Stocks to buy

Identifying the next set of growth stocks to buy can be a game-changer for Wall Street portfolios. Investors who buy a growth stock expect the company to grow its revenues and earnings significantly faster than an average industry peer or the overall market. For instance, the Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF Shares (NYSEARCA:VUG) fund has

Despite the stock market being at an all-time high, plenty of bargains remain to be found for investors. The bull rally that began in autumn 2022 is only now starting to broaden out to include utilities, retailers, industrial stocks and other sectors of the economy. It’s no longer just big tech stocks that are marching

In the speculative world of penny stocks, there are always multiple overlooked opportunities to consider. Investing in penny stocks is not without risk, and as I always caution, it should be done responsibly. Nevertheless, there are multiple reasons to believe in the companies discussed below. Broad macroeconomic tailwinds are approaching in the second half of 2024. Signs

A handful of top S&P 500 stocks to buy tend to take the spotlight, many with good reason. Still, companies like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) comprise an increasingly high position in the index’s overall ranking and that is reasonable cause for concern for those prioritizing effective diversification planning. At the same time, plenty of stinkers exist among

Short-squeeze stocks have seen an explosion in interest after the recent Roaring Kitty saga that sent many meme stocks soaring to dizzying heights. Now, before we dive in, I would like to mention that meme stocks are something that are generally best avoided, like the plague.  Yes, certain meme stocks did surge, but the chance of actually timing any sort

Tech stocks have been the needle-mover of the economy for the last two decades. Most can’t argue that the stock market has been supercharged by the sheer dominance of tech companies over this time frame. Calls for a bubble are proliferating, but I do not think we are in a tech bubble right now. The average person spends a significant amount

Investors seeking to build sustainable wealth over the long term regard buy-and-hold stocks as one of the most reliable investment strategies. By focusing on fundamentally strong companies and holding their stocks for extended periods, investors can typically enjoy substantial returns. Meanwhile, they can better mitigate the risks associated with short-term market volatility. The principle behind

Earlier, the Federal Reserve stood poised to cut the benchmark interest rate, which boded well for reliable dividend stocks. Essentially, Uncle Sam’s high yields wouldn’t compete with the passive income stemming from private enterprises. However, the latest reading from the pulse of the labor market shows that fewer Americans are filing for unemployment benefits. Per

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) continues to raise the bar on itself and the rest of the AI scene. When the GPU king went into its latest quarterly earnings, a lot of expectation was built in. Additionally, many investors were eager to look for any traces of hair on the quarter. As it turned out, there wasn’t much

The bull market continues; markets quickly dusted off the 5% correction in April and soared to new highs. With too much cash on the sidelines, every shallow correction has become a buying opportunity. Blue-chip stocks are one way to play this positive momentum. From a historical perspective, the markets are in great shape for continued

There is no joy like receiving passive income each quarter. I am someone who loves to receive dividend income and see my money grow without having to do anything. But money will multiply only if you put it in the right place, and dividend stocks can be an ideal place to start. If you seek steady dividend income and long-term growth, consider the

With the S&P 500 sitting just a few points below setting a new all-time high, the bull market that began in 2022 is still snorting. Although a correction or even a bear market will eventually happen, the market is content to run higher. With the benchmark index up 11% year-to-date (YTD), it is 48% higher

Investors should never chase yield. Buying a dividend stock simply because it offers significantly higher-than-average yields will only set you up for problems. That’s because high-yield stocks often have problems. You can see why this is by looking at how yield is calculated. To find a dividend stock’s yield, you divide the amount of dividends

If you do an internet search for “Melinda French Gates Foundation stock picks,” you won’t find anything besides results about the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust.   That’s likely to change in the months ahead.  A couple of weeks ago, Melinda French Gates announced that she was leaving the foundation she and her now ex-husband

The technology-laden Nasdaq Composite Index is at an all-time high, as corporate earnings come in stronger-than-expected and U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reassures markets that further interest rate hikes are unlikely. The Nasdaq is approaching the 17,000 level after another blockbuster earnings report from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). The market moving print has reignited investor confidence

Fintech is a compound word for financial technology. It refers to innovation in what is traditionally a very slow-to-adapt sector. Today, the sector comprises several blue-chip stocks representing companies that produce everything. Products and services range from back-end technology that makes banks operate more smoothly to consumer apps that facilitate the transfer of funds. However

With the world fighting to go green, it just makes sense to invest in renewable energy stocks to buy. Look at First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR). In early April, I highlighted an opportunity in the solar stock, as it traded at around $163. Today, it’s up to around $277.  All thanks to the news that it is well-positioned

Social media continues to be a force in society and in the business world. The latest industry statistics show that there are 5.17 billion social media users worldwide today. The average person uses seven different social media networks each month, spending, on average, two hours and 38 minutes each day on the platforms and websites.

The stock market is at record highs, but the next bear market could be right around the corner. Investors shouldn’t become complacent and should be looking for the best defensive stocks to buy. According to Statista research department, there is an approximately 58 percent chance that the U.S. economy will fall into a recession over

It may seem risky to look for blue-chip stocks at a 52-week low. After all, most blue chips are renowned for their ability to trade within a stable range and deliver growth. Thus, looking for ones currently performing terribly might not make sense at first glance. However, this is where Warren Buffett’s ideology of “being
