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 […]
