Snap (NYSE:SNAP), the camera company that makes all its revenue from advertising, took a big tumble on Oct. 21 when it released its quarter-three earnings. Apple’s changes to the iOS platform that impact the way advertising is targeted, measured, and optimized hurt Snap’s revenue base. In short, people opted out of its ads. Since then,

In my previous article on Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) I said that the launch of the Lucid Air would propel its stock upward. LCID stock has more than doubled since then from a price of under $20 to a Dec. 3 opening of $48.55. It was a pretty simple thesis as a successful launch would have

I wrote two articles today, one about IBM (NYSE:IBM) and the second about Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) stock. My opinion on both could not be any more different.

Because Covid-19 has dominated the news cycle for almost two years, many investors have ignored drug stocks outside of that domain. Betting on vaccine suppliers like Moderna (NASDAQ:MRNA) or BioNTech (NASDAQ:BNTX) has paid off — those stocks more than tripled at their peak. Since August, buying interest in these stocks has waned. The drop in

I last wrote about BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) in early September, saying there was more to it than its meme stock status. Since then, BB stock has tumbled around 13%.

C3 AI (NYSE:AI) stock has undoubtedly been a losing investment thus far.

With gold under-performing in the last few months, even the best gold stocks have been sideways to lower. However, the sentiment for gold seems to be changing.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) reported results for its first quarter as a publicly traded company this week.
