Known for her appetite for relatively risky tech-based stocks, Cathie Wood has become an icon on Wall Street. The founder of ARK Investment Management, Wood has accumulated a net worth of $220 million and built a reputation owing to her knack for identifying high-potential innovation-focused stocks.  Wood was recognized as Wall Street’s best stock picker

Prospects for interest rate cuts are fueling speculations about which small-cap stocks will be winners when they hit. Because smaller companies don’t have the same financial access as larger stocks, they are forced to borrow money at higher cost, which impacts their ability to grow. More often than not, they will hunker down instead of

CNBC’s Jim Cramer was asked about SoFi Technologies (NYSE:SOFI) in a mid-June episode of Mad Money. The veteran investor said he’d have to wait on SOFI stock.  “Right now, that last quarter was not great. I just didn’t like it. And I’m going to have to wait,” Benzinga reported Cramer’s comments on June 17.  I

Following last night’s presidential debate, President Joe Biden has just a 19% chance of reelection. Betting odds show that former President Donald Trump has pulled far ahead. Here’s where things get interesting. It appears that no sector has been more sensitive to which party has presidential power than technology. If, over the next few months,

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL) is trading above $185 per share and breaking all-time highs. On one hand, the solid business fundamentals justify the rapid rise Alphabet stock has enjoyed. However, I’m also avoiding Alphabet stock because it’s unclear how it will do in the artificial intelligence race and the soon-to-be decisions from Federal Trade Commission trials,

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) plans to incorporate many artificial intelligence features into some of its products this fall. Specifically, the tech giant will provide AI-powered “writing assistance, image creation and editing” assistance, along with increased capabilities for Siri.  The updates will be limited to the “iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, as well as iPads and Macs with M1

If you think you’ve already discovered every artificial intelligence stock, think again. Many investors haven’t even heard of Nauticus Robotics (NASDAQ:KITT), but they’re missing out on an interesting opportunity. After conducting your full due diligence, you just might decide to add a few Nauticus Robotics stock shares to your portfolio. As you can probably surmise,

You probably won’t be too impressed with Faraday Future Intelligent Electric (NASDAQ:FFIE) if you’re looking to invest in an electric vehicle manufacturer with rock-solid financials. Faraday Future stock is worth watching, so we’re assigning it a “B” grade as it may be appropriate for a small, speculative portfolio position. After all, you can literally buy a

Data analytics firm Snowflake (NYSE:SNOW) is on a long slide lower. Although it impressively beat analyst expectations by a wide margin, guidance indicated a coming slowdown and profits are still nowhere in sight. As a result, the market is selling off Snowflake stock. Shares are down 35% year-to-date but 46% below its February high. A

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is trading near all-time highs because of the company’s financial blowout year. It breached the $190 barrier after being unable to do so at its peak in 2021 and multiple times this year. With Amazon stock above this resistance, the momentum can keep the stock soaring. However, many are skeptical about Amazon’s valuation.

With the progression of modern medicine, and the continuous discoveries in the realm of gene editing, investing early in the technology could be a game changer for long-term returns if selecting the best gene editing stocks to buy. That’s because unlike more standard therapeutics such as antibiotics, antivirals and vaccines gene editing is a permanent

Sometimes, the best policy is for a company to stick to its core, bread-and-butter market. Ford Motor (NYSE:F) tried to expand into a difficult automotive market outside of the U.S., but without much success. Ford stock investors should insist that the automaker focus on doing what it does best, where it does it best. This

It’s certainly a notable that the CEO of Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG;NASDAQ:GOOGL) lightened his share position. Yet, this shouldn’t be a deal breaker for Alphabet’s investors, and we’re assigning Google stock a fairly confident “B” grade today. Alphabet is not a perfect company. Indeed, Google’s missteps in generative artificial intelligence have been cringe-inducing,

The financial technology (FinTech) industry is forecasted to grow at an annualized rate of 16.5% until 2032, illustrating its potential. However, information about the bulk of financial technology stocks is widely dispensed. As such, most FinTech stocks are either priced in or overvalued. Considering the above, I decided to embark on a journey to find

Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) has rapidly enhanced its offerings with artificial intelligence. Since AI stocks are red-hot on Wall Street, perhaps traders pushed Palantir stock up a little too far and too fast. Still, we’re assigning the stock a “B” grade as Palantir is a financially solid and innovative AI-tech developer. You just never know where and how

Trends come and go, but one in fashion again is stock splits. Two years ago, there was a frenzy of splits in the tech space. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, NASDAQ:GOOGL), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and even Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) all split their stock. But then the phenomenon died down last year. Now, it seems to be rebounding —

Social media site Reddit (NASDAQ:RDDT) has one glaring problem that holds it back from getting ahead. Most of its users don’t log into the platform but simply skim the comments. While that means they can’t create posts or comment on them, most people prefer to just read what others have to say. That’s bad for

Dear investors, utilities stocks are gearing up for a rebound. You better be paying attention. For the last three weeks, the utilities sector has cratered relative to the S&P 500. On one hand, you might think that’s to be expected. Utility stocks are often seen as defensive, boring plays, and many investors are not passionately

Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) stock is considered an also-ran, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD’s (NASDAQ:AMD) chips drawing the eye. But now, there’s an $11 billion equity infusion offered by Apollo that could transform its chip manufacturing process. Plus the $8.5 billion in upgrade funding from the Biden administration. Under the leadership of reinstated CEO Pat Gelsinger, Intel

Given PayPal’s (NASDAQ:PYPL) continued, strong growth and its large user base, along with the low valuation of PayPal stock, I continue to believe that the shares will deliver strong returns over the long term. What’s more, the macroec0omic picture, although far from perfect for the company, should enable it to keep posting fairly strong financial
