Special Purpose Acquisition Companies, or SPACs as they’re most often referred to, have been all the rage in the investing community. In fact, 2020 was a record year for them, as more than 200 SPAC sponsors issued initial public offerings — four times as many as 2019. So I get […]

It looks to me like the markets are still running on a post-inauguration sugar high. Global shares rose this morning mainly on the optimism of America transitioning to a new administration — the same sentiment that set off a rally on Wall Street earlier this week. Why? Investors are hoping […]

It’s no secret that earnings season has started off with a bang — accompanied by the inauguration of the 46th President of the United States Joe Biden, the social media ban on the former president Donald Trump and a technological revolution spurred on by a global pandemic. With big technology […]

We saw shares of General Motors leap to all-time highs Tuesday morning after the company revealed its new GM electric delivery van — and the possibility of flying cars. Much like the cars of “Back to the Future” (if GM has anything to do with it), the company’s stock shot […]

This is a new era in stock market investing. What worked historically in Warren Buffett’s day, may not be the best strategy in today’s market. The billionaire investor sold airlines at the worst possible time, has little tech names in his portfolio and holds onto bank stocks such as Wells Fargo […]

Think back to the 2016 presidential election for a moment… You had your die-hard liberals that voted for Hillary Clinton… and you had your loyal conservatives that easily cast their vote for Donald Trump.

The story in markets this week is the same story it’s been since the bottom in March… Autopilot to the upside.

As I was wandering around on the “interwebs” the other night, I happened to run across an ad for new short-form streaming service Quibi.

There’s no denying that the U.S. is a little chaotic right now… And why wouldn’t it be? Why wouldn’t both Republicans and Democrats not do everything in their power to hang onto or gain control when a lot of money is involved? We’re not saying all the rumors you’ve been […]
