Stocks to buy

2023 could easily be the year when Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) stock roars back. For years, Alibaba and other technology companies have faced a difficult regulatory environment in China. Plus, it seemed that Ant Group, Alibaba’s fintech affiliate, was in the crosshairs of Chinese authorities. Yet, the crackdown may be coming to an end, or at least relaxing

At the rate things are going, a recession is likely. All thanks to the Federal Reserve, which once tried — laughably — to convince us inflation was transitory. Now, as they try to get that “transitory” inflation under control, they’re aggressively hiking interest rates, which has only imperiled the U.S. economy. Prices are still sky-high.

Do you want to know my favorite feeling as an investor? It’s when my stocks crush the market.  Sure, I like to think of myself as a good guy. I root for others. I want the best for everyone.  But I’m also a natural-born competitor. I played college basketball. It’s coded into my DNA to

Both novice and experienced investors should explore some of the appealing, undervalued stocks owned by BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) holdings. The investment company is among the world’s leading asset managers and has survived every recession since its founding in 1988. Not only that, but in less than 35 years, the company has built up its total assets

As much as the market loves electric vehicle upstart Mullen Automotive (NASDAQ:MULN), investors – even those focused on speculative trades – should realize that other, arguably more compelling stocks to buy exist. Don’t get me wrong, I love Mullen, too. So much so that I might buy a portrait of CEO David Michery so that

While electric vehicles are the future, interested investors may actually perform better with lithium stocks that will make you rich in 10 years. Fundamentally, the world doesn’t need that many auto brands, meaning consolidation will materialize. However, the underlying industry will always need lithium, thus boding well for companies extracting this critical resource. Further, the

Last year was terrible for some of the best cloud computing stocks, and for the Cloud Czars whose cash flow built it. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL, GOOG), Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) combined to lose trillions of dollars in market cap. Meta lost more than half its value, and Amazon nearly that. Even

There’s an unrelenting competition to dethrone Tesla, as the world’s most notable EV company. In fact, there are dozens of EV firms and electric vehicle stocks ying for Tesla’s crown. In the U.S., legacy automakers continue to pour significant resources into diversifying their respective product mixes toward electric vehicles. The same is true for other

In the first few weeks of 2023, the rise of risk-on assets (including cryptocurrencies) confirms that you don’t want to make any assumptions about short-squeeze stocks. True, on an elemental basis, securities that attract an unusual volume of bearish pressure point to negative sentiment. Otherwise, the specter of unlimited liability would keep most rational traders

Today’s a really special day for me. That’s because today, I get to unveil the best kept secret on Wall Street – a secret that could help you make big money in any market.  The story here is pretty simple.  About a year-and-a-half ago, my team of Caltech quants and I started to get a

Last year was rough for the stock market, but that doesn’t mean that all stocks should be avoided. Many names have fallen sharply over the last 18 months, and that has given investors an opportunity to focus on blue-chip stocks that have excellent, long-term outlooks. These safe stocks have a long history of success and

In any market condition, it’s important to hold dividend stocks in one’s portfolio. These stocks provide regular cash inflow and, if valuations are attractive, meaningful capital gains. With market conditions remaining relatively bearish, some of the best dividend stocks trade at attractive valuations. These stocks can potentially deliver robust total returns. I also want to

The search for undervalued growth stocks is on, with the stock market seeing nice upside so far to kick off 2023. While not much in terms of the macroeconomic environment has changed, there are reasons for improved optimism among investors. Indeed, the declines seen in many sectors last year could pave the way for outsized

Without a doubt, inflation is decelerating in America, as the country’s Consumer Price Index actually declined 0.1% in December compared with November. If inflation continues to sink, several sectors whose performances are heavily influenced by consumers’ spending power and/or interest rate levels should outperform going forward. In this column, I will identify a number of those sectors

It’s been a roller coaster ride for airline stocks in recent weeks. Most notably, the Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV) debacle made investors think about other airline stocks to buy. On Jan. 11, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) grounded all domestic flights after its Notice to Air Missions system failed. The glitch in the system kept planes

Quantum computing stocks hold incredible promise for long-term investors. In terms of what the future of computing will look like, and the future performance of computers, this is a space many long-term investors continue to hone in on. Rather than traditional binary-based bits, these quantum computing companies rely on qubits that can store and calculate

Electric vehicle stocks have witnessed a deep correction in the last few quarters, but the best EV stocks to buy will recover from the factors that held them back. Factors include overvaluation, supply chain concerns, inflation, and a potentially weak macroeconomic environment in 2023. Intensifying competition has also impacted valuations, but it is the nature

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) continues to dominate digital commerce and e-commerce stocks. In 2019, the company accounted for 46.1% of all e-commerce sales in the U.S. By 2021, that share had risen to 56.7% as the pandemic forced consumers to stay indoors giving the company a potent catalyst.  But in mid-2022, the numbers shifted as retailers continued

CRISPR could revolutionize the way we treat thousands of diseases.  Many of these diseases occur when mutations affect genes, or when people have the wrong amount of genetic material,  the Cleveland Clinic reported. Fortunately, CRISPR, or clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, has the potential to treat most, if not all of these illnesses. In

The overall stock market may not be out of the woods when it comes to high inflation, high interest rates, and slowing economic growth, but that doesn’t mean it’s best to stay on the sidelines completely. Certain types of stocks could outperform in 2023. When it comes to the best penny stocks right now, many
