Stocks to buy

By corporate protocol and just plain old common sense, when it comes to penny stocks to buy, your first instinct should be this: don’t. Yeah, I know that’s not exactly a sexy opener for the topic at hand. However, while all market ideas carry risks, extremely cheap securities present incredible dangers. As neither a financial

With just weeks until New Year 2024, now is the time to start planning for your future. Besides the New Year Resolutions, the one thing you must do is plan for your financial future. In fact, investing in the right stocks can help generate passive income while also growing your capital. Whether you are a

It’s time to start thinking about Thanksgiving stocks. Thanksgiving is both one of the country’s most celebrated holidays and also an important economic moment. The term “Black Friday” came about originally because it refers to the day of the year that retailers often go from losing money to becoming profitable and being “in the black”

Market overreaction can be a beautiful thing if you’re a long-term investor. I mean, overreaction to short-term events often opens up value gaps in stocks, lending you the opportunity to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities. Although major U.S. stock indices have recovered since the turn of the year, a few assets have gone off the

Dividends continue to be a source of strength for investors amid ongoing market volatility. While share prices fluctuate, quarterly dividend payments remain a return on invested capital that shareholders can count on. Fortunately, upcoming good news is that dividend payouts are rising across American markets. In this year’s third quarter, dividend payments rose. The average

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has hinted at the likelihood of implementing further interest rate hikes to counter inflation with a potential tightening slated for the December meeting. Although market expectations lean towards a pause, Powell underscored the nuanced equilibrium required to tackle inflation without causing undue economic harm. Despite the U.S. economy exhibiting a

Some of the most followed information in the stock market besides earnings releases are analyst recommendations. These are expert analyses that cover various companies that have a high potential for return on investment or industries in which they specialize. These recommendations can go from “Strong Sell” to “Strong Buy,” and most investors look for Strong

Recession-resistant stocks are essential to achieving stable, long term portfolio returns. The economy goes through periods of both economic expansions and contractions. These cycles can impact stock market returns, during both bull and bear markets.  New risks in the economy continue to emerge, keeping investors on edge. That is why its more important than ever

Without a doubt, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) is the most famous American electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer. However, I invite you to consider investing in Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) stock as well as Tesla stock. This will diversify your portfolio, but there are other reasons to take a share position in Rivian. For one thing, Rivian Automotive hasn’t already grown into

Robotics and automation are a necessity for the future. Be it for operational efficiency or cost controls, companies are going to adopt automation. It’s estimated that the industrial robotics market will be worth $60.56 billion by 2030. The healthcare robotics market specifically is expected to be worth $58.2 billion by 2030. The growth of robotics

Blue-chip stocks are always profitable or on the verge of entering the black, and the Street is currently in love with profitable companies. In my own portfolio, nearly all of the stocks of profitable companies have climbed significantly in 2023, and the reverse is true for the unprofitable firms whose shares I own. I believe

At 3.7%, inflation remains an issue. While consumer prices have come down from their peak of 9.1% in June 2022, the inflation rate in the U.S. remains well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% annualized target. And although markets are not expecting any further interest rate hikes from the central bank, there is no guarantee that

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) is among the dividend-paying energy stocks I think investors should focus on now. The company’s long history of dividend payments, rising distributions, and active share buybacks make XOM stock one of the top mega-cap stocks I think is overlooked. In late 2022, Exxon increased its buyback program from $30 billion to $50

As the worldwide effort towards cleaner energy persists, hydrogen companies and clean energy stocks appear increasingly potent. A 9.2% CAGR is predicted for the hydrogen industry until 2030, which could pick up in the following years. Hydrogen’s high energy per mass means that learning to harness it efficiently and sustainably could be highly beneficial. Despite

Millionaires, by investing in equities, are not made overnight. It takes years of grinding in the form of research that a high level of patience should back. Daily news and temporary headwinds tend to distract investors. That’s when conviction and patience play a critical role. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was the first trillion-dollar Company; others have followed.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL,NASDAQ:GOOG) stock has tumbled sharply, due to the market overreacting to negative news. The latest occurrence of the phenomenon, which I’ll refer to as GOOG’s “fair-weather pattern,” occurred following the company’s latest earnings release. So, what is the relevance of this “pattern” to existing and/or news investors in GOOG stock? While it may be

This is an amazing week to consider biotech stocks. Big news by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (which we’ll get to momentarily) shows the benefits and outsized gains you can enjoy by choosing the right biotech stock. Biotech companies have the potential to be big winners because of their very nature. They’re at the

Many people know Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) as a place to buy products online in practically every category. Yet, the company is also a cloud king with its Amazon Web Services business. Plus, Amazon deploys artificial intelligence in some of its services. So, while AMZN stock isn’t necessarily ultra-cheap, it gets a “B” grade and could move higher in 2024.

Without contest, Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) is the best artificial intelligence (AI) stock on the current market. No matter how you slice it, Nvidia has the best chips for AI and machine learning at this point. And undeniably, the company has done the work to get to where it is today and deserves the accolades.  But tremendous

There has been plenty of noise surrounding electric vehicle (EV) stocks lately. Sentiment ricochets between proclamations of booming growth one day to proliferating fears about slowing EV sales the very next quarter. There’s also plenty of debate around the competitive set within this sector, particularly between EV juggernaut Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and upstart Rivian (NASDAQ:RIVN). Let’s
