SmileDirectClub Is Only For the Most Risk-Tolerant Investors

Chris Markoch

With a range of outcomes possible, SmileDirectClub is only a buy for risk-tolerant investors. However, if SDC stock has found a floor, investors may benefit from what appears to be, at least, a slight overreaction to its earnings report.

Chris Markoch

After two attempts at establishing itself as a health and wellness brand for the busy traveler, XpresSpa is hoping that a new subscriber-based wellness service will be enough to give the stock a lift. However, XSPA stock remains an investment for only the most risk-tolerant investors.

Barrick Gold Can Be a Hedge If Inflation Isn’t the Worst Case Scenario

Chris Markoch

It’s been a week since Barrick Gold reported earnings and GOLD stock has barely moved. In fact, GOLD stock is down 17.5% in 2021 despite turning positive briefly in May. But with the mining stock trailing gold by almost a 3:1 ratio, it's fair to start asking if GOLD stock is being oversold.

If You’re Holding Inovio Stock, You Better Have Diamond Hands

Chris Markoch

Inovio stock is essentially flat for the year, and yet INO stockholders have been taken on a wild ride for much longer than that. INO stock has a few potential catalysts that all contain a heightened risk premium which requires investors to have extraordinary patience.

The Trade Desk Wants Investors to Take a Ride On the Open Internet

Chris Markoch

In its most recent earnings report The Trade Desk posted its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year (YOY) beats in earnings and revenue. However, it's the company’s efforts to make the open internet the standard for digital advertising that may push TTD stock to an all-time high.

The Real Threat to ABNB is Not the Delta Variant

Chris Markoch

Over time, Airbnb looks to be a good investment. However, there are many variables in place at this time that convince me that ABNB stock is priced about right for a company that will still not be consistently profitable in the next few years.

Chris Markoch

Semiconductor stocks are becoming bellwether stocks of the ongoing digital revolution.

Hold On to Six Flags Stock as the Roller Coaster Ride Will Continue

Chris Markoch

Six Flags shattered earnings expectations suggesting that the company is on a good trajectory for recovery heading into what is historically its strongest quarter in terms of revenue and earnings.
