There appears to be no shortage of e-commerce players out there trying to be the next Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). It’s a futile effort, of course, and there will likely never be another Amazon. So why not create a niche that doesn’t compete directly against other e-commerce giants? ContextLogic (NASDAQ:WISH) seems to have gone that route by

Just as I predicted in my last article on ViacomCBS (NASDAQ:VIAC), the company produced a large increase in free cash flow (FCF) during Q1.

Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) stock looks even more undervalued than it did in April. At the time, I said this cloud software company was worth at least 30% more than its April 14 price of $76.78. That put the value of ORCL stock at about $100 per share. Today, with its Q4 free cash flow (FCF) up 19%

Several recent news items have improved my confidence in Vaxart (NASDAQ:VXRT) stock. Specifically, another columnist provided additional evidence that the company’s Covid-19 vaccine candidate could be effective even though it did not spur the production of “neutralizing antibodies” in most participants in a Phase I trial.

Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? Certainly not General Motors (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F), nor Volkswagen (OTCMKTS:VWAGY).
