GameStop shares got hammered after the company reported earnings, Jim Cramer is worried about this EV company and more

Happy Wednesday Zingernation! Have you noticed that as we move into the future (humanoids, AI, and magic weight-loss drugs) it feels like fashion is actually moving backward? According to Future Market Insights, the second-hand clothing market is estimated to exceed $125 billion by 2034.

The clear winners of this trend: Depop, eBay, local thrift stores… and my mom. She hasn’t thrown away a single piece of clothing since 1982. Marty McFly wanted to go to the future, but I want to time travel to the past for his puffy red vest and vintage Nikes. The movie may have been wrong about the world having flying cars by now, but at least we have Tap to Pay, right?

Let me tell you something, and you might want to sit down for this.

The real juice in trading?

It’s not in racking up wins but in dissecting your losses.

Now, most folks can’t stomach this. Why? Because their egos are too bloated to admit they goofed up.

But here’s the kicker: this is exactly where Artificial Intelligence takes the cake. You see, this brilliant tech marvel – is wired to learn from every stumble, every faceplant.

We’re living in a time that’s more than just exciting – it’s revolutionary. What hurts us teaches us.

Sure, mistakes can hit your wallet hard. But for AI, every error is a golden ticket to mastery, to excellence.

Remember, AI has already trounced humans in Poker, Chess, Jeopardy, Go – you name it.

So, why would trading be any different? Think about it. Why should trading be the exception?

In Short: Fisker stock was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, and Jim Cramer said another EV startup could suffer the same fate.

What’s Happening: In a regulatory filing released Monday, Fisker reported that the NYSE had notified the EV company that it would immediately suspend trading of its common stock due to “abnormally low” trading price levels and commence proceedings to delist its stock.

Downward Spiral: Fisker said the delisting notice will trigger requirements to offer to repurchase its convertible senior notes due 2025 and 2026. The company noted that it does not have sufficient cash or financing to repurchase the notes and warned that the delisting event could have a material adverse effect on its business.

Zooming Out: This news comes about a month after Fisker reported preliminary earnings results and issued a going concern warning. Recent reports also indicate that Fisker was exploring a potential sale of its business and had brought on restructuring advisers to help with a possible bankruptcy filing.
