This robust growth was driven by consumer spending, a healthy labor market and a sense of financial security among consumers. Concerns about a U.S. GDP

One of the biggest worries for Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and other coffee purveyors is the state of coffee itself. Without the coffee bean, it has no business, and SBUX stock is worthless.  Nobody wants that. At least not the company’s executives in Seattle. So, to maintain a product supply threatened by climate change, Starbucks is developing

I last wrote about ChargePoint Holdings (NYSE:CHPT) stock in February 2022 ahead of its Q4 results. Given its stock had lost 55% over the past year, it couldn’t afford any bad news. In the 20 months since my article, its shares have lost 82% of their value.

Many blue-chip stocks in the

The electric vehicle (EV) sector is undoubtedly a very new area for us today, but that does not mean it is not a completely profitable sector for us as investors. Of course, being a new sector in the market may mean we incur risks from unknown companies or perhaps those just starting. But if you

Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and other emerging innovations that reshape our lives and economies remain a focal point for investors seeking robust growth. With top tech stocks constantly innovating, allocation to the sector is mandatory. However, rapid innovation also causes massive disruption.

In today’s market, marked by a market correction and wide bearish sentiment, investors are flocking to low-risk, low(ish)-reward assets like treasuries. Fixed-income strategies like bond ladders offer more yield than they have in decades. At the same time, stocks are sliding and real estate is slumping. It’s no wonder investors are flying to safety and

Despite being an unimpressive year for battery stocks, positive industry tailwinds for electric vehicle stocks and their energy sources will last well beyond this decade. Therefore, the correction in battery stocks makes now a good time to consider fresh exposure, especially since several developments are presently happening in the battery space. The most anticipated is

Wagering on dividend growth stocks offering yields of 4% to 8% can harmonize income with capital appreciation potential. However, the tempo of sustainability is imperative to consider as you look to scrutinize the payout ratio, growth prospects, and the firm’s financial health. A high yield might be a false crescendo, signaling deeper issues in earnings

The intensified attacks due to the war between Hamas and Israel are making investors reach for the safety rails should the market tank. Market participants should constantly adapt portfolios to the market environment to so that our earnings remain unscathed

Cannabis stocks will eventually see higher highs — with patience. Right now, we’re waiting to see if the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) takes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) advice to remove cannabis as a Schedule I drug, which could boost related stocks. We’re also waiting to see if there will be any potential progress

These aren’t the usual names tied to artificial intelligence (AI) or weight loss drugs that have enjoyed big runs year-to-date.

Last quarter alone, more than 300,000 EVs were sold in the United States. This indicates the growing increase in demand for environmentally-friendly vehicles. In 2025, its expected that EV sales will account for half of

Over the past 100 years, the stock market has proved to be the best way to build wealth. Even through recessions, depressions, and world wars, growth stocks generate better returns than any other asset class. Not gold, bonds, real estate, or even, more recently, cryptocurrencies. Particularly when the stocks are in the grip of a

Growth stocks are an excellent way for investors to create generational wealth in the stock market. The world constantly evolves, meaning new companies will continue to emerge to solve its most pressing problems.  Technological advancements in energy, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence provide tremendous opportunities for outsized returns.

When investors think of Bill Gates stocks, they inevitably come up with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), the software company he co-founded with Paul Allen in 1975 in Albuquerque. However, as Gates has spent less time around Microsoft’s business, the billionaire has significantly diversified his investment portfolio. Gates stepped down as CEO of Microsoft in January 2000. At

The market selloff that began in August is accelerating, with the technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index having fallen into correction territory, which means it is down over 10% from its peak reached earlier this year. The Nasdaq officially entered a correction on Oct. 25 when it declined 2.4% to 12,821.22, bringing it 12% lower than its

One of the New York Yankees’ most well-known players’, Yogi Berra, famous for his strange, yet funny statements, used to say, “This is deja vu all over again.” That’s how I feel about U.S. stocks at this point. In many ways, the current environment feels like 2022, when most economists and Street investors were sure

Solid-state batteries are a promising technology that could eventually revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) market. Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one, which offers several advantages such as higher energy density, faster charging, and improved safety. This has led to the rise of solid-state battery stocks to

After rallying 20% higher over the first seven months of 2023, the S&P 500 is poised to enter correction territory.
