Rivian 's (NASDAQ: RIVN) financials are a mess. The company is burning billions in cash and can't sell vehicles profitably.

Warren Buffett has made his dislike for Bitcoin known over the years. "In terms of cryptocurrencies, generally, I can say with almost certainty that they will come to a bad ending," he said in 2018. At the time, Bitcoin was priced at about $15,000. Today, Bitcoin's value has soared above $50,000. Yet Buffett hasn't changed his tune. Even if someone offered him all the Bitcoin in the world for $25, Buffett said, he wouldn't take it.

History is proof the U.S. stock market always climbs to new highs given enough time. But the stocks that lead the charge higher aren't always the same. To help find the new leaders, Wall Street often groups them together to separate them from the rest of the market. For example, CNBC financial analyst Jim Cramer coined the FAANG acronym in 2017 to describe five of the largest technology companies at the time: Facebook, which now trades as Meta Platforms Apple Amazon Netflix Google, which now tra

According to research by The Motley Fool, the average U.S. household has $87,000 saved for retirement. Suppose you want to retire with a million-dollar nest egg. Round that average to $100,000, and you need to grow your savings tenfold between now and retirement. That can seem intimidating, especially with how hard it feels to get that first $100,000.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN) stock is falling off a cliff -- it was trading 10% lower as of 10:30 a.m. ET Friday. The electric vehicle (EV) stock has now lost a whopping 33% in just two days and has fallen 55% already in 2024, as of this writing. Ouch. The markets believed Rivian would be able to turn things around in 2024 and ramp up production swiftly, but the EV maker just confirmed its struggles are far from over yet.
There are basically three ways to become uber-wealthy: 1. Your family is rich. 2. You get lucky. 3. You take big risks and work really hard. For a lot of people it tends to be some combination of numbers 2 and 3. The majority of the uber-wealthy class in this country who didn’t get their money handed down to them created it by starting a business (or becoming an equity owner in a business).
There wasn't much good news for the solar industry this week, as earnings season brought bad report after bad report.

All stocks require research before buying. But sometimes after research, I conclude that a company isn't ever worth an investment -- no need to circle back in the future. Some businesses simply burn cash, will burn more cash with scale, and continually dilute investors to pay the bills. I believed Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) was going to be one of those companies after I researched it in 2019.

Nvidia 's (NASDAQ: NVDA) development of high-end data center GPUs for processing machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) tasks has turned it into a hypergrowth stock over the past couple of years. All of the world's leading AI companies -- including ChatGPT's developer OpenAI, Microsoft , Alphabet 's Google, and Amazon -- use Nvidia GPUs.
