The economy is showing strong signs of improvement as we get into the holiday mood. Investment choices are many, but investors with a limited amount need to conduct thorough research. Diversification is the key if you are a beginner and starting with $1,000. This is one of the keys when thinking about the best ways
Low-price stocks are the favorite of retail investors. It’s understandable, as there is scope for diversification even with a small corpus. However, in general, low-price stocks come with big risks.

In 2023, electric vehicle (EV) sales are expected to make up about 9% of auto sales, according to Atlas Public Policy, as noted by the Associated Press. That’s up from 7.3% in 2022. It’ll be the first time more than a million EVs have been sold in the country in a single year. In China, EVs made up

When many investors often think of growth stocks, it’s the mega-cap tech giants that dominate the discussion. That’s for good reason. Many top tech stocks have outperformed the market for a long time. So, investors are loading up on market cap weighted index funds to capture these returns.

The hotel and hospitality industry took a serious beating during the Covid-19 pandemic. U.S. hotel market valuations dropped from $222.26 billion in 2019 to a measly $127 and $171.1 billion.
