Blue-chip stocks are known and admired for their consistency. Like their eponymous poker chips, these companies provide dependable revenue and earnings. They’re also known for paying reliable dividends that offset stock price movement that is usually in line with the market.

This year, stock markets have experienced growth, although not uniformly. Some stocks are recovering, while others are still declining or stagnating. However, unexpectedly many overvalued blue-chip stocks that have consistently outperformed the market in the past decade are now underperforming. These are well-known companies that people encounter in their everyday lives. Because of various internal
Shares in China-based electric vehicle maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) appeared to be on the verge of a rebound in late March, but this month, NIO stock has fallen back into a slump.

If there’s an arms race in generative artificial intelligence, Google parent Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) definitely isn’t in the lead position. It’s going to be very difficult for Alphabet to catch up to Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) in that area, and value-conscious investors should be cautious about GOOG stock in 2023. Microsoft is integrating generative AI technology quickly and effectively
With rising economic concerns, investors may want to consider gold stocks, particularly as it seems the smart money is loading up on the yellow metal. Most notably, in my opinion, unusual stock options volume indicators have been picking up bullishly aberrant trades for gold-related call options. In other words, the big players are placing massive
While 2022 represented the year that saw inflation spike higher, the subsequent monetary tightening actions by the Federal Reserve cooled demand for the best stocks for inflation. However, a surprise threat from abroad – namely, the oil production cuts by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-member oil-producing nations – risk sending
With fears rising regarding a hard landing for the economy, investors may want to consider safe stocks to buy. Specifically, during the week ending March 22, Yahoo Finance reported that depositors drained $126 billion from U.S. banks.

AI stocks have dominated the financial headlines in 2023. By now, you’re familiar with how artificial intelligence could change every aspect of our lives.

Thanks to the surprise production cuts from the alliance between the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-member oil-producing nations — known as OPEC+ — oil stocks to buy suddenly got extremely compelling.

Penny stocks to buy have been the talk of the town in recent weeks as cyclical assets have started to make a comeback this year. Penny stocks tend to perform poorly during market downturns. The sell-off that began in late 2021 and the ensuing bear market in 2022 were not kind to penny stocks, as
So far, 2023 has been great year for growth stocks. For one, it seems that the Federal Reserve’s rate hiking campaign is approaching its limits.

Many investors believe a recession is imminent. Indeed, there are many reasons for such a view, which makes searching for the best stocks to buy in this environment difficult. Inflation is high, interest rates are on the rise, geopolitical concerns remain and the yield curve is steeply inverted. The last factor, yield curve inversion, is
Inflation concerns and continuous interest rate hikes have left investors worried and anxious. The Federal Reserve has been raising the federal funds rate for many months now. In March it raised the interest rate by 0.25%, which was its ninth consecutive increase. Rising interest rates can be challenging but smart investors know where to park
With a yield of 5%, Certificate of Deposits (CODs) are some of the safest investments to consider.
