Small-cap stocks can be some of the most lucrative investments, if you know where to look. The key is finding quality companies early in their growth cycle before the major gains have already occurred. Many investors chase “meme” stocks for massive returns, but these often suffer from extreme dilution, leaving investors with more risk than
It’s often said that patience is a virtue for investors that often means taking advantage of the stability of blue-chip stocks. However, that virtue can be sorely lacking among investors. In good times, investors are frequently drawn to the next shiny object. And when growth is hard to come by, they can move into
As the world is moving past fossil fuels, a new form of energy needs to replace them. However, today most consumers have to choose between efficiency and sustainability when choosing a form of energy to use. What if I told you there is a way for our energy to be both efficient and sustainable? Hydrogen
There’s no question Warren Buffett has a love affair with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). The billionaire investor built up a position in the tech giant that allowed AAPL stock to account for almost half of Berkshire Hathaway‘s (NYSE:BRK-A)(NYSE:BRK-B) portfolio value. And then Buffett did this. He sold about 10 million shares worth some $2 billion last quarter.
The recent oil price rally has been driven by a confluence of geopolitical events and fundamental factors. Geopolitically, increased risk sentiment in the Middle East and Russia, alongside a surge in global production outages, have played a significant role. Oil stocks have benefited from increased market prices as bulls test key $80 resistance. Drone strikes
Certain stocks are outperforming the market right now. And no, we’re not referring to the mega-cap technology stocks known as the “Magnificent Seven.” There are many other securities that are rising and delivering big gains to shareholders, some of which have nothing to do with artificial intelligence (A.I.), weight loss drugs, or other cutting edge
There are three tech stocks to sell for February. These companies are in the process of a slow decline via slowing fundamentals and weak business models that are not conducive to the long-term gains that investors hope for. Given the rising S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices, which generally signal robust market conditions, investors might expect
Back when digital entertainment originated, parents of that generation – essentially baby boomers – must have balked at the idea of video game stocks. To them, it must have sounded like making money for merely brushing one’s teeth. Considering the wild trend of social media, the boomer’s worst fears (and more) have fully materialized. But
Equity analysts can be a finnicky bunch. While there are some stocks that are universally adored and praised, such as chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), there are many other stocks that are reviled and criticized by analysts. Many companies that were once in the good books of analysts have now been relegated to the dog house. Poor
Battery stocks fuel the green tech revolution, heralding an investment gold rush. They serve as the energy backbone for everything from vehicles to homes and offices while playing a critical in advancing the fast-growing electric vehicle (EV) sector. Consequently, battery technology has become a crucial element in modern investment strategy, positioning itself as a critical
The artificial intelligence (AI) boom isn’t slowing. Instead, more growth is ahead, as AI begins to impact just about every business and person in existence. Better, the AI market is valued at about $100 billion today and could grow to $2 trillion by 2030, according to Next Move Strategy Consulting. All creating massive opportunities for top
In a previous column, which I wrote on Feb. 25 and was published on Feb. 27, I hypothesized that small-cap and mid-cap stocks would rally as they managed to obtain funding despite high interest rates, as the Street generally becomes more upbeat about equities, and as bears gave up shorting small-cap and mid-cap names. On
During periods of high inflation and a hawkish stance on interest rates from the Federal Reserve, investors may be wise to protect their wealth through dividend-paying stocks which will offer regular payouts depending on performance. When utilized effectively, dividend-paying stocks are great for ensuring that portfolios can continue to retain their value even as historically
Don’t look now, but Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang is the 20th wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of $69.7 billion, up $25.7 billion in 2024 due to the 64% year-to-date return of NVDA stock. Except for Mark Zuckerberg, Huang’s increase in 2024 is the second highest, $4.5 billion ahead
The semiconductor market is not just about Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), folks! Undoubtedly, the recent gains posted by the GPU giant have been nothing short of wild. Though investors may be looking to other plays in the semiconductor basket for the next Nvidia, I’m not so sure that anything will be able to catch Nvidia’s crown at
Is it the right time for dip buyers to put China-based electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) on their watch list? Probably not, as the near-term outlook for NIO stock is unclear and it only deserves a “D” grade right now. Granted, Nio has a chance to turn a corner in early March as there’s a significant upcoming event. It’s fine to mark
Among tech investments, the search for the next titan resembles a deep dive into the ocean for pearls. The periodic portfolio shifts toward solid tech contenders with high-yield potential as the digital space evolves. From cybersecurity advancement to disruptive biotech, potential brims for astronomical growth through three decisive picks. The first one’s strategic edge, the
Since January, Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) has bounced back from its all-time lows, yet only slightly. With this, some bottom-fishers may now believe LCID stock is favorably priced, after perhaps becoming oversold following the deflating of the EV stock bubble. A surge to $10 per share is unlikely, with signs pointing to a forecast of $1
Scores of names in “penny stock territory” (stocks trading for $5 or less per share) go unnoticed among the sell-side community, but that doesn’t mean they are completely off their radar. Alongside these more “under the radar” names, are strong buy penny stocks that have received favorable analyst ratings. These include ratings from analysts at
Lucid (NASDAQ:LCID) stock has had a long bumpy ride. Investors eagerly bought LCID shares after its 2021 IPO, raising $4.5 billion for Lucid. Lucid’s Saudi backers provided capital during tough times. However, the new EV maker is far from dethroning Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) or even China’s BYD (OTCMKTS:BYDDY). In Q4 2023, BYD sold 526,409 electric vehicles, while
