In a previous column, which I wrote on Feb. 25 and was published on Feb. 27, I hypothesized that small-cap and mid-cap stocks would rally as they managed to obtain funding despite high interest rates, as the Street generally becomes more upbeat about equities, and as bears gave up shorting small-cap and mid-cap names.

During periods of high inflation and a hawkish stance on interest rates from the Federal Reserve, investors may be wise to protect their wealth through dividend-paying stocks which will offer regular payouts depending on performance. When utilized effectively, dividend-paying stocks are great for ensuring that portfolios can continue to retain their value even as historically
Don’t look now, but Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang is the 20th wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of $69.7 billion, up $25.7 billion in 2024 due to the 64% year-to-date return of NVDA stock. Except for Mark Zuckerberg, Huang’s increase in 2024 is the second highest, $4.5 billion ahead
The semiconductor market is not just about Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), folks! Undoubtedly, the recent gains posted by the GPU giant have been nothing short of wild. Though investors may be looking to other plays in the semiconductor basket for the next Nvidia, I’m not so sure that anything will be able to catch Nvidia’s crown at
Is it the right time for dip buyers to put China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) on their watch list? Probably not, as the near-term outlook for NIO stock is unclear and it only deserves a “D” grade right now. Granted, Nio has a chance to turn a corner in early March as there’s a significant upcoming event. It’s fine to mark
Among tech investments, the search for the next titan resembles a deep dive into the ocean for pearls. The periodic portfolio shifts toward solid tech contenders with high-yield potential as the digital space evolves. From cybersecurity advancement to disruptive biotech, potential brims for astronomical growth through three decisive picks. The first one’s strategic edge, the
Since January, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has bounced back from its all-time lows, yet only slightly. With this, some bottom-fishers may now believe LCID stock is favorably priced, after perhaps becoming oversold following the deflating of the EV stock bubble. A surge to $10 per share is unlikely, with signs pointing to a forecast of $1
Scores of names in “penny stock territory” (stocks trading for $5 or less per share) go unnoticed among the sell-side community, but that doesn’t mean they are completely off their radar. Alongside these more “under the radar” names, are strong buy penny stocks that have received favorable analyst ratings. These include ratings from analysts at
Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock has had a long bumpy ride. Investors eagerly bought LCID shares after its 2021 IPO, raising $4.5 billion for Lucid. Lucid’s Saudi backers provided capital during tough times. However, the new EV maker is far from dethroning Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or even China’s BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDY). In Q4 2023, BYD sold 526,409 electric vehicles, while
My stance on Chinese EV maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) stock has changed, and I now see more relative upside for the company’s competitors, looking at this space more broadly. However, there are reasons investors may consider this stock an excellent long-term play in this market. I was once bullish on Nio, and I can understand the
You may be short-sighted if you think generative artificial intelligence is the best thing happening to technology stocks this decade. There also are great opportunities right now in A-rated quantum computing stocks. Quantum computing will surely change the computer industry as we know it. It will be the next great breakthrough in technology. Quantum computing
While stock splits don’t necessarily change the valuation of a company’s stock. They do offer some benefits. Namely, they can make a stock more affordable for retail investors. In that way, companies can draw in new shareholders and capital when they split their stock. For existing shareholders, stock splits increase their share count without them
While it’s tempting to jump on a company like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), at some point, it won’t match expectations, which brings us to a discussion about underappreciated tech stocks. They’re nowhere near as enticing as NVDA. However, they could offer superior returns. That might sound like an arrogant if not irrational proposition. But the thing is,
In the stock market, identifying potential millionaire-making stocks can lead to a situation like finding needles in a haystack. However, under ongoing volatility, three companies have emerged as prime contenders for high returns. Beyond names, these companies hold a strategic edge, rapid growth capabilities, and solid market strategies. The first one stands at the edge
Penny stocks are Wall Street’s version of the discount dollar store. Most of the stuff you find is absolute junk, let’s be brutally honest here. However, that’s not 100% of the case. Allow me a small personal example. I used to buy can openers from major retailers but they would typically break apart quickly. So,
Utility stocks are trusted for the long haul for a reason. Commanding permanent relevance, they’re practically impossible to displace. Stated differently, utility stocks benefit from what’s known as a natural monopoly. While would-be rivals are free to compete with these established entities, they also face considerable hurdles. From high startup costs to onerous regulations, it
Oversold stocks are the equivalent of Wall Street’s clearance sale. Many times, stores have too much inventory of certain products that are holding up valuable real estate. They gotta go – and you just might benefit. Of course, you don’t want to buy everything that’s offered simply because it’s on discount. If the clothes on
You don’t have to stay on top of the stock market every day to grow your money. Instead, if you just focus on some of the top growth stocks, you can just let your money do all the work for you. Even better, many of these very growth stocks have delivered long-term rewards for shareholders
Tough times require tough cost-cutting decisions, including job layoffs. However, to get a company back on the right track, reach profitability, and increase margins, they’re often required. Below are just a few of the top post-layoffs stocks that should flourish, as they get back on the right track. We also have to consider that job
Under-$5 stocks for new investors are a tricky proposition. On one hand, today’s under-$5 stocks could be some of tomorrow’s stock market giants. As recently as 2013, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) traded in under-$5 territory, and we all know how that turned out. At the same time, plenty of under-$5 stocks are in the stock market’s dustbin.
