Your investing journey has to begin somewhere. For those of us who aren’t trust fund babies, we need to start with more modest sums. Putting $1,000 into the market at the beginning simply means it will take us longer to achieve our goals. It doesn’t mean we don’t invest in the stock market for annual

Based on my experience, I believe that young people often are early adopters of products and companies that end up being wildly successful. Two of the best examples of millennial stocks skyrocketing thanks to attention from the younger generations are Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). Apple became one of the most successful stories in the

With another strong jobs report in the bag, the concept of targeting consumer staples stocks might seem overly cautious. Here’s the thing: nothing lasts forever. Last year, an alarming statistic pointed out that 93% of homebuyers have regrets about purchasing a home in 2023. That’s the real issue that investors need to be aware of.

At first glance, another gangbusters jobs report seems to imply that dividend stocks are irrelevant. It’s all about growth, baby! Well, maybe not. According to The Wall Street Journal, labor market growth continues – that’s the good news. However, the not-so-great news is that there are signs of a cooling employment arena. One of the

After closing out 2023 with a 15.1% gain, the Russell 2000 looks even better this year in the new year. In fact, since Jan. 2, the index is up about 4% year to date, and could push even higher, taking some of the most undervalued Russell 2000 stocks along for the ride. According to Goldman

With artificial-intelligence-related semiconductor stocks flying into low-earth orbit, you may be left wondering if there are alternative opportunities in the space. There are – and they enjoy the highest level of endorsement among Wall Street analysts. We must start, though, with a word of caution. Thanks to the stratospheric rise of companies like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA),

Alcohol stocks fall into the consumer staples sector for their defensive attributes. It’s not that people “need” their products, but they tend to buy them no matter the state of the economy. Not surprisingly, brewers delivered outsized earnings growth of 32.4 when compared to the earnings growth of the overall consumer staples sector.   However,

Growth stocks have been on a tear over the past year and a half – that’s if you put them all in the same basket. If you invested in Big Tech, AI, or SaaS, you’d likely be sitting on some massive gains right now. However, while the rising tide has lifted many boats, not all

Building a stock investment portfolio isn’t easy. One moment, you are tempted to wait for a dip, and another, you want to give in to the temptation of buying a stock at a premium with the hopes that it will generate strong returns. While it is impossible to time the market, it makes sense to

In 2021, meme stocks, led by GameStop (NYSE:GME), created seismic shifts in the investment landscape.

These companies trade at cheap valuations for a reason: namely, they have limited operating histories and there is a significant amount of speculation involving their future trajectories.

Investing for dividend stocks for passive income requires a fundamentally different set of expectations than chasing short-term gains. As such, I want to discuss my investing philosophy when it comes to buying dividend stocks for passive income. For starters, I prefer to position my dividend savings in treasury bonds.

Looking for electric vehicle stocks to buy? There’s much handwringing going on here. Concerns are rising that consumers have lost interest in battery-powered cars, trucks, and SUVs.

Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear in recent months following the release of its first major product for generative AI end-users. AMD stock is up over 80%, but the rally may not be over given that there are even stronger catalysts ahead. AMD’s MI300 processor will boost the company’s performance. These
