Addressing climate change has been a top priority since day one for the Biden administration. Their longer-term agenda being to halve the U.S. carbon footprint by 2030.

The Evergrande crisis seems like China’s Lehmann moment. The markets have been jittery and it remains to be seen if there is a larger spill-over.

Last year, a paradigm shift occurred — and I’m not just talking about the novel coronavirus. Certainly, the global health crisis initially devastated economies the world over, and we’re still working through the rubble.

AT&T (NYSE:T) is undergoing some structural changes, which have investors concerned about its future prospects.

After a 2% drop in the indices on Monday, it’s now much easier to find stocks to buy on dips. Today we focus on one that was already in trouble before the most recent debacle. Skillz (NYSE:SKLZ) stock is 75% off of its all-time highs. But in all fairness, the rally that took it to

At the end of last year, I wrote that analysts’ earnings projections for Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) were $9.46 per share for 2021. Now those same analysts have average earnings per share (EPS) forecasts of $30.12 for 2021, or over 3 times the prior numbers. I wrote that MRNA stock was worth $180. But as of Friday,

Even with the major stock-market indexes showing gains for 2021 year-to-date, shares of Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) have gone nowhere as of mid-September.

But in recent weeks, the stocks have seen a correction. Against this backdrop, QuantumScape (NYSE:QS) stock, down 12.5% last month, becomes an interesting play. Source: Michael Vi/Shutterstock.com

Cassava Sciences (NASDAQ:SAVA), the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) drug company, certainly has had a rough time.

Most of these came out after their recent September release of 9-month Phase 2 results.

Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock is in a slump. It’s not anywhere near the extent of punishment it suffered in 2019 when NIO stock plummeted 85% in 8 months. However, NIO is down 29% from the end of June when it was trading just over the $53 mark. And it’s down about 30% since the start of the

Cinema stocks weren’t buzzworthy until 2021 when movie theater chain AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) became a target of Reddit traders.

As the world’s biggest cruise operator, Carnival (NYSE:CCL) is known as an industry leader. Consequently, CCL stock can be used as a benchmark to see how the U.S. cruise-line market is doing overall.
