I’m not a “buy the dip” investor, but that doesn’t mean I can’t spot a market overreaction when I see it. Instead of a cookie-cutter approach, Dick’s Sporting Goods reallocated its retail space to regionally relevant and growing merchandise. A 9.5% increase last year may not seem like much, but it was the chain’s headiest […]
It can be unnerving seeing the broad S&P 500 market index down over 2% in a single day, but it’s not all bad news. Online broking giant Interactive Brokers is no stranger to wild stock market swings. But during the early parts of 2021, it experienced an unprecedented growth phase in its business amid the […]
Black Friday has been a day of red for the overall cryptocurrency market, with most major tokens posting sizable sell-offs. Friday’s sell-offs in the cryptocurrency market may be most closely tied to the emergence of a new COVID-19 strain, but other factors are likely at play as well. A new coronavirus variant has been discovered […]
Along these lines, there are four charts that tell important stories for investors and provide hard data, rather than just speculation. The five largest companies in the S&P 500 — Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla — are even more disproportionately represented and make up more than 20% of overall capitalization. The “market” is much more […]
With the market near all-time highs, and inflation threatening to curtail people’s purchasing power, there is good reason to worry about what the market might do next. For one thing, normal stock market volatility means that you can lose money any given day that you are invested, while $1 in cash is always worth exactly […]
The Nasdaq Composite was holding up better than most of its peers, with futures falling 165 points to 16,201 as of 9 a.m. The threat of a new and potentially more infectious COVID-19 variant led to a rapid response from many governments around the world, prompting travel restrictions on those from South Africa, where the […]
Canadian pot producers Aurora Cannabis have been rivals for years. However, both companies are struggling to be the attractive growth investments they were before marijuana legalization took place in Canada in 2018. The company noted “continued price compression” in the Canadian market and more competition in international markets as some of the reasons its revenue hasn’t […]
Her ARK Invest exchange-traded funds haven’t matched the market’s performance in 2021, and some wonder if the revered manager has lost her touch. For the most part, many of the high-growth stocks that played prominent roles in the ARK Innovation ETF and other Wood-led ETFs topped out early in the year. Yet poor performance from telehealth […]
It’s been a day of sell-offs for many leading cryptocurrencies and altcoins, and Cardano is moving lower in the pullback. The pricing decline for Cardano’s ADA token appears partly driven by overall market momentum, but it’s also likely that token-specific news is factoring into the pullback. The trading platform didn’t get deep into the details […]

I’m pleased to be joined on the call today by our CEO, Murat Emirdag, and our CFO, Korhan Oz. The earnings release has been filed with the SEC on a Form 6-K and […]
There are stocks out there that are fashion-forward enough to be wearing exactly what folks will be looking to try on the next time the market tumbles.

Although some major benchmarks are holding up well, the Nasdaq Composite has been down fairly sharply for two days in a row.

Below, we’ll look more closely at what the two companies said and what it implies for their industry peers in the weeks and months to come. Shares of Zoom Video Communications did manage to post a modest after-hours rise of less than 1% following the release of its third-quarter financial results. Zoom’s business performance continued […]
At their daily lows Monday, each was down by more than 3%, and over the past seven days, each has declined by more than 9.5%. These declines appear to relate to traders’ fears about enhanced regulation of cryptocurrencies, and the way that their profits on tokens may be taxed under provisions of President Biden’s recently […]
Long gone are the days of calling Bitcoin and Ethereum a craze. Bitcoin provides a store of value and an inflation hedge, especially in countries that lack a stable fiat currency. One reason Bitcoin is so valuable is that it has a peak supply of just 21 million coins. Ethereum is burned on purpose by […]
But no one can deny that the S&P 500 currently trades at a high valuation compared to its historical average. Here’s the good news: the stock market has fallen many times before, and each of those events has ended with the market hitting new highs. If you can’t sleep at night based on the way […]
Skyrocketing inflation , stretched valuations , and a critical labor shortage each could pose risks to the market on their own. It might seem crazy to pay off debt when interest rates are so low and the market has seen such huge recent rises, but that could very well be the best time to do so. At […]
Connected exercise equipment company Peloton Interactive saw its shares soar by about 13% within hours of announcing a $1 billion secondary stock offering on Tuesday morning. Regardless of the stock market’s excitement over Peloton’s equity offering, risks remain high for the online workout provider, and it will still need to take strong steps to secure […]
On the bright side, the benchmark S&P 500 has enjoyed a historic bounce-back rally from its March 2020 low. Although valuation alone is rarely ever the catalyst for a steep correction or a crash, it is ominous that following the previous four instances where the S&P 500’s Shiller P/E crossed above 30, the index subsequently […]
But there’s a bigger question: What implications — if any — does this change have for the overall real estate market? In this Fool Live video clip, recorded on Nov. So I don’t think that from a homeowner’s perspective, there’s any reason to be worried about the price of your house because of the Zillow news. […]
