Rocket Lab USA (NASDAQ: RKLB) stock went on an incredible run in the last 12 months. Some may say it even went to the moon. Shares went from around $4 in the spring of 2024 to breaching $30 in January of this year, a more than 7x gain in less than a year. Investors went from pessimistic to optimistic on this upstart competitor to SpaceX as it launches more rockets and builds on its capabilities as an end-to-end space economy platform.
Now, investors have turned pessimistic again. Some analysts estimate that the company's highly anticipated Neutron rocket will not be ready in 2025 as management ..read more

The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index currently finds itself in correction territory. A stock market correction occurs when the market falls 10% or more from its all-time highs.
Should investors buy the dip? There is a chance the recent pullback will turn into something worse, such as a prolonged bear market. However, most 10% corrections resolve themselves relatively quickly, making them great times to pick up high-quality companies for the long haul.

Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) has gotten into a habit of capitalizing on lucrative growth trends over the years, and it looks like the company is now on its way to making the most of another massive market that's currently in its early phases of growth.
From gaming personal computers (PCs) to cryptocurrency mining to high-performance computing (HPC) and now artificial intelligence (AI), Nvidia has managed to hit gold in multiple end markets that have now helped it become the third-largest company in the world (as of this writing). It looks like the company is going to add the automotive business to th ..read more

Last year, Nasdaq stocks -- from Nvidia to Palantir Technologies -- pumped up the performance of many portfolios. Investors piled into these high-growth names, and the fact that these players are involved in the booming artificial intelligence industry made their stories even brighter. The index finished the year with a double-digit gain, following a double-digit increase in 2023, and the momentum continued into the early days of this year.
But in recent weeks, the Nasdaq has lost its glow -- at least for now. The benchmark slipped into correction territory, falling more than 10% from its late ..read more

Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) has been a steady performer on the stock market over the past five years, delivering respectable gains of 230% to investors and outperforming the Nasdaq Composite's 143% jump by a handsome margin. But the technology giant has been under pressure this year.
Shares of the company that's known for providing database management and cloud services have dropped 7% in 2025 as of this writing, roughly in line with the Nasdaq's move. Oracle's recently reported results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended on Feb. 28) didn't help matters; the stock dropped following the release ..read more

With prices down 47% year to date, Dogecoin's (CRYPTO: DOGE) Trump-inspired rally is quickly unraveling. While it is normal for volatile assets to give up some of their gains after a big move, the controversial meme coin is performing worse than many of its peers. Is this dip a buying opportunity or a signal for investors to run for the hills? Let's dig deeper to find out what the next 12 months could have in store.
Extreme volatility
A rising tide can lift all boats, and the cryptocurrency industry is no exception. However, while digital asset prices tend to be highly correlated in the short ..read more

Recent tariffs and trade restrictions under President Donald Trump's administration have temporarily cooled the artificial intelligence (AI)- fueled bull market, with the benchmark S&P 500 retreating 3.6% since the start of the year. Despite this short-term volatility, however, the AI market is on track to reach an eye-catching $1.8 trillion in total value by 2030, according to industry analysts.
Fueling this expansion, U.S. and Chinese tech giants are accelerating their AI development timelines and pouring hundreds of billions into infrastructure. This next-generation infrastructure is ex ..read more

The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) and the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) have both recently dipped into correction territory. The media made a very big deal of that fact, though the S&P 500 index quickly bounced back from its 10% decline the very next day. Still, investors' emotions are running high amid increased market volatility.
Some important historical facts about the markets might help lessen their anxiety -- and could even encourage them to jump back into the market.

Investors have grown to associate Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) with soaring stock performance -- and for good reason. The shares' climbing more than 2,000% over the past five years has helped investors generate mind-blowing returns as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom fueled growth for the AI titan, pushing revenue to record levels.
But this doesn't mean the path of Nvidia's stock price has been a straight line upward. Nvidia has experienced its fair share of dips along the way -- and one of those is happening right now. The stock has slipped 16% over the past month, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq has ..read more
