Ahmad Bilal/iStock via Getty Images In a recent market update, we explained that we might be headed into a recession. This has led many of you to ask us how this will affect REITs (VNQ). Generally, a recession is bad, of course. REITs benefit from a strong economy and therefore, all else held equal, a recession would hurt most REITs. But here's my reasoning for why I think that a coming recession will be beneficial for most REITs: 1) REITs are recession-resistant: Most REITs earn cash flow from long-term le ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has certainly seen its fair share of upside during recent meme stock rallies. In fact, during this year’s recent surge, AMC stock soared as speculators piled into this beaten-down name. Much of this activity was tied to fellow meme stock GameStop (NYSE:GME), and the re-entrance of Keith Gill and retail investors into the name. However, aside from highly speculative factors, there aren’t really any fundamental catalysts that suggest this is a stock worth buying right now. So, for ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is a favorite of meme stock investors and moviegoers — and for good reason. The theater chain’s hundreds of locations have provided a nostalgic pastime for many and the business does appear to be rebounding from pandemic lows. Unfortunately, though, AMC stock hasn’t played ball. Despite a brief surge tied to recent meme mania, shares have headed consistently lower, at least in recent weeks. Today, AMC stock is down almost 2% in early afternoon trading, continuing this trend. How ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) has been rangebound as of late, but don’t assume that AMC stock is just sitting tight for the next wave of speculative frenzy about meme stocks. Sure, anything’s possible, including another social media blitz by famed meme trader Keith “Roaring Kitty” Gill. However, instead of hoping for “meme mania” to send shares surging, you may want to review and take heed of the Wall Street analyst community’s current take on the movie theater operator’s shares. Sell-side analysts don’t alw ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) stock couldn’t hold on to all of its gains after the recent meme stock rally. After soaring 32% in one day following the social media return of Roaring Kitty, it gave back more than one- third of them and has essentially held that position since. Many believe AMC stock will still take the next leg lower eventually, but private equity has been buying up shares and establishing significant positions in the movie theater operator. It amounts to a big vote of confidence for AMC Ente ...

Elsewhere, the Dow saw an upswing of 0.77%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq depreciated by 0.79%.

The investment community will be ...

As the stock market grows, savvy market watchers must know that all that glitters is not gold. In the landscape of soaring indices, certain stocks represent ticking time bombs, laden with issues that could lead to significant declines when the market cools off. The market's current exuberance masks underlying vulnerabilities in several sectors, where companies face critical challenges ranging from operational inefficiencies to overstretched valuations. General market trends or temporary catalysts may have b ...

Meme stocks are essentially shares of a company that have gained immense popularity through social media. Keith Gill, better known as “Roaring Kitty” on social media, helped start this craze, which became amplified through the subreddit r/wallstreetbets. This led to the price of meme stocks exploding before subsequently dying down. This has happened again quite recently, with Gill’s return to social media. Meme stocks that were thought to be dead or dying suddenly showed signs of life. Because meme stocks t ...

The Federal Reserve is yet to cut interest rates and make capital cheaper. FUD fund futures project the central bank will cut rates two times this year, with the first one in September, which could influence decisions on meme stocks to sell. But even if that happens, the market would get a signal that the economy needs to be stimulated even though inflation is off the 2% target. Historically, such an indicator would make the market more volatile in the short run. And which asset is inherently volatile alrea ...

AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) is among the top global theater chains many investors have ignored for its underlying business model. Indeed, most retail investors in this name are investing not for the company’s fundamental growth prospects or its outlook moving forward. Those are rather negative. It’s the company’s upside potential as a meme stock, and its corresponding short-squeeze potential, that drives most of the discussion around this name. While AMC has certainly seen many near-term surges over the pa ...
