Stocks to buy

Is inflation rising? The answer depends upon how you look at the most recent Consumer Price Index data that was released on Sept. 13. Year-over-year, headline inflation reached 8.3% in August. That was better than the 8.5% YOY jump in July. That fact will placate very few. But investors can still make money by buying

Back in August, I made the argument why now’s the right time to buy safe stocks. Just over a month later, this continues to be the case. The volatility and uncertainty that has rocked the stock market so far in 2022 doesn’t show many signs of letting up anytime soon. The Federal Reserve continues to

Just a few months ago, the U.S. Senate passed a landmark piece of legislation. And it set the stage for a particular group of stocks to soar 75X over the next several years. That may sound hyperbolic. But it’s true. And since that legislation passed, those stocks have been soaring. And that’s even as the

With the world’s most powerful central bank committed to tackling soaring prices, it may be time for investors to consider specific stocks to buy for falling inflation. Here’s the reason why forward-looking market participants anticipate lower prices over the next several months. In late August, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell delivered his policy speech at

The best nuclear energy stocks represent companies that have a future as world seems to be fast approaching an energy crisis. Oil prices soared during the better part of the year, while natural gas prices are rising on fears over supply constraints heading into the winter. Some experts claim that nuclear energy is perhaps critical

Anti-aging stocks have not proven immune to poor market conditions that have plagued the broader biotech industry. The biotech industry remains hampered by the same bleak economic conditions as those affecting growth companies. As a result, the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (NYSEARCA:XBI) have fallen 16.5% and 23.5%, year to date (YTD),

September is a notably poor month for investing. In fact, the trend is so well known that it has been dubbed the September Effect. The data supports the notion with the S&P 500 averaging a 1% decline in the month from 1928 to 2021.  That’s the bad news.  The good news is that as time

For many investors, 2023 can’t come soon enough. The S&P 500 is down 16.93% for the year and the Nasdaq is down over 25%. It has been an equal opportunity selloff. So unless you were in one of the best market sectors, it’s likely your portfolio is in the red. But there’s still one more

I’m on the hunt for blue-chip stocks to buy for safety in this volatile market. The problem is the definition of what makes a company blue chip varies. Some believe it’s consistent and increasing dividends. Others look to bottom-line profits or rock-solid balance sheets. In other words, it’s subjective.  Rather than spend excessive time settling

Some people seem to believe that “the market” is all-knowing. But that’s far from the case. In fact, “the market” often greatly overestimates and underestimates companies. Because of the latter phenomenon, it’s quite possible to identify stocks under $2 that can, in a few years, rocket to $20 or even higher. If you’re looking for

Until the summer of 2022, most financial traders didn’t spend much time thinking about 1life Healthcare (NASDAQ:ONEM) stock. They’re definitely paying attention now, though, as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is preparing to merge with 1life Healthcare. The merger deal’s not finalized yet, though. Therefore, sensible investors might choose to accumulate a few shares of ONEM stock but also

Some may be trying to call a bottom with stocks, but many more believe the rout could continue. With this, it’s best to stay cautious. Instead of diving into more speculative stocks, stick with the best bear market stocks instead. What do I mean when I say, “bear market stocks?” Stocks that perform well during

Although the tail end of the third quarter brought some unwanted volatility to the market, forward-thinking investors might want to use this time to strategize undervalued stock picks. One of the primary benefits of this approach is that such securities may not have that much further to correct. That would appeal to risk-averse investors who

July brings a busy earnings season to Wall Street. Amidst fears of an impending recession, investors are increasingly looking for value stocks with sound fundamentals. For instance, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) suggests the value rotation play has been at its highest level in four years. Meanwhile, ETF Trends writes, “value equities are trouncing their rivals this year, and while the

In a situation that appears to be unprecedented, the U.S. is now in cold wars with two other, major powers: Russia and China. And given the huge importance of technology in today’s world, America is also fighting a tech cold war with both of those nations. The struggle has multiple components. Washington is taking steps

As we head into the year’s second half, the U.S. stock is off to its worst start in over 50 years. The S&P 500 index has had its weakest showing since 1970, as the Federal Reserve continues raising interest rates to fight inflationary pressures.
