Although extremely risky, penny stocks can provide tactical value to a portfolio. The risk of losing it all is very real. Also, one should be willing to cut one’s losses if necessary. Careful company selection, heavy active management, and a good dose of luck could triple one’s initial investment. Let’s explore three companies that have
Many people saw the post-pandemic world as a period in which we’d see life gradually returning to normal, with digital nomads slowly returning to their offices.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) maker Nio (NYSE:NIO) seems like it should be doing better than it is. Sales are growing, it’s developing new, specialized chips for its cars and it has an innovative battery-swap business that it might just spin off into a stand-alone company. In China’s fast-growing EV market, that should spell success —
The New York Times published an article on December 11 about how Corporate America is testing the limits of its pricing power. I love the premise.

This past year was great for investors. Granted, there were some bumps and bruises along the way, with inflation, rising interest rates, a regional banking crisis and troubling geopolitical issues. But there was also plenty to get excited about and even more to get excited about with turnaround stocks in 2024. The Nasdaq, for example, gained
The trillion-dollar market cap club is currently dominated by the tech sector. But will two traditional retail giants eventually find themselves among this rarefied crowd? Walmart (NYSE:WMT) and Costco (NASDAQ:COST) still have a ways to go before they approach a trillion dollars. And they remain dwarfed by e-commerce leader Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), which has a $1.6
The economy has been “on fire” following the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. With GDP growth at 4.9% in Q3’23 and unemployment easing to 3.7% by November 2023, consumers have started to regain some spending power. And, with the holiday season closing, we might see another uptick in consumer spending. As investors, we want to search for companies
Investing in renewable energy stocks presents an opportunity for environmentally conscious investors seeking outsized returns. Companies operating in the solar, wind, and hydrogen sectors are seeing rapid growth as the global economy transitions to cleaner energy sources.

With the U.S. presidential election just months away, cannabis could be a hot button issue. For one, according to a recent Gallup poll, about 70% of U.S. adults say cannabis should be legal. Two, U.S. governors are strongly urging President Biden to reschedule cannabis, which could easily send cannabis stocks screaming higher. In fact, in a letter, several
It’s been an interesting year for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) company C3.ai (NYSE:AI), to say the least. Even though the market was obsessed with machine learning in 2023, AI stock made big moves in both directions.

Battery stocks should be on every investor’s radar. These companies have great upside potential and are helping us transition to a carbon-free energy model.

With Chinese electric-SUV maker Li Auto (NASDAQ:LI) selling more EVs in China than Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and LI stock trading at a rather attractive valuation, LI stock is clearly a buy in my book. Also noteworthy is that Li is already profitable, unlike most EV startups. Also, a recent, investment by a Middle Eastern firm in
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock has been on a tear thus far in December. After making a relatively big move during November it continues its assent. As a result, this AI chip contender has hit a new 52-week high. To many, it may seem as if shares could keep rallying, with the stock re-hitting its
On Dec. 1, I argued that SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ:SOFI) stock was a buy. Mainly, because the market’s near-term concerns about SOFI stock had resulted in shares falling to a price that was more-than-reasonable compared to this neobank’s long-term prospects. Soon after laying out the bull case, sentiment for SOFI shifted rapidly. Within weeks, shares surged
Electric vehicle manufacturer Nio (NYSE:NIO) had a challenging year in 2023. China’s uneven recovery from Covid-19, waning EV demand and fierce competition in the new-energy vehicle space created problems for Nio. Looking ahead to 2024, investors shouldn’t expect any miracles and NIO stock only deserves a less-than-stellar “D” grade. As you may recall, Nio posted a 4,556.7 million RMB
This wasn’t a blockbuster year for folks who invested in Lucid Group (NASDAQ:LCID) stock. The prospects for Lucid Group next year aren’t promising.
