What goes up must come down. Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) investors have learned that the hard way this week. The semiconductor giant’s stock has tumbled about 10% in the past five days due to concerns about President Joe Biden’s crackdown on the sale of artificial intelligence chips to China. Nvidia is a leading player in the world
Nasdaq stocks generally equate to higher-growth, technology-dominated firms in the eyes of most investors. The index is generally more rate-sensitive than leading indexes like the Dow and the S&P 500. This growth has led to the rise of the best Nasdaq stocks to buy.

Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ:RIVN) has seen its stock price surge more than 20% year-to-date. However, this move follows a significant correction last year tied to the company’s cash burn and dilutive stock offerings, reminiscent of a similar history behind industry juggernauts such as Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Rivian currently offers three models, its RS1 and RT1 pickup trucks
With market uncertainty practically being the only form of certainty available, investors should consider dividend aristocrats. By definition, companies under this category belong in the S&P 500 index which consistently raises their dividends for at least the past 25 years.

One of the big slogans favored by CNBC pundit Jim Cramer is, “There’s always a bull market somewhere.” I believe that’s true. But I think there’s also always a bear market somewhere. That’s because, even during good times, companies are always being hurt by new technologies, tough competition, and/or weak products. Additionally, there are always stocks whose
Upstart (NASDAQ:UPST) provides a platform that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline and (hopefully) improve the lending process. Some folks might want to buy UPST stock because they envision a robust future for this type of technology.

In recent months, Chinese electric-vehicle maker Nio’s deliveries and automotive revenues (NYSE:NIO) have been dropping sharply amid intensified competition from Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers. Moreover, Nio lacks a significant competitive advantage, and the company’s new smartphone could hurt the automaker more than help it. Given these points, I advise investors not to buy or
PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) remains the leader of the fintech space while it continues to increase and is still quite profitable. Moreover, PYPL stock trades at bargain-basement levels and has a new, up-and-coming CEO. Additionally, I believe the Street is overly worried about threats to PayPal’s dominance. Given all these points, growth-at-a-reasonable price (GARP) investors should buy
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) isn’t a company that’s all about the metaverse, no matter what the company’s brass would have you believe about its name change and shift in identity. Rather, this is still a social media juggernaut, that happens to be a major player in generative AI. The metaverse, or the world of virtual and

Heck, since just the beginning of last year the benchmark index has dipped into bear market territory on three separate
In a dynamic investment landscape where financial stability and consistent returns are prized, the allure of dividend aristocrats is undeniable.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) was once a highly promising business. However the near-term outlook isn’t great for LCID stock. Lucid Group might have visually interesting vehicles, but if it can’t sell enough, it’s going to be awfully difficult for Lucid to stage a turnaround in the fourth quarter. Furthermore, Lucid Group has ambitions in a country far
Business is great at Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), but NVDA stock is looking just a bit ragged. For the first time in years, a move up didn’t hit the old high. The August peak of $493/share was followed by an October peak of $469. But even that looks far off from the $429/share it was trading at
