Stocks to buy

Investors are clearly concerned about the current macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop. Recent inflation-driven events have led us to a precarious place in the markets. Accordingly, with a potential recession on the horizon, few investors may be on the search for high-growth stocks. That makes sense. But, generally speaking, the time to buy beaten-down names is when

With a stressful year behind us, it’s time to buy undervalued stocks, including the seven bargain financial stocks we’ll discuss today. Historically, this industry is known for sizable dividends and strong profitability, especially now with rising interest rates. When combined with attractive entry points, these seven bargain financial stocks could help return solid gains. Even better,

Even though the former House Speaker and leader of the Democrats in the lower chamber of Congress stepped down after 20 years of service, it doesn’t mean that the best Nancy Pelosi stocks to buy lost much of their relevance. Indeed, Internet algorithms consistently point to this topic as one of the most popular regarding

The retail sector could be facing a brighter outlook as signs of positivity have begun to emerge. The economy continues to struggle with inflation and a strong employment market. Those factors have led the Federal Reserve to hike rates at unprecedented speed. But a slowdown in wage growth signals that the Fed’s efforts are having

The remarkable growth in EV stocks seen during 2021 provided investors with an exciting view of the future. Indeed, the Biden administration deserves credit for helping to promote electrification and creating a strong foundation of trust in the space that helped it gain momentum. However, not all electric vehicle companies represent must-buy EV stocks. There was

With dramatic changes materializing in the world in recent years, the risky but compelling case for under-the-radar energy stocks to buy has never been stronger. Fundamentally, if last year’s (and still ongoing) geopolitical crisis taught us anything, it’s that dependency on unreliable partners may deliver short-term gains at the expense of long-term consequences. Of course,

The easiest way to find the best fintech stocks to buy is to examine the holdings of fintech ETFs such as the passively managed Global X Fintech ETF (NASDAQ:FINX) or the actively managed ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKF), America’s best-known fintech ETF due to portfolio manager Cathie Wood’s notoriety. FINX is up 6.2% year to

The financial sector fared poorly in 2022. However, investors of California-headquartered neo-banking firm SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) really took a beating last year. Does it make sense to short-sell SOFI stock, then? Some institutional-grade investors seem to think so, but that’s a risky bet as certain significant events are coming up soon. For folks who like to

Every few days, I read or hear the news that strongly indicates that the U.S. is not going to undergo a recession in 2023. One of the most recent, startling headlines in this category came from Goldman Sachs, which predicted that even the eurozone would not suffer a recession this year. If the eurozone, which has

Among the sub-sectors of the stock market that’s been hit the hardest in 2022, growth certainly leads the pack. Investors who sought out high-growth stocks last year are now focusing on companies with durable competitive advantages, defensive business models, and cash-flow-generating businesses. Makes sense. But in this current downturn, some high-growth stocks have simply become

I would look at some of the best gold stocks to buy if I had to make a call on some attractive investment themes for 2023. The U.S. dollar index peaked at 114.78 in September 2022. This was when the federal reserve was pursuing aggressive contractionary monetary policies. During this time, gold had also trended lower

Under-the-radar stocks to buy are an exciting and daring way to invest. Smart investors understand that under-the-radar stocks have greater potential for significant returns since their undervaluation makes them underpriced compared to their actual promise. Undervalued stocks can offer high growth potential, provided the investor knows both risks and rewards associated with such investments. It

According to a Pew Research poll, 88% of U.S. adults support the legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational purposes. Only 10% oppose it. Therefore, it’s likely only a matter of time before cannabis is federally legalized. So, investors should have some top cannabis stocks to watch on their radar. Late last year, a bipartisan

When thinking about sectors that have a chance to roar back in 2023, financial technology (fintech) may not be the first to come to mind. Still, this may be a time to look for value in these cheap fintech stocks. For one, many of these fintech stocks are now oversold. That means they’re well positioned to

Following a rough outing in 2022, investors seeking to make up for lost time may want to consider the best bargain stocks to buy in Jan.

Investors who want to build a portfolio’s value over time will seek quality companies. Those stocks to buy have thriving businesses with proven returns on their investments. They are not speculations that report incredible revenue growth but lose more money as they get bigger. Stable companies have a positive cash flow. They either retain their

Last year was terrible for the stock market overall, but the energy sector actually performed quite well. Indeed, it was the only segment in the S&P 500 that rose in 2022. While the S&P 500 lost 19.44% of its value in 2022, energy stocks shot up a massive 59%. As a result, I think that these

While it has not produced the big gains seen among other sectors such as energy, healthcare has been a quiet outperformer over the past year. The S&P 500 Healthcare Index is essentially flat over the past 12 months. While that might not sound great, it is a lot better than the 16% decline of the

Last week, I laid out the reasons why the stock market will boom in 2023.  They were varied. Inflation appears to be collapsing. The Fed is going to stop hiking rates.
