Mortgage rates again moved a notable increment lower Tuesday, resulting in an almost two-tenths of a point drop so far in October’s 30-year average.

What a year. EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) stock, my pick for InvestorPlace’s Best Stocks for 2022, is down 19%. And yet I still find myself in fourth place. It’s just been that kind of year. I’m good with that. EPR could still enjoy a nice run in the fourth quarter and take the crown. Stranger things

What exactly does Ideanomics (NASDAQ:IDEX) stock represent? Is it an electric vehicle (EV) design company? Or a tractor producer? Maybe it’s trying to be a wireless charging provider this week? How about a maker of street sweepers? Frankly, it’s hard to pin this company down, and IDEX investors are understandably unimpressed with the company’s poor financial results.

I’m on the hunt for stocks to buy that are primed for a turnaround in the final quarter of 2022 and into 2023. But what constitutes a turnaround? The S&P 500 is down more than 23% year-to-date through Oct. 3. Is that the place to start? Or do we look for an even more significant
In December 2021, I chose Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) for InvestorPlace’s Best Stocks for 2022 contest. Since then, it’s been an unmitigated disaster.
