Stocks to buy

Investors tend to flock to dividend stocks when uncertain about the market’s outlook. Commonly referred to as “defensive stocks,” these investments appeal to investors seeking consistent payouts over time. Dividends are generally paid quarterly, diverging from day traders’ interests in short-term profits. Thus, these types of stocks often demonstrate stability. With recent market volatility fueling

If you’re searching for stocks to outperform the S&P 500, look no further. Some stocks are more solid than others against market downturns and macro-economic uncertainty and have high chances of beating the S&P 500 index.

Wall Street has been witnessing the rapid transformation of the technology sector. Advancements in artificial intelligence, EVs and renewable energy have put the focus back on many tech stocks. Meanwhile, rare earth metals have become increasingly crucial for technology. These elements are part of modern innovation, from powering our smartphones and EVs to enabling solar

Not too long ago, analysts and early adopters touted the technology of 3D printing as the future of manufacturing. Then came market corrections and concerns surrounding the feasibility of long-term pure-play 3D printing companies. Further damaging the industry, the advent of 3D-printed guns and other contraband items began to raise concerns regarding the ethicality of

The U.S. economy is in a precarious situation at the moment — an unusual balance between rampant inflation and investor confidence. However, to cool down inflation, policymakers are hinting at not lowering interest rates. Indeed, economists are being faced with a problem, having to balance fiscal and monetary policy to lower inflation while avoiding a

AI stocks have cooled off significantly over the past few weeks due to bearish macroeconomic reports. GDP growth came in slower than expected, and inflation data came in slightly hotter than expected. Thus, I do think that you should consider shifting a lot of your growth gains into defensive stocks and other dividend stocks that can withstand a correction if

Adoption of 5G technology has admittedly been slower than many analysts expected with user levels remaining lower than the mainstream 4G and 3G connections around the world. Even so, 5G is the radio frequency technology of choice for US telecom companies with some talks about the next generation of 5G already underway. Moreover, it is

AI stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) dominate the market with top-of-the-line chips that power the newest, most exciting AI software like ChatGPT. However, these stocks sit at a relatively high valuation, given the attention they have gathered from investors with recent performances.  While there is certainly something to be said about their continued

The S&P 500 index had touched highs of $5,275 towards the end of March. However, there has been some correction in the markets driven by geopolitical tensions coupled with stubborn inflation in the United States. While I remain positive about the market outlook for 2024, I am cautiously optimistic because rate cuts might be delayed.

Google parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG,NASDAQ:GOOGL) just delivered the earnings report that drove Alphabet stock up 10% the day after its first-quarter print was announced, bringing its year-to-date gain to 25%. GOOGL stock rebounded after setbacks with AI products, and Alphabet’s Q1 earnings redeemed itself. Alphabet stock is now at an all-time high and the company’s

Artificial intelligence (AI) remains a hot topic, with investors’ minds focused on which AI stocks to buy. Despite the volatility risks inherent to the technology sector and recent market declines, investors are still scrutinizing which AI stocks to buy as the field shows growth potential. Although many investors have profited from buying AI stocks, analysts’

When former Toyota (NYSE:TM) chief Akio Toyoda stated that a “silent majority” of auto manufacturing peers actually questioned the industry’s sharp pivot to electric vehicles (EV), many investors likely groaned in disapproval. It’s one thing to make a personal contrarian bet. It’s quite another when you’re talking about Toyota stock. At the time of the

For penny stocks whose time has come, 100% or 200% returns come in the blink of an eye. This is irrespective of broad market conditions. Within the penny stock space, I ideally like to have two portfolios. First, penny stocks to buy that can surge by 100% in a few weeks or months. Further, penny

Some stocks stand out among the vastness of the stock market as possible opportunities. Their growth derives from emerging trends and game-changing technology. These three millionaire-maker stocks each provide a unique opportunity that has the potential to transform portfolios and release riches. The first is leading the way in expanding into foreign markets and demonstrating

Over time, the stock market is a fortune-building machine. Generational wealth has been created by betting on the long-term growth of stocks and the American economy they represent. Yet it’s never been in a straight line. Having said that, buy these 3 stocks to help build your portfolio. At various points, the market has fallen,

Undoubtedly, investors seem to have a new appetite for next-level revenue growth. Generative AI, GLP-1 weight-loss drugs and other breakthrough innovations (I’m not sure if the metaverse qualifies right now) seek to expand in some pretty massive markets. Some medical technology (med tech) stocks are capable of impressive growth as they aim to improve the

The Defiance Hotel, Airline, and Cruise ETF (NYSEARCA:CRUZ) is up by approximately 25% year-over-year, illustrating the robust growth embedded in cruise stocks. However, what goes up must come down, which is why I believe a minor correction in cruise stocks is due. Moreover, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has slipped by more than 3% month-to-date,

Machine learning is closely related to artificial intelligence. It is a branch thereof which enables computers to emulate human learning. The scientific field arose in the 1950s but has largely remained non-influential in the stock market until very recently.  Artificial intelligence has come to the fore over the past year making machine learning stocks incredibly

Jon Wolfenbarger, a 32-year market veteran warns that despite the seemingly booming U.S. labor market, there are underlying weaknesses that suggest an imminent recession. While the headline numbers show strong job growth and historically low unemployment rates, Wolfenbarger points out that the kind of jobs being added and other economic indicators paint a bleaker picture.

Energy stocks provide investors with an opportunity to diversify their portfolios. A particularly good time to look for energy stocks to buy is during times of inflation. Rising oil and gas prices allow these stocks to act as a hedge. That dynamic can be seen in the performance of the iShares U.S. Oil & Gas
