Only 2 "Magnificent Seven" Stocks Are Beating the Market This Year. What's Going On?

Despite the S&P 500 gaining 8% year-to-date, only Apple and Nvidia from the 'Magnificent Seven' tech stocks are outperforming the broader market.

Oracle Stock Is Down 64% in 10 Months. Is This the Best Buying Opportunity in AI -- or a Falling Knife?

Oracle's stock has plummeted 64% from its September peak despite strong business fundamentals, including 21% revenue growth and a massive $638 billion backlog.
