With many people now working from home, the potential for cyberattacks has only increased. That’s where Zix Corporation (ZIXI) has come into play. Most recently, the company announced the release of its Advanced E-Mail Threat Protection program for the U.K. market. Using machine learning capabilities, the tool offers multi-layered filtering that safeguards corporate inboxes against […]
2020 has been a wild ride for investors in energy infrastructure stocks. A range of factors, including energy demand destruction due to COVID-19, a meltdown of the high-yield investment sectors, and a perception that new, renewable energy technologies, will quickly replace oil and gas usage.

The story of the last month or so has been the rise in precious metals prices. Gold set record highs at more than $2,000 per ounce. And while not at record highs, silver was up over 60% for the year at one point. Whether talking about bullion, futures, or miners, pretty much any type of […]
On June 10, the Nasdaq closed above 10,000 for the first time in history. Even more remarkable is that the index closed above 11,000 less than two months later! The Nasdaq is heavily weighted with tech stocks, which have been red-hot lately. I’ll give you an example. One of the ratios I like to watch […]

CEFs are risky in a separate and distinct way from common stock risks. CEFs attract new investors because many of […]
Since the late 90s there has been one constant in the semiconductor world. I knew that anytime I looked at a chart of Intel (INTC), I could also pull up a chart of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)…and it would be priced below Intel. As the rental car ad says, I don’t know if they were […]
Inseego Corp. (INSG) is one of the top 5G stocks to keep an eye on at the moment. Over the last few weeks, INSG ran from a low of $10.53 to a high of $15.25. Then, on earnings, the stock slumped to $11.27. INSG reported second quarter net revenue of $80.7 million — year-over-year growth […]
The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and business resulted in a stock market crash and severe business disruption for many companies. One impact of the economic slowdown/shut-in was that many companies were forced or chose to slash common stock dividends. For example, out of the 165 equity REITs tracked by Hoya Capital […]
With all the hoopla over electric vehicles this year, it seems like investors have nearly forgotten about the ride-sharing business. There was a time where you couldn’t open up a financial publication without seeing something about Uber (UBER) or Lyft (LYFT).
