From 2009 to the late 2010s, Bitcoin’s lack of correlation with the broader economy proved a mixed blessing.

The S&P SmallCap 600 is down 24.0% year-t0-date through Sep. 30. That’s 77 basis points less than the S&P 500. So, looking for small-cap stocks to buy is not necessarily a bad idea. If anything, 2022’s bear market shows us that there are times when the markets can’t shelter even the largest companies. The S&P Composite
As has been the case lately, investors are continuing to bail on Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN) stock. Just in the past month, shares in the fledgling electric vehicle (EV) maker are down around 50%.

There’s a saying in investing, attributed to Warren Buffett, that you don’t see who’s swimming naked until the tide goes out. Essentially, this means that poorly run and troubled companies are most exposed during market downturns. This is certainly proving to be the case this year. With all the major U.S. indices now in bear
The governing Conservative (Tory) Party has dropped its plan to cut the top U.K. personal income tax rate from 45% to 40%, but other proposed tax cuts remain in play.

Headline inflation numbers continue to run near their highest levels in 40 years. The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates by 75 more basis points in September. Analysts are rightly nervous about how long this rising-price period will persist. However, one key sector of the economy is already signaling that the worst of the inflation has
When Robinhood launched in 2015, its selling point was commission-free trading, with free stock, ETF, options, and crypto trades. Now that most brokers have dropped commissions, Robinhood has lost that edge. Still, the broker’s low costs, zero account minimums, and overall simplicity remain attractive to new investors.

One of the obstacles to mainstream adoption of digital currency has been hacking. Some high-profile thefts have occurred on various cryptocurrency exchanges and platforms, deterring investors from putting their money on them. Blockchain projects are expected to be secure, but two hacks in August and September 2022 made the top seven of all time, shattering this myth.
While you’ve all heard the phrase you get what you pay for, sometimes, you can “arbitrage” this aphorism in the market with stocks to buy under $20. What does that mean? The lion’s share of financial advisors will direct you to quality blue-chips. These often carry hefty price tags and for good reason. They represent
As a sensible investor, the last thing you need is drama. Yet, there’s no shortage of it when it comes to electric vehicle (EV) startup Faraday Future (NASDAQ:FFIE) stock. The company is, as we’ll discover, in a capital-poor financial state. Granted, FFIE investors responded well when Faraday Future apparently managed to avoid a lawsuit from a
