My Next Life-Changing Stock Pick? I Think So..
What happens to batteries from phones, electric vehicles, power tools, etc. at the end of their life? Up until 2017, virtually nobody was recycling or recovering the precious metals found in end-of-life lithium ion batteries. Instead, companies paid huge dumping fees to convert these batteries to waste. In a world where the materials needed to create batteries are scarce and in high demand, this makes no sense. Fortunately, companies like Li-Cycle (NYSE:PDAC) identified this problem and got to work.

How To Make Your Largest Asset Work for You
For most people, their mortgage payment is the largest recurring debt payment they make each month. But what if, instead of needing to earmark part of your take home pay for that, your house paid for the mortgage itself? Anything left over after the mortgage payment comes to you as a bonus.

Meet My $50,000 Penny Stock Investment | Interview w/ Creatd CEO Jeremy Frommer
Being a creator and public figure myself, I was able to see what Vocal already provides, and what it could become.

10 High Growth Stocks Down 30%+ To Buy NOW!
After months of high flying growth stocks setting new all-time highs, we have finally seen valuations come down for many stocks, specifically ones in the Nasdaq. Like many predicted, funds and institutional investors alike have flooded back into the safe, defensive stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), and out of tech stocks in the Nasdaq. Just yesterday, the DJIA was up 306.14 points (0.97%), while the Nasdaq was down 310.99 points (-2.41%). This sort of 'breather' was much needed for the Nasdaq, which has seen almost 100% return since the lows in March of 2020.

The Forgotten SPAC Stock
SPACs, or Special Purpose Acquisition Companies have been very popular among retail investors. After all, they've seemed like a foolproof way to make money.

I believe this has presented a great buying opportunity for the company.

You can barely see, but it seems like the people in the far distance are disappearing into thin air. This starts to worry you, but you ignore your concerns. Wouldn’t they come back if something was wrong? Why would so many people be behind you if this wasn’t a good idea? As you move forward, you pass by doors that look more appealing, but instead, you continue pressing forward with everyone else. Everyone is saying "keep moving" and you don't want to miss out. You get to the end and…

RexFinancePublished 6 months ago in TraderHedge Funds, Reddit, and GameStop: is Fintech democratizing Finance?
Quite a fascinating story that unfolded over the past weeks. A finance drama from films like The Big Short. David vs Goliath in the trading world with a “Rich against poor” vibe. An amazing saga to start 2021. Here is a quick recap if you have not followed. Which is particularly hard since everybody is talking about it. Also, why it actually matters for fintech.
