s got investors wondering what the hot stocks for tomorrow will be. Some days it’s an economic report. On other days, it’s an earnings result or investor meeting. For

Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) potential investment in an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot is a hot topic on Wall Street now. Yet, MSFT stock traders should consider the implications carefully before pressing the “buy” button. There’s also earnings season coming up, and it’s not a sure bet that Microsoft will hit a home run this time. During the days

Stocks of electric vehicle (EV) makers were battered in 2022. Chip shortages, supply chain bottlenecks, Covid-19-led disruptions in China and macro headwinds took a toll on the industry. Yet, the long-term prospects for EV companies remain attractive due to growing consumer interest, favorable regulation and tax credits to boost EV adoption. Strategic research provider BloombergNEF

Are you ready to spin the wheel and take a chance on Bally’s (NYSE:BALY)? Not so fast, as BALY stock could continue to lose value in 2023. A turnaround in macroeconomic conditions would certainly help Bally’s recover from its slump. Yet, the company’s fiscal figures should set off some alarm bells for cautious investors. Don’t get

Invariably, with the Federal Reserve forced into the unenviable task of taking away the monetary punch bowl, certain stocks to avoid would come up based on mass layoffs. Effectively, the earlier response to the coronavirus pandemic led to a dramatic rise in the real M2 money stock. However, inflation didn’t become particularly pronounced until people

In 2022, I was able to greatly reduce my stock portfolio’s losses by shorting several U.S. equities. I found it fairly easy to find favorable stocks to short, as the valuations of many companies were ridiculously high last year, and many stocks were pricing in scenarios that almost certainly would never materialize. For example, I

Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY) stock could rise or fall in 2023, based on whether American legislators make progress with pro-cannabis bills. While TLRY is a Canadian company, it sells cannabis-related products throughout North America. Thus, U.S. marijuana laws are highly relevant to Tilray and its stakeholders.  So far, this looks like a steep uphill battle, and that’s bad news

2022 was brutal for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, and investors of Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) really got slammed. This, however, opens up the possibility that LCID stock is trading at an attractive price point. It certainly adds interest and intrigue that a sovereign-wealth fund recently added nearly $1 billion to its investment in Lucid Group. That’s
