The Global X Lithium & Battery Tech ETF (NYSEARCA:LIT) shed over 15% of its market value since the turn of the year, suggesting the lithium industry is subject to systematic headwinds. Although lithium stocks have surrendered value, we need to put matters into perspective before committing to long-term investment decisions. Firstly, consider that, like most commodity prices,
November through January are broadly considered to be peak holiday season. These three months are characterized by increased retail spending, travel and tourism, and splurges on luxuries. This includes a spending binge on casinos, online gambling, and iGaming. Therefore, from a seasonal perspective, investors consider exposure to some of the best gambling stocks. With positive

Last week, I revealed five “jackpot” stocks to buy for 2024. These longshot bets all had enormous potential… and also all the risks associated with early stage startups. Happily, one of these stocks has already notched double-digit gains. Plug Power (NASDAQ:PLUG) is now up 28% since Monday on renewed interest in “meme” stocks. On average,
The markets have an ocean of stocks, and consistently beating the index involves spotting the right opportunities. This further involves two important aspects. First, not pursuing hot stocks for fear of missing out. It generally translates into buying at stretched valuations.

Quantum computing stocks should be on your radar. The vast potential of quantum technologies means we’ll likely witness dramatic progress in AI, IoT, and clean energy technologies. These computers will give us the needed horsepower, but the tech is presently under a competitive research and development environment. Regardless of the speculative nature of quantum computing
There’s a strong argument to be made that investors should consider mid-cap AI stocks currently. The markets expect that the Fed will hold interest rates steady moving forward. Rate cuts will likely begin sometime in early to mid-2024. That will benefit mid-cap stocks in particular. Mid-caps tend to become cash-strapped in periods of high interest rates. Conversely,
Low-price stocks are the favorite of retail investors. It’s understandable, as there is scope for diversification even with a small corpus. However, in general, low-price stocks come with big risks.

The economy is showing strong signs of improvement as we get into the holiday mood. Investment choices are many, but investors with a limited amount need to conduct thorough research. Diversification is the key if you are a beginner and starting with $1,000. This is one of the keys when thinking about the best ways

Within the penny stocks space, there seem to be a lot of stories that can do 5x or 10x in the coming years. However, not all stocks fire and exposure to penny stocks involves high risk. Having said that, I would not shy away from holding a few penny stocks in my portfolio. If multibagger returns come,
The equities market can feel like navigating through a fog while searching for the best penny stocks. Yet, amidst this uncertainty, a handful of names emerge as clear winners, displaying robust resilience and performance throughout the year.

Temperatures are getting lower, at least in most of the United States. The Farmer’s Almanac predicts above-average snowfall for much of the U.S. and colder-than-normal weather. There will be many days, it seems, where the best thing you’ll be able to do is sit by a fire and bask in the warmth of your dividend
Do you remember how Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) was the object of scorn in 2022 and early 2023? Now, Intel is finally getting its due respect. Consequently, INTC stock has rallied, but this is a time to let your winners run, not take your chips off the table. Don’t get the wrong idea. Intel will have to face
