These top solar stocks are leading the way forward amid the world’s transition to green energy initiatives. It’s common knowledge that many countries (including the U.S.) are tracking well behind their goals to curb carbon emissions. Still, for many countries, these emissions continue to track higher year-over-year. This is why countries like Australia are giving
Recently, Americans have been notably pessimistic. Gallup reported “overwhelmingly high” levels of pessimism in mid-October, a sentiment echoed by the University of Michigan. However, the public’s perceptions do not entirely align with the reality of the financial, economic and monetary landscape. As the final month of 2023 approaches, the year is proving to be robust

It turns out, all of the power lies within a tiny little device, called a semiconductor. These power the things we rely on daily. As a result, there’s definitely a
The High Dividend Yield Vanguard ETF (NYSEARCA:VYM) has surged by more than 6% month-over-month, suggesting that dividend stocks are regaining traction. Intuitively speaking, the resurgence does make sense as a pending interest rate pivot may initiate more confidence among dividend investors. I say this because stocks with high dividend payout ratios usually suffer during high interest rate environments.
Starting out as an investor can be intimidating. As legendary investor Warren Buffett put it, there are two important rules to follow: One, don’t lose money. And two, remember rule number one.

After many, if not most, growth stocks tumbled over the last two and a half years, I can certainly understand why investors would want to include many safe stocks in their portfolios. Further, a majority of the Magnificent Seven stocks are quite high at this point, so buying and holding them entails significant amounts of
Cybersecurity has been around for several years and will continue to be one of the fastest growing sectors. In addition to strong demand, these products command high margins. That’s why it’s time for investors to leave room for cybersecurity stocks in their portfolio. Recent growth has been spurred by the emergence of artificial intelligence
Blue chip stocks are generally a strong investment for any stage of the economic cycle and tend to take advantage of overarching trends. That remains as true today as it was yesterday and will be tomorrow. Today’s economy is marked by a lot of unsteadiness. Prices and inflation continue to be high but appear to be
While we’re not in a bull market, certain value penny stocks show potential for 5x or 10x returns in the next five years, assuming forecasted business catalysts unfold. If we’re focusing on promising early-stage businesses, the long-term outlook is optimistic. Discussing penny stocks with a 12-month return potential of 100% may seem conservative, considering the
Rapper Snoop Dogg announced on Nov. 17 that he was giving up smoking cannabis. Cannabis stocks fell on the news. “After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time,” Newsweek reported Snoop Dogg’s comments from X and Instagram. As anyone who’s followed cannabis
The primary argument for a labor market rebound is that the recession of 2023 hasn’t emerged as planned. In typical fashion, many economists and market analysts are simply kicking the can down the road and calling for a recession sometime in 2024. Like a broken clock, they may be right. Who knows? Right now, the
The market was unkind to small-cap stocks in 2023. The Russell 2000 index only gained 2.2% this year while the largest stocks as measured by the S&P 500 jumped almost 19%. It’s not surprising, since small-caps feel the impact of high inflation and rising interest rates more than their bigger brethren. Because the Federal Reserve
Space stocks are becoming popular companies for investors to grow their money in. We’ve seen business celebrities like Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson lead the way with their own private spacecraft in recent years, and now ordinary people are looking to the stars to see if they can get their piece of the action.

Over the past year, consumers have shifted their spending preferences from goods to services.

Bloomberg recently discussed how a handful of investment firms control the $1.6 trillion private credit market, including Ares Management (NYSE:ARES) and Blackstone (NYSE:BX). “Private lenders have swooped into a void left by banks shying away from riskier loans amid fears of an economic slowdown. In 2022, the last year for which data is available, direct
Large and mega-caps like Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) occasionally turn into multibagger stocks even after breaking into the big leagues. But this isn’t common. More often than not, finding true multibagger stocks to buy is a matter of identifying promising, beaten-down small-cap stocks with enormous upside potential. But, paradoxically, these same companies are often either unprofitable or
Some of the hottest opportunities can be found in biotech stocks. Look at gene editing companies, like CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ:CRSP), for example. Since the start of November, CRSP ran from about $40 to $70.60 on a favorable US FDA advisory panel review of its sickle cell treatment. Now, as it nears its Dec. 8 PDUFA date it could
