Brand power is real. The brand that consumers associate with a company is quantifiable and something valued. For example, Statista claims that Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is currently the world’s most valuable brand and is worth nearly $300 billion. That’s impressive. Of course, much of a brand’s value is tied up in a company’s reputation and the

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock has strong comeback potential, but be careful. Required federal student loan repayments resumed in October, and that’s certainly good news for SoFi Technologies. However, you’ll definitely want to conduct your due diligence on SoFi’s financials before making any investment decisions. October certainly was a good month for SoFi Technologies. For instance, SoFi

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are among the core options for income-based investing. I would go as far as arguing that REITs don’t even have to be located in tax-efficient accounts, as their dividend yields are so substantial that taxes don’t erode their compounding potential. Moreover, some REITs are positioned for solid capital gains after

The recent decision by the Federal Reserve to maintain steady interest rates highlights a complex situation that policymakers are grappling with. Despite the robust performance of the U.S. economy, there is uncertainty at the central bank regarding the tightness of financial conditions necessary to rein in inflation, which still exceeds its 2% target. Fed Chair

China-based electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) can’t seem to catch a break on Wall Street lately. NIO stock is far below its peak price in 2023. However, the market will re-rate Nio sooner or later, and now’s the time to take advantage of low share prices. I’m not claiming that Nio is a perfect company right

SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) excels as a fintech growth stock by offering cost-effective digital financial services. The SOFI stock initially specialized in refinancing student loans but expanded into three segments: lending (student, personal, and home loans), financial services, and a technology platform. The company’s market cap increased from $4.1 billion in October 2022 to $7 billion

In unpredictable financial markets, investors often seek the elusive formula for long-term wealth creation. The stock market, with its enticing prospects and inherent volatility, presents a formidable challenge to those seeking sustained prosperity. Yet, amid the market’s ebb and flow, certain companies have adopted strategies that harness the true power of compounding, steadily building value

Anytime you bring up the concept of “forever stocks,” you’re running the risk of incurring a serious tail risk. Obviously, forever is a long time – long enough for something to go wrong. Still, certain entities stand out because they basically command permanent relevance. To be sure, my ideas for forever stocks are boring –

International companies, especially here in the U.S., don’t get the attention they deserve. They are sometimes overlooked as another alternative to the U.S. market. However, investors should pay greater attention to stocks in other international markets that offer great potential and, most importantly, diversification, which is critical to a robust investment portfolio. Companies located in

Despite the sell-offs in the broader indices like the S&P 500, the potential of aerial car stocks holds steady. These companies are pioneering a new era of aerial transportation. There are numerous possible applications of this technology, ranging from warehouse operations to search and rescue missions. An appealing fact about these flying car stocks is

In my last article on SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock, I discussed renewed bullishness following the release of the fintech/neobank’s latest fiscal results on Oct. 30. So far, a round of post-earnings bullishness has taken shape, albeit moderately. On Oct. 31, the first trading day after Q3 results hit the street, shares rallied by around 8.79%.

In the thrill of bull markets, investors often race to buy the best growth stocks. Conversely, bear markets cast a shadow of hesitation, with investors wary of diving into the downtrend. However, embracing a contrarian view might pave a golden path for long-term future gains. Amid looming economic clouds, the best growth stocks stand as

The outlook for 2024 may be a bit uncertain due to current macroeconomic and geopolitical events, not to mention the whole issue of monetary policy currently being implemented by the United States with the desired inflation targets. Even so, the current market cycle is presenting very good opportunities to position yourself and take the best

In the ever-evolving financial landscape, 2023 has marked a triumphant return for tech stocks. Bouncing back from notable downturns last year, these stocks are now outpacing the broader market. Even as economic momentum slows, investors are flocking to industries flashing long-term growth potential. Moreover, while the allure of innovation tempts many, there’s a hidden gem

It’s easy to understand the allure of penny stocks, particularly for those new to the market. For relatively little money, an investor can control hundreds if not thousands of shares of a company. And if the stock moves up by literally just pennies, you can make huge profits. The problem is that penny stocks are

It’s never too late for a comeback. Some stocks have languished and underperformed for years only to bounce back on evidence that business is back on track and financial results are improving. As Q3 earnings have poured in, several companies that had largely been written off or ignored by investors have surprised to the upside.

The holiday has always been a time for reflection, celebration and gratitude for Americans. This is also a time when investors can buy restaurant stocks that can potentially rise in value during this holiday season as consumers take advantage of deals like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This yearly event has helped companies increase sales

After a sharp sell-off since mid-summer, many investors are looking for the safety of quality, blue-chip stocks. That’s if they haven’t moved over to the relative safety of U.S. Treasury notes. However, more aggressive, risk-tolerant investors may still want to consider penny stocks. If that’s you, there are some options to consider.  One thing you’ll

The online gambling market is booming. In fact, the market is projected to hit $95 billion in revenue this year. By 2027, it could hit $131.9 billion, as noted by Statista. Better, the number of online gamblers could rally to 233.7 million by 2027, too. All of that should create a massive opportunity for the online gambling

It might not be obvious looking at the stock market’s performance lately, but the third-quarter earnings season has been very strong. Despite indices sliding lower throughout October, financial results from corporate America have continued to recover from the sharp downturn seen in 2022. With nearly half of all publicly traded companies having reported their Q3
