Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is at its highest price in 2024 and has bounced more than 80% higher from its April lows.

For many of the global problems today, the solution will arrive via air mobility in the near future. Too much traffic? Flying cars! Overloaded airports and other overworked transportation infrastructure? Facilities to handle passengers and cargo at alternate sites like heliports. Meeting the demands of the burgeoning consumer class across the world?

Electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) might produce sleek and powerful automobiles, but there are problems underneath the hood of this company. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen, investors should cut their losses or, better yet, just avoid Lucid stock altogether. I have to respect Lucid Group’s loyal investors. They’ve suffered harsh losses this year. I wish

In case you haven’t noticed, a whole lot of pain and pessimism has already been priced into Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) stock. I’ve warned investors about Plug Power stock before.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has been on a tear lately. Apple stock has bounced back to not only the $200 per share mark, but onward to new all-time highs.

After two major meme-stock-driven gains in May and June, GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock has mostly been on the down and out. Having gained 48% year-to-date, it’s hard to call the 2024 performance of GameStop stock a disaster. This time last year, it traded slightly lower than today.  Keith Gill, the man behind the “Roaring Kitty” persona,

It’s been a crazy ride for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) shareholders in 2024. Tesla stock opened 2024 trading at $250.08. It fell 44% in less than four months to a low of $138.80. In the 74 days since, TSLA is up 78%, less than $60 from $300, a level the stock hasn’t seen since September 2022.  Looking

Excuse me while I ask a crazy question: Are AI glasses the future of AI? I think they could be. Earlier this week, smart glasses maker Solos announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate the new ChatGPT-4o AI model into a pair of “AI glasses” set to launch later this year. Sounds crazy. I know.

Stock spinoffs typically don’t do well initially. Unloved by shareholders of the former parent company, often misunderstood by the market and sometimes laden with debt or other baggage the parent no longer wanted to carry, spinoff stocks can take time to find their footing.

Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI), a provider of artificial intelligence server infrastructure, became the market’s new shiny metal object in 2024.

You may be wondering whether it’s time to “buy the dip” with Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD). Put simply, we believe that there’s little reason to rush into an Advanced Micro Devices stock position. Although shares in the chip designer are currently finding support, another big reversal may be just around the corner. It all has

At first glance, it seems reasonable to expect Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock to rally this year since it manufactures AI chips like the ARC A770, A750, and A580 lineups priced at an attractive range. However, the stock is down 38% year-to-date in a year that tech stocks are rallying. Intel’s valuation is still high despite U.S.
