Before jumping into which auto stocks investors should consider buying let’s look at the numbers surrounding affordability. The numbers are pretty shocking, frankly.

What would it take for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) to get back in the driver’s seat on Wall Street? A better-than-expected earnings report should do the trick. Yet, RIVN stock actually fell even though Rivian Automotive’s quarterly results were pretty good — but that’s why there’s a potential buying opportunity in the

Many experts suggest the Federal Reserve will initiate rate cuts soon, making the stocks of rate-sensitive firms attractive. While terminal rate uncertainty remains, we are likely encroaching on the end of the rate hiking road.

Warning: while this discussion obviously centers on penny stocks to buy, this subsegment of the market carries astounding risks. While it’s difficult to verify, one source has the failure rate of these speculative, low-market capitalization entities as over 90%. As I said, it’s tough to confirm this assertion.
