While many are thinking about whether electric vehicle euphoria is dead, EV makers across the globe are ramping up production. The future is EVs; whether you get in on the ride or not, they will rule the road. When we talk about EV stocks, the first company that comes to mind is Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), but over
Crude oil recently hit a four-month high, with the International Energy Agency expecting a supply deficit through 2024. That view is based on the premise that OPEC maintains production cuts. However, this is not the only catalyst for crude oil. There will likely be multiple rate cuts in the next 12 to 18 months. Expansionary
Billionaire investor Carl Icahn developed a reputation as a corporate raider in the 1980s but is better known today as a shareholder activist. He buys large stakes in undervalued companies to push for changes, often through gaining seats on boards of directors. Most recently Icahn won seats on JetBlue Airways (NASDAQ:JBLU) board just days after
Last week, Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) meteoric rise to new all-time highs shifted attention to crypto miner stocks as cryptocurrency inflows rose. Holding crypto miner stocks is seen as another way to profit from a potential ongoing rise in Bitcoin prices. A simple approach is to invest in crypto-related stocks that will likely report higher profits as
There are seven stocks making CEOs lose sleep in March this year, reflecting the immense pressures and challenges facing major corporations across various industries. Some companies are reeling from product safety crises that have shaken consumer confidence while exposing them to staggering litigation risks. Others are struggling with internal culture issues, while more are being
As the broader stock rally broadens to some of the more “boring” corners of the market, it’s the higher-yielding dividend plays that could stand to move higher from current levels. Undoubtedly, a broadening out of the rally would benefit some of the investors who’ve rotated (away from the hottest technology companies into less-loved “value” stocks)
Just days ago, the Department of Energy announced a $750 million investment in 52 U.S. projects that will cut the cost of clean hydrogen and “reinforce America’s global leadership in the growing clean hydrogen industry,” as noted by Energy.gov. All of which should be a sizable catalyst for hydrogen stocks. “The projects are expected to enable U.S.
Imagine attaining the huge feat of converting a $100 investment into a $10K boom. This seems more like a fantasy climax than a real-world possibility. However, tucked away in the maze-like financial markets are three undiscovered gems with the potential to surpass forecasts and yield significant profits. Here are three bargain stocks that might completely
We are often led to believe that outperforming the stock market is a superhuman trait that only those on Wall Street possess. However, such a narrative is simply untrue. In fact, there are numerous investment opportunities available that could see you outperform the market by yourself. As such, I decided to dial in on a
Gold and other commodities are perfect investment options for investors looking to diversify their portfolios. Gold futures are still at near all-time highs of roughly $2,100/oz. With inflation becoming less of a major issue and a strong likelihood that interest rate cuts will occur in the coming months, the price of gold will continue to climb. The VanEck Gold Miners
The big crash in lithium price has translated into lithium stocks trading at a deep valuation gap. It’s difficult to talk about the exact timing for recovery in lithium prices. However, there is no doubt that it’s the best time to buy lithium stocks. Once the reversal rally is underway, lithium stock can potentially skyrocket.
When retirement is far away, investing in growth stocks with captivating long-term catalysts is easier. Investors who can wait 10-15 years before retirement may want to focus on the most promising stocks instead of rushing to assets with more stability and high yields. All the stocks on this list are up by more than 1,000%
When it comes to generative artificial intelligence (AI) investment opportunities, I think the market’s heavyweights get far too much attention. Undoubtedly, firms like those in the so-called Magnificent Seven have the deep pockets to really make huge investments (and acquisitions) in the space. Whether we’re talking about the costs of building new AI models or
If the electric vehicle (EV) boom is going to get off the ground, we need far more EV charging stations. In fact, as I noted on Feb. 12, “The U.S. has just under 130,000 publicly available charging ports at 50,401 charging stations, according to BlinkCharging.com. Yet, when we approach the U.S. goal of half of all
The tech sector is up 12% year-to-date and a remarkable 48% over the past 12 months, powering the broader markets. Particularly, the semiconductor industry is growing, with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) leading the charge; its stock is up around three-fourths this year. The best tech stocks are expected to maintain this momentum, according to Deloitte’s 2024 technology
There are some alternative chip stocks available beyond the marquee names of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Intel (NADAQ:INTC) and the like. The reason I’m bullish on these companies is because they have one thing in common: lower valuations than the mainstream stocks we’re all used to talking about. The stretched valuations of the big semiconductor players is
Energy stocks are heating up, and the sector is poised for a sizzling end to the first quarter. As a leading sector exchange-traded fund (ETF), the Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF (NYSEARCA:FENY) has already jumped 8.0% year-to-date (YTD), outpacing the S&P 500’s 7.2% gain—tight supplies, geopolitical risks and rising global energy demand fuel the sector’s
Two weeks ago, I wrote how Bitcoin’s (BTC-USD) sudden surge was a positive sign for other risky bets. Bitcoin prices are solely determined by what others will pay, and so rising prices is a clear sign of investor bullishness (i.e., greed). That’s why the five recommended stocks and cryptos from that issue have done so
If you’re searching for undervalued quantum computing stocks to add to your portfolio this month, look no further. Never before in human history has technology progressed at the rate seen today.
