Stocks to buy

We are almost at the end of the year, and what a year this has been! High inflation, high-interest rates, fears of a recession, and low consumer spending continued to remain at the top of our minds, but I believe the worst is over. This means it’s time for many forward-looking investors to begin their

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and Ethereum (ETH-USD) are staples for investors, but potential millionaires may find small-cap altcoins intriguing. These tokens carry higher risks and limited regulatory protection, offering a speculative yet thrilling opportunity. However, anticipated events, including significant halvings and potential interest rate decreases, set the stage for substantial crypto value surges.  As Bitcoin soared, investors

In the bustling AI arena, where innovation is the currency and adaptability is the key, three of the top AI stocks have emerged as titans, steering the world towards an imminent trillion-dollar future. Their fundamentals are vividly depicted in their fiscal performance. They encapsulate a narrative beyond numbers, embodying resilience, strategic prowess and an unwavering

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to shape the future of technology. The advent of generative AI in 2023 promises to fundamentally reshape the world. The future of technology has also fundamentally changed, and the speed of innovation is likely to only accelerate. The advent of technologies, including generative AI and conversational AI, is reshaping entire industries.

Small-cap stocks are ready for a 2024 resurgence as investors’ risk appetite grows but mega-caps remain somewhat overvalued. Small-caps have had a tough year thus far, though, as evidenced by the Russell 2000 returning a slim 7% since January. But that’s about to change. Intelligent investors are poised to snag some small-caps within the Russell

Lithium stocks can fill numerous holes in an investor’s portfolio. Not only is the spot price of lithium expected to rise substantially shortly, which gives it growth characteristics, but many lithium stocks also pay substantial dividends and have operations based outside of the United States. This combination of qualities makes lithium stocks attractive options for

The holiday season is around the corner. Some argue that this is one of the most awaited festivities of the year, bringing most families together during this yuletide season. People plan to travel to their cherished hometowns or a new destination for a holiday getaway. Either way, it provides investors with opportunities to take advantage

With the world attempting to go green, the Biden Administration just announced a $7 billion investment in hydrogen hubs in the U.S. Deployment of low-cost, clean hydrogen is crucial to meeting Biden’s climate goals. All of which should be a powerful catalyst for related hydrogen stocks. Plus, as I’ve noted, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America believe hydrogen could be an $11

Not every investor wants to roll the dice and take on risky stocks. While some of those stocks can deliver life-changing gains, these types of stocks can also end up accruing significant losses. Blue-chip stocks are a less risky alternative that embraces the mantra of “slow and steady wins the race.” Most of these stocks

Looking back, 2021 was a golden year for growth stocks. But it didn’t take much time for sentiments to reverse when tight monetary policies translated into a big correction in 2022. The current year has seen mixed results, and I would classify it as a year of consolidation and selective buying. As the markets start

Fortune reported in November that rent is cheaper than mortgages in 95 out of 97 major metropolitan areas in the U.S. These rental market trends were from Bank of America’s economists.   “[T]heir analysis found that ‘rent was still cheaper than mortgages in all but two of 97 major Metro Areas,’ as of October, despite the

In the stock market, value is often found in places that other investors might miss. So, the first main quality of hidden gem stocks is their undervaluation. Next, they must have substantial earnings growth potential. Investors want growth since growing earnings usually means a growing share price. However, these stocks are not easy to discover.

Optics show blue-chip stocks are trending in vogue with investors, as the market rally broadens out beyond technology companies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), comprised of 30 blue-chip securities, rose 8% in November for its best month since October 2022. On the last day of November, the Dow gained more than 500 points in

Tech startups have been trading erratically since the start of the pandemic, experiencing wild volatility in both directions over the past three years. However, a general trend among these stocks is that sentiment on Wall Street remains quite bearish. Smaller tech stocks have not seen nearly the appreciation of their larger counterparts, signaling that investors

Many bargain-priced mid-cap and micro-cap penny stocks are trading at highly-discounted levels right now. With the recent cooler-than-expected PCE inflation read, markets are now pricing in just a 2.5% chance of another Fed rate hike. These numbers include a 60% chance of a cut as early as March. Accordingly, I believe now is an opportune

Unlike tech stocks, fintech has had a good year so far. The bank collapse pushed consumers toward fintech companies that are steady and considered reliable. This is one industry that is always transitioning, as we move towards digitization, the demand for credit cards will increase, and as student loan repayment resumes, the demand for personal

In the fast-evolving landscape of technological investments, robotics stocks emerge as a captivating opportunity for investors seeking growth. The global economy is witnessing a transformative shift, largely driven by companies excelling in automation and robotics. With the robotics market on a significant upward trajectory, experts project its value to reach a staggering $37.37 billion this

Artificial intelligence has helped companies offer better products and services that translate into higher revenue. The technology has been a boon for investors, with some of the top artificial intelligence stocks tripling in value within a few years. Some stocks have achieved those gains year-to-date (YTD).  Many companies and consumers benefit from the continued innovation

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq appear to be entering another rally toward the end of 2023. The October CPI report, which came out in mid-November, and other labor market data indicated that inflation and unemployment were easing, reducing the pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates further. This rally has led to the emergence

I think 2024 will be the year small-cap stocks win big. We’re already seeing tailwinds lift the stock market closer to past highs, but (valid) criticism points to just a handful of mega-cap stocks driving most of the momentum. But, for many investors, risk is back on the table. At the same time, companies like
