Over the next 20 years, electric vehicles are going to take over the world. We all know this.

It is – but

The meme stock wave that sent Senseonics (NYSEMKT:SENS) stock higher has come and gone. Yet so far, it hasn’t pulled back in the way other stocks popular with Reddit traders have done.

Meme stocks aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. One of the most interesting trends to emerge during the pandemic, this subcategory of stocks is generating a lot of interest, especially from retail investors. And that has led to a sharp increase of buying into companies with high short ratios. This is traditional investing turned upside down.

Earlier this year, General Electric (NYSE:GE) stock surged from a split-adjusted $50 per share to as much as $115.36 per share.

The shining momentum for ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) came and left in a hurry in June. Meme traders, where traders depicted stock buys with an image and a few words, lifted WISH stock.

Investors with a keen focus on lithium-ion battery development and manufacturing will want to keep an eye on Microvast Holdings (NASDAQ:MVST) stock.

Today, social media platforms like Discord do away with high-pressure

At the end of June, I wrote about Ocugen (NASDAQ:OCGN) and OCGN stock. I said that at $8.35, it was ridiculously overvalued. I also said if it were worth $8, I’d eat my hat.

One of the biggest meme trades — or at least trades that have “meme-ish” qualities — Castor Maritime (NASDAQ:CTRM) lit up the charts earlier this year. Starting off at $1.86 on the first close of January, CTRM stock finished the Feb. 11 session at $17.30, a nearly 10X move in the space of a month-and-a-half.

It’s supposed to be “off season” in Washington D.C. right now. But, as opposed to taking advantage of their recess, legislators are moving forward with passing some hefty bills and budget plans. I’m talking, of course, about the $1 trillion infrastructure bill and $3.5 trillion 2022 budget plan. Both plans have passed the Senate, and

Analysts still don’t seem to understand Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), the electric vehicle (EV) and battery maker. This is despite the fact that it is close to bringing online two new plants, one in Germany and the other in Austin, Texas.
