Gamestop (NYSE:GME) stock was one of the great stories of early 2021. A short squeeze driven by small investors sent stock in the video game store chain soaring early last year, from $25/share to a high of over $300. The arrival of Chewy (NYSE:CHWY) founder Ryan Cohen as chairman, and the hiring of new management from Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN) caused many of those investors to believe a turnaround was imminent. It’s not. When the company’s Christmas quarter numbers came out in March, it reported anemic growth of 6% year-over-year, and a loss of $381 million, $5.25 per share. Beyond a stock split that only seems to benefit management, nothing has changed. The Bull Case for GME Stock The bull case for Gamestop starts with a failure, cloud gaming. Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL) promised to tran

$TENCENT(00700)$ The markets are volatile due to the ongoing geopolitical tensions and the recent interest rate hike. However, some overseas investments are gaining appeal thanks to the latest news coming out of China. For the first time in a while, companies in that market can catch their breath. There are reports that China might be easing regulations, signaling a major shift in policy. Hence, China tech stocks are making the rounds once again. China has the world’s largest population, a rapidly growing middle class, and over 1 billion internet users. The Chinese tech sector is huge, with 301 unicorn companies (startups worth over $1 billion) and some of the most innovative companies in the world. It’s one of the reasons for Beijing’s heavy-hande

Earlier this month,Lucid Group(LCID) announced the launch of Lucid Financial Services. It may not be the most needle-moving development, but it's another important step for this EV upstart. Temporary uncertainties could continue to affect it in the near term, yet LCID stock remains one of the better choices among EV plays. As a stock,Lucid Group(NASDAQ:LCID) may be running on low battery. Market volatility has hammered LCID stock. It’s back down to the mid-teens per share. But as a company, it’s continuing to drive ahead, making progress withpartnerships and vehicle order deals.More recently, the early-stageelectric vehicle (EV)maker has made another bit of progress. That would be the launch of its financial services arm. Granted, this isn’t a major game changer. This is, however, a positi

Qurate Retail(QRTEB) has surged more than 60% today on little news. That said, speculative interest from retail investors appears to be driving this move. QRTEB stock has a very low float and is thinly-traded, leading to speculative interest in this name today. Source: Pavel Kapysh / Shutterstock.comOne of today’s more interesting movers is Qurate Retail(NASDAQ:QRTEB). Thislittle-known retailerfocused on video commerce has surged more than 60% at the time of writing on little news. Notably, QRTEB stock has seen more than 5.5 million shares trade hands in this early afternoon session, relative to an average daily volume of less than 3,000 shares.Thus, it appears the low-liquidity nature of this stock is at play with investors looking to induce a squeeze. Typically, short interest and b

Lucid Motors(LCID) is significantly down from the all-time highs of $57 and struggling to move significantly above $20. The stock has short-term potential but it will need to work on the production schedule to prove itself in the long run. LCID stock below $20 is a good buy if you believe it can make good on production targets. LucidMotors(NASDAQ:LCID) is a fairly newelectric vehiclestock in the market. The company has been around for more than a decade but it went public in 2021 through a special purpose acquisition company, orSPAC mergerwith Michael Klein’s Churchill Capital Corp IV. Since then, LCID stock has seen many ups and downs.Unfortunately, 2022 hasn’t been kind to most companies, including LCID.Once trading as high as $57, the stock has been trading at or below $20 for quite som

Singapore Telecommunications (SGX:Z74) has had a great run on the share market with its stock up by a significant 13% over the last three months. However, we decided to pay close attention to its weak financials as we are doubtful that the current momentum will keep up, given the scenario. Particularly, we will be paying attention to Singapore Telecommunications' ROE today. Return on equity or ROE is an important factor to be considered by a shareholder because it tells them how effectively their capital is being reinvested. In other words, it is a profitability ratio which measures the rate of return on the capital provided by the company's shareholders. How To Calculate Return On Equity? The formula for return on equity is: Return on Equity = Net Profit (from continuing operations)

Investors with a small amount of funds to allocate to equities often look for stocks that have a relatively lower price. As an example, a diversified sub-portfolio of stocks under $10 can be created with limited funds.It’s also obvious that most of these stocks under $10 would be high-risk growth stocks. However, careful selection can help in boosting portfolio returns.In the bull market, I have seen stocks under $10 double or triple in a matter of days. That’s unlikely right now, though, as broad market sentiments are bearish.However, there are low-priced stocks that are worth considering for the next 12 months. Over this time, these stocks can potentially double.Of course, I must add here that macroeconomic conditions remain uncertain. It’s best to be overweight on low-beta stocks, but a

Nvidia(NVDA) is at the lowest levels in the past year. NVDA looks better valued on a fundamental basis and oversold on a technical basis, so this may be a good time to get in. Selling puts to get paid now and potentially be a buyer later and lower makes a lot of sense here. Shares ofNvidia(NASDAQ:NVDA) have dropped below the $150 price level as crypto carnage and market malaise drive NVDA stock lower. Nvidia has been cut in half since making all-time highs above $330 last November. Just as the speculative fervor was too hot back in November, the pessimism is getting too pervasive now. Time to be a buyer of NVDA stock on any further weakness.NVDA stock will likely never carry low valuation multiples, at least for the foreseeable future. But it’s important to always look at stocks like Nvidi

A sharp selloff has wiped billions of dollars off of valuations in the past few weeks. Growth stocks have been unfairly targeted. Many of these companies offer excellent operating models and great growth potential.Many people believe that the market has grown overly conservative and the only way to make money is to invest in value stocks. This belief has caused many growth stocks to take a hit even though they are doing well.Starbucks (SBUX)Starbucks(NASDAQ:SBUX) is one of the most popular coffee shops in the world. In 1971, Jerry Baldwin and Gordon Bowker worked at a coffee roasting plant in Seattle when they met Zev Siegl. The three men had a dream to open up their store where they could sell high-quality roasted coffee beans and brewed coffee that they would make themselves. They wanted

When interest rates are on the rise, bank stocks become a great buy. That’s because of what’s known as net interest margin, which is the difference between the interest that banks earn on assets and the interest paid to depositors and creditors. When the Federal Reserve raises interest rates as its doing this year, the net interest margin also increases. Banks make more money. “Basically banks are in the business of buying and selling money. It’s a very pure business and so the rates, the spread between what they borrow or your savings rate and what they lend, your lending rate is how they make their money,” said Motley Fool contributor Lou Whiteman on an Apr. 11 podcast. “Almost universally, the rates on the lending side go up first, so the banks in a typical time have a real chance in a

Here is the top stock trade we’re watching for this week.Snowflake (SNOW)Snowflake(NYSE:SNOW) had a nice pop on the day, rallying off its initial post-earnings selloff. However, the stock still finished lower by 4.5%.Investors now have to keep a close eye on the $126 area. That was this month’s prior low until Thursday morning’s gap down. If $126 doesn’t hold, I believe the low near $113 remains vulnerable.On the upside, however, the declining 10-day moving average has been resistance. If that changes, $150 and the 21-day moving average are in play. Above that puts $164 on the table.
