When analysts write about the metaverse, it’s not uncommon for it to be in a derisive tone. The fact that we’re not all strapped into virtual reality (VR) headsets with our families at home indicates its failure. The truth is the metaverse is already here. Just like Bitcoin (BTC-USD) isn’t considered a failure due to

Large language models (LLMs) allow users to get a glimpse into the milieu of their social environment, as the responses of these models are determined by the aggregate thoughts and opinions of people at large. This means that models like Grok, a recently released LLM by X, can potentially be used as a starting point

The electric vehicle market may have cooled recently, but this is temporary. As the economy improves, EV demand could pick up and the top EV stocks will start racing. Bloomberg expects a 22% growth in the EV market this year and believes the slowdown will lead to an acceleration in demand over the next two years. The

Retirement stocks, often considered the bedrock of a secure financial future, are always relevant for those seeking a stable and reliable income stream as they plan for their golden years. Characterized by their resilience in market volatility, these stocks represent companies with robust balance sheets and a proven track record of performance, even during economic

As investors, we are always looking to beat the market. As such, we are deeply interested in finding ways that can give us a leg up. Given that studies have found stocks with higher ESG ratings tend to outperform the market, ESG stocks are likely worth considering as potential additions to a portfolio. What are

Last week, I wrote how 2024 would be all about earnings. Corporate fortunes are diverging, interest rates are stabilizing, and 2024 is shaping up to be a year when company performance matters more than big-picture macroeconomic stories. We’re already seeing these effects. Last Wednesday, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE:TSM) announced that its December revenues had handily

There are a few stock market trends that savvy investors will want to keep on top of. These trends are centered around the composition of investor flows to different equities, as well as leaning on forward projections of which sectors, industries, and geographies will come out on top by the end of the year.

Conduct your due diligence on Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) and, after discovering what makes this company essential to today’s businesses, consider a position in CRM stock. Just

Even as the S&P 500 marks new highs, many top growth stocks haven’t seen the same momentum. Since most of the recent market gains come from just a handful of leading stocks, hidden opportunities in growth stocks abound. Some are small-caps, of course, and those represent the best long-term growth stocks as they have more room to run. Others,

Some of the worst and most deadly diseases affect our brains. In multiple sclerosis, the immune system “causes communication problems between your brain and the rest of your body,” preventing some victims from walking.” Brain cancer is often a quick killer, while Alzheimer’s, of course, causes victims to slowly lose their cognitive abilities and is

Three weeks into the New Year, and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD)stock looks like an unstoppable growth play and one of the best AI trades. Since the year’s first trading day on Jan. 2, AMD stock has gained 26%, outpacing nearly all other microchip and semiconductor companies. Even Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) shares, which are up 23% ytd,

ChatGPT and generative AI took the market by storm in 2023. After that, many technology titans, namely Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), saw their share prices appreciate immensely off the back of the AI “craze.” Quantum computing stocks may now be the next promising technology stocks of the 21st century. It has the potential to solve complex problems

Want to generate extra income without working extra hours? Dividend stocks allow many investors to fulfill that goal.

After coming off a strong year, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock is still a screaming buy in 2024. Last year was the year of artificial intelligence, and this year will be no different. This is the most important computer technology since the birth of the internet, and PwC estimates that AI could contribute more than $15 trillion

We talk about stocks going “to the Moon” all the time. Sometimes, like with Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock, they do. But all stocks return to fundamental value. Those on the Nvidia rocket, like me, constantly face the question of when to get off. The answer, so far, has been not yet. Since the hype over AI

There’s been little in the way of news/announcements with Palantir Technologies (NYSE:PLTR) stock recently. As before, all eyes are on the AI software company’s upcoming earnings release, scheduled post-market Feb. 5. I can understand why PLTR stock owners may plan to take profits. There are increasing concerns that AI stocks, even high-quality names like this

If we want to find something that blends technology, science and a healthier, cleaner world, we need to talk about lithium stocks. Lithium is becoming increasingly indispensable in the world of batteries and electric vehicles. Of course, without the incredible work that these companies do with the exploration and exploitation of lithium, batteries would not

Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that have been increasing dividends for the last 25 years. Inherently, these companies have deep stability and for that reason continue to be attractive. A lot has happened over that period: The.com bubble, the 2007 crash, and the pandemic are among the more prominent disruptions. Yet, these Dividend Aristocrats have continued

With electric vehicle sales disappointing against prior forecasts, it’s easy to question the narrative of lithium stocks. However, if you believe in the transformative potential of EVs – and there’s some good evidence for that – you might be attracted with the sector-wide de-risking. According to a Fortune article, analysts projected that in 2023, U.S.

Following a much-hyped introduction, space stocks have admittedly stunk up the field. Nevertheless, the underlying sector is only growing in relevance. Recently, Japan’s efforts to land a lunar rover on the moon reflect the heightened global competition in the space race. Fundamentally, this dynamic bodes well for the long haul. Some projections state that the
