Since the end of March, the S&P 500 has bounced back nicely, rising 12% in three weeks (as of April 20). But this was after the benchmark had a sluggish start to the year, posting a meaningful loss in the first quarter of 2026. The market is never completely in the clear, though. Investors have a lot to think about, like the Middle East conflict, inflationary pressures , and artificial intelligence (AI). It might be a good idea to find safer places to park your hard-earned savings. Here's where to invest $1,000 in an uncertain market. Continue reading

Marina113 What goes up must come down... especially if it's a meme stock. Shares of Avis Budget ( CAR ) have been on a tear over the past month, soaring some 600% from below $100 to over $700. The party finally came to an end on Wednesday, with the stock falling back to earth following a quick surge in the opening minutes. After all was said and done, the car rental company had tumbled by nearly 40%, shaving $270 off its share price and ending the session in the $400-range (CAR is down another 6% in premarket trade). Sign of the times: Avis Budget ( CAR ) has all the characteristics of a meme stock. The firm reported billion-dollar net losses over the past two years, while short interest has grown to a high of 25.55%, making it susceptible to significant short squeezes. Remember the "meme trade" of rival car rental chain Hertz ( HTZ ) in 2020? That run-up heralded the most famous "meme trade" of them all... GameStop ( GME ) in 2021. Back then, Avis ( CAR ) also found itself on the Wall Street Bets list, with pump and dumps of the stock even cycling into 2022. When traders get exuberant, like the rapid buy-the-dip action that followed the peak of the Iran war, silly money can send stocks on a ride. It's happening now and will likely happen again. Concentrated institutional ownership of Avis Budget ( CAR ) hasn't helped the situation, with two hedge funds - SRS and Pentwater Capital - said to own 82% of the company , thereby limiting the available float. CAR crash! Seeking Alpha analysts have been raising red flags on Avis Budget ( CAR ) the entire way up. Vittorio Bertolini cited short-squeeze risks in early April, Doug Collins warned of float mechanics earlier this week, and Investing Group Leader Ian Bezek sounded the alarm yesterday ahead of the massive plunge. The latter has also signaled caution regarding the fresh volatility surrounding Hertz ( HTZ ), as both car rental players remain on the radar due to recent demand fueled by airport gridlock and the partial ...

Ex-Spice Girl Sporty is ready to take your questions on everything from her Wannabe days to DJing, triathlons and her ninth solo album, Sweat Some former girl- and boyband stars spend a lifetime trying to escape the image that made them famous. Not Melanie C. Since the Spice Girls debuted 30 years ago this summer (What’s that sound? Oh, it’s just the unadulterated violence of mortality) she has never shied away from her past as Sporty Spice. Her ninth album, Sweat, leans firmly into it. Led by its gauntlet-throwing title track, these are work-bitch bangers for the gym, the dancefloor – inspired by her pre-Spice raving youth – and quite possibly the bedroom, sung by a triathlon fiend who forged a reputation as a world-renowned DJ. You can ask Melanie about her solo career – she’s the only Spice Girl still making music – or anything else when she sits for the Guardian’s reader interview. Perhaps her new love of the intensive competitive workout Hyrox, what the departure of Mo Salah means for her beloved Liverpool FC, why 90s nostalgia has taken over social media, whether tabloid culture is any less cruel than it used to be or how it can possibly be three decades since Wannabe changed the world.
