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.

There’s no denying it: online entertainment platform Roblox (NYSE:RBLX) hasn’t dazzled its investors this year, so far. Unfortunately, RBLX stock is down from its peak price from June.

Originally, when the novel coronavirus first became a thing, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) showed great promise. While other vaccine developers were experimenting with pioneering nucleic-acid-based technologies, Novavax went with a subunit mechanism, a proven approach used in the hepatitis B vaccine.

A few weeks back, I wrote about a possible secondary catalyst with Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL) stock. The full legalization of marijuana in the U.S. remains the main one for this Canada-based pot company. But, if its share price dipped further?
