Despite the sharp slide in biotech stocks during 2022, the industry is still poised for mega growth. Pandemic preparedness needs better vaccines and disease detection methods. An aging population needs new drugs and new ways to use them. Plus, new technologies like CRISPR have given scientists the tools they need to make this all happen. The

Even as market commentators debate whether the stock market can continue making a comeback this year, it’s best not to sit on the sidelines.

Although the implosion of the equities sector in 2022 particularly impacted the technology sphere – and thus caused mass layoffs – certain tech stocks to buy may offer compelling discounts.

Cannabis hasn’t been legalized at the federal level just yet. But give it time. With more U.S. states and countries worldwide legalizing its use, it’s only a matter of time. Accordingly, I think it’s also only a matter of time before cannabis stocks begin to see higher highs. According to a Pew Research poll, 88% of U.S. adults support
There’s little doubt that electric vehicles will be dominant in the future. In California last quarter, plug-in vehicles accounted for 24% of all light vehicles sold, and 21% of all light vehicles sold were pure EVs. With the federal government heavily incentivizing the purchase of EVs through the tax code, and spearheading the development of
When it comes to growth stocks, the gold investment opportunity is still not lost.

American industry is back. Accordingly, investors are increasingly looking at U.S. industrial stocks as a place to invest in this difficult market.

Holding shares of IBM (NYSE:IBM) isn’t the most obvious way to invest in artificial intelligence (AI).

Sitio Royalties (NYSE:STR) may not be a household name, but if you’re looking for high-quality energy plays, STR stock is a great choice.

Since at least 2020, I have recognized the tremendous power of artificial intelligence to change our world in general and companies’ financial results in particular. My belief in the power of AI led me to recommend and, in some cases, buy the shares of Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), Stem (NYSE:STEM), iCAD (NASDAQ:ICAD), Micron (NASDAQ:MU),
Since the biotech bonanza of the pandemic era, many biotech stocks have rocketed up and then down in price. Ginkgo Bioworks (NYSE:DNA), Twist Bioscience (NASDAQ:TWST), and Amyris (NASDAQ:AMRS) all fell more than 75% from peak to trough, and may still have farther to fall. Still, improving monetary outlook and bold new ideas means these are
Streaming media stocks gained tremendously in value during the pandemic years. For instance, shares of streaming giant Netflix saw an 85.6% bump in price from 2020 to 2021, comfortably outperforming the broader market.
