The world’s foremost artificial intelligence stock trading algorithm, An-E, predicts that Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX) stock will gain 7% by June 15. An-E (pronounced Annie) has made this kind of prediction before. Back in December, Wall Street was bullish on Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ). Analysts were convinced JNJ could only go up… but An-E knew better. The

Metaverse stocks are nowhere near as popular as they were a few years ago. They’re seen as high-risk now. Rewind to late-2021 and it was just as easy to speculate that they were a surefire ticket to riches. At that time, investors were scrambling to understand what the metaverse was, and what it could be.

As the banking crisis persists, bank stocks continue to trade at depressed prices. With this, many investors are waiting for Warren Buffett to step in and save the day. In recent years, Buffett has lowered Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A, NYSE:BRK-B) exposure to the sector.

Navigating the tricky world of cannabis stocks has often been a perplexing endeavor for investors. Currently, the sector is grappling with headwinds. These include inflationary pressures, pricing troubles and an ever-developing regulatory landscape.

There are reasons to believe that video game retailer GameStop (NYSE:GME) will be out of business within the next few years. However, as a contrarian, I expect the GME stock price to head higher by 2025. Granted, it’s risky to wager your money on GameStop. Yet, there are reasons to believe that GameStop’s management can set

As you may be aware, electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) has announced a series of price cuts in recent months. Even if short-term TSLA stock traders didn’t seem to appreciate the company’s strategy at first, the tide of sentiment appears to be shifting. Now is a great time to start a share position in Tesla,

The speculative fervor around Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has something in common with a short squeeze. At some point it ends in tears for someone, even if the underlying trend is in their favor.
