Desktop Metal stock is a favorite among retail investors who find the appeal of metal 3D printing to be tantalizing. We scoured their 2022 year-end earnings call for the latest news on the P-50 production platform that everyone's been waiting for, but again we find information lacking on how many units are being sold to whom. Instead, emphasis is being placed on the 1,100 other metal 3D printers Desktop Metal has deployed in the field. We look at how their gross margins are deceptively low, and why they wrote off nearly $500 million in goodwill last year (hint: they overpaid for the 10 acquisitions that were made from all that SPAC money). Next year Desktop Metal expects revenue growth that will range from 0% to 24%. At the top of that estimate, revenues would come in at $260 million which happens to be the guidance they gave for 2022 (actual revenues came in at around $209 million). DM stock is one we'll be passing on until they start providing more revenue reporting granularity and we see those gross margins start creeping upwards. Good luck in 2023 and we'll check back in around early 2024 - unless of course, some major event happens because we know how many of you love DM stock despite all the ambiguities ;)

ABB vs FANUC vs Yaskawa - which industrial robotics stock is best? We review each of these robot leaders to determine which meets our criteria which is to find the most pure-play exposure. ABB stock provides the least exposure to industrial robotics as a percentage of total revenues. They're focused on vehicle electrification, which has its own unique appeal. Both FANUC and Yaskawa offer about 40% robotics exposure in addition to other areas such as motion control and CNC manufacturing machinery. Both of these Japanese stocks are growing robotics revenues at a CAGR of 7-8% over the past 10 quarters or so. Valuations aren't overly rich, but that's because both stocks represent value more than growth. So, which is the better stock - ABB stock, FANUC stock, or Yaskawa stock? You better watch the video and find out.

Swing trading vs long term investing, which is better?  Anyone who needs to ask that question hasn't suffered through trial by fire. At some point in every man's life, two things happen. He decides that making lots of money would be a really cool way to sleep with lots of hot girls (or guys, we have nothing against those who bat for both teams) and that the best way forward is to try and shortcut the wealth accumulation process. Wait two decades for wealth to accumulate? Okay boomer. That's when they hear from one of their mates at the pub - the one who doesn't have a pot to piss in - that swing trading is the golden ticket. And the best part? You don't even need that much money to get started.  After paying "Bob's Swing Trading School" the obligatory $199.99 for a two week cram course on candlestick charting and stop losses, you're off to the races with your $1,200 tax return (minus Bob's course fees). After a few months of beginner's luck, you've lost all your money and you're wondering why. Fortunately, you've ended up at the doorstep of some people who have done just that themselves. It's okay, you fell for swing trading just like everyone else. We're here to help.

Invitae stock is hitting the skids harder than a Portland wino, and we're left wondering why. In this NVTA stock analysis, we look at how the company went from "high volume genetics testing leader" to "we need to cut costs or else." In other words, Invitae is a company that's surviving, not thriving. If you're holding Invitae stock and looking for a price prediction, we can only tell you this. If Invitae stock were trading at the same valuation as the average tech stock we cover, it would be sitting at around $12 a share. That goes to show how little faith investors have that Invitae can restore growth. At least they managed to ward off a potential bankruptcy by sorting out next year's debt. Now, Invitae has enough cash to operate through 2024, though a massive chunk of debt comes due in 2028. Everything you want to know about the situation is covered in today's Invitae review.

HLBZ stock gets a lot of attention from retail investors, many of whom haven't taken the time to understand the broader micro mobility investment thesis. Helbiz stock has lost 90% of its value since IPO, but at least that's not as bad as Bird stock which has lost 98%. Why are these two micro mobility stocks crashing harder than a drunk on a pegged out e scooter? It's because both companies are having to figure out how to operate profitable businesses in an extremely competitive market. Leading the micro mobility pack is Lime, a company that plans to go public soon given they're able to operate a profitable business. As for Helbiz, they're far from having a positive gross margin. Our HLBZ stock prediction? It has a lot further to sink as they continue to dilute investors on an almost weekly basis. Here's why we're avoiding $HLBZ stock like the plague.

Rivian has an Amazon problem that's not so obvious to those who are hoping to find the next Tesla. Amazon and Rivian are in bed for a while now, in a committed relationship where Rivian needs to do everything Amazon says otherwise no nooky. Rivian can't even sell their electric van to anyone else, only Amazon, for four years after the start of delivery.

Asia is where many of the world's most promising robot companies hail from, but coming up with a list of Asian robot companies isn't easy. We solved this problem by looking at the world's biggest robotics ETFs to see which robotics companies from Asia they had included. Turns out there some Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese robot companies, and of course, loads from Japan. In this analysis, we take a closer look at the Asia's robotics companies excluding Japan and find a few names that are definitely worth some further investigation. Additionally, we show you how Excel can be used to import rich data on Asian companies quite easily.

Our Lucid stock analysis looks at the biggest problem facing LCID stock holders - a business that cannot sell a product for more than it costs to produce. In 2022, for every dollar spent on cost of goods sold or COGS, Lucid recouped just 37 cents. That's not a business. We compare Lucid's numbers to what Tesla looked like shortly after their IPO. The difference with Tesla is that they always had a positive gross margin. Lucid doesn't, though the trend is going in the right direction. Back in Nov 2021, we predicted that Lucid would have trouble scaling and stated the blatantly obvious - that LCID stock was hyped up to ridiculous valuations. Today, we see a share price that's floated back down to earth and a trail of broken promises. Lucid Motors isn't scaling fast enough, and they're burning way too much cash producing a product that isn't being sold fast enough. Investors in LCID stock do have one hope. It wears a kaffiyeh and has more money that you can shake a stick at. Will Saudi Arabia be the deep pocket that Lucid Motors needs to eventually reach profitability?

Intuitive Machines stock price has soared to the moon. That’s fitting, because Intuitive Machines stock – also called LUNR stock – is receiving nearly all their revenues from NASA as they hope to capitalize on man’s mission to send the 13th human to the moon. Our intuitive machine stock analysis looks at why $LUNR stock is soaring. What’s that little Johnny? You already know why? Yes, you’re right, it’s being hyped by cheerleaders who are pissing on people’s feet and telling them it’s raining. $LUNR stock has become completely disassociated with the intrinsic value of the company which – according to the price prediction given by our on-staff Romanian fortune teller – sits at between $3.90 a share to $8.30 a share. Truth is, we wouldn’t buy Intuitive Machines stock at any price because there are just too many risks.
